Firt, WELCOME!
That is the Hoover Guardsman.... a commercial vacuum cleaner. It is an earlier model, noticeable by the indented badge (logo_ on the metal base. It also had a cloth shakeout bag, easily adapted into a paper throwaway bag. (Type A). It is a real workhorse. You could also use Convertible cleaning tools (front conversion). The light lens can be fixed. Sometime, in early production of that style, the lens would shrink.
Congrats on a great find. Get it serviced, give it a spa treatment, and it could last for years and years. John. | ||

HOOVER GUARDSMAN U4125
Thank you so much John. I started to clean it up last night and its not nearly as bad as i thought. I will post some more photos this afternoon. Im actually hoping to sell it . I pick up these older hoovers when i come across them because i love the look. I think theyre really fun to clean up. Here is a link to a hoover convertable i did last summer. Im bad about remembering to take before pictures. But it was pretty bad. Found it next to a trash can.

Thank you!
MadMan: Thank you for the warm welcome. Yes Zenyatta was disgusting! But she's much better now.

Thank you TheSpiritOf76!!
Jae,
So kind of you to provide all that info. So, she's 39 years old. These machines were definitely well made. Now that I have spent the better part of the day cleaning her, she doesn't look a day over 25. Do you have any suggestions on how to get the yellow off the headlight lens without removing the black lettering? And, I'm having a hard time getting the lens to stay in. It seems a little too small for the opening. | ||
