you can find genuine hoover belts on ebay.. they will be advertised as such in the description. also hoover.com itself sells convertible belts for $2 a piece, which is standard price. c bags are PLENTIFUL on ebay and local vac shops stock them as regular stock items. at least vac shops that service machines, not just sell them. guardsmans use dump bags, like any commercial cleaner, aka sanitaire, comvac, etc.

You were asking about the front conversion tools
I use the front conversion power seal attachments with my 65 all the time, without any problems. It has the same suction if not a little more with the newer tools. Plus, the convertible is not as noisy and I believe it puts less wear on motor. Make sure your gasket around the converter is in good condition. Weather stripping will make a good seal if your original gasket is in poor condition.
The convertible was not designed to have the best suction for above the floor cleaning. But for me it is adequate for most cleaning jobs. I'm not a power hungry type of guy. Kirby has better airflow when using the tools, but the convertible seems to be easier. | ||

Non genuine belts
I recently bought fifteen non genuine belts from Hesco. Not a good purchase! They were beyond bad. I could barely get them on the cleaner they were so stiff. Once I got one on it broke within seconds after using the cleaner.
Make sure the pulley is free from hair and dirt build up. You might try a different agitator If you have one. Is it spinning freely, do you hear scrapping nosies? If so you might not have the agitator assembled correctly. The bearings may also need to be greased. I've had convertible belts snap frequently myself in the past and could not explain the cause. It may just be a cheap belt to begin with. If you are using the CWP brush roll the belts snap rather quickly espically on thicker carpets. This is just from my experience and not a set in stone fact. | ||

The pulley looks OK to me. Anything in particular I'd be looking for? By the way, thanks everyone for all the helpful advice. | ||
