Mid 2014 I completed restoration of a Kirby 509, so I thought. A couple of months ago I found and installed a new motor that sounds and runs like new and an original metal brush roll. Then I found some original rubber wheels in good shape and replaced the new black plastic ones. Last night I installed a new replica bag in place of the new black one from Kirby. Did this model originally have washers on the wheels? If so I will add them and I think it's really done!
