Amazing that I have had this for over 25 years and never had the Drive Belt fail, as I did not even know there were 2 belts. Will turn it over and have a look tomorrow... thanks |

Good Lord I work at a GOOD one! The owner opened the place 30 years ago. His brother opened one 40 years ago. Their dad was in the business before them. Flat stretch belts last longer than round ones in my experience.
My daily driver (before I started collecting a year or so ago) used a flat brushroll belt and a flat drive belt. I changed the brushroll belt 3 times a year and the self propel belt yearly. Never had a problem to this day and it's a fantastic vacuum!! Andy |

Thanks guys, I also wondered about that button and checked it carefully. Seems ok. Andy, please do check to see if you have something that may assist. I hate to see well made things wind up in the garbage! |
