Hey guys, I recently picked up a 1920s Ohio vacuum cleaner, and I'm trying to get the impeller off so I can service the motor bearings and clean the commutator. Can anyone help me in removing the impeller? Thanks! Chris | ||

My bad. Here's the bottom of the impeller. Now is it screwed on or a friction fit?

The bag says "The Improved Ohio." Would that make it a model 5? | ||

After a good oiling the bearings were whisper quiet so I'll leave it as is for now. Here are a couple pics of the assembled machine and the "Modernized Ohio" bag. That should be interesting to replicate. Thanks for the help guys! | ||
