I found this a few weeks ago and was going to swap the motor to one of my euereka vacs. turns out the motor will fit but was just a bit too big. Anyone know where or how I can get some attachments for it. I cant bare to get rid of it now I really got to like it.

Yes you want to keep that one, and somebody here will get you some tools.

Nice Kennie!

That machine would be from the mid-to-late '70s, and it's upper-MOL, like maybe one model away from the TOL. You should be able to put together a set of tools pretty quickly, they're all over the place. They're white plastic or white rubber, depending on which tool you're talking about, and the dusting brush has a swivel neck on it, which is really nice for dusting bookcases. There's a little round Sears logo moulded into each one.

The machine would have had a floor tool, a crevice tool, and a dusting brush. On some models, the crevice tool fit into a little slot on the side of the machine, and some models use one crevice tool, and others use another. If you have the crevice tool slot, it may take a couple of tries before you find the correct tool that fits properly. The floor tools and dusting brush were the same for all MOL and TOL models.

P.S.:

Looks like something is going on with the blower port, in the rear of the machine, as if something like filter material is pressing up against it from the inside. There should also be a little plastic cover for the port, which looks like it's wedged in between the filter material (or whatever it is) and the body of the canister, from the inside.

I'm guessing you looked under the green covered part, for tools, the one on my vacuum falls off if you don't hold a finger on it.
