Hoover Minor
We has two version here which, although superficially identical, are different in several respects. They are basically just the standard upright motor turned sideways.
If I remember what I have been told they were sold with or without tools so that someone who had bought tools for their upright could use them with the minor - a more expensive but greatly more convenient option. This is a picture taken in 2008 - neither of these machines are mine.

Cool pics Vacbear! So I take it the hose and attachments aren't impossible to get? The bag on the other hand, I'm guessing would be pretty hard to get, as there aren't probably many left. | ||

Neat little machines-the answer to a canister vac at that point from Hoover.Why would you want the carpet tool if this machine was going to be a companion to an upright?Think a bare floor tool and the hand tools would be more useful.Thought those machines in general were now hard to get. | ||

Attachments
Hose and tools should be reasonably easy to track down, it is my understanding that hose and tools from any "coffee can" Hoover (pre model 150 or 25) should fit or at least from model 700 onwards - basically the sort where the hose adaptor fits over the fan chamber (NOT model 305). Over here they are not that common but they are not THAT rare either, just a matter of patience I am afraid.
I guess the bag will be pretty rare, however it would not be that hard to make up a replacement. @tolivac Whilst this machine could be sold as a companion to an upright model it was not sold exclusivly so, hence the need for a carpet nozzle when it was sold on its own, with tools | ||

Now I get it-the Hoover Duster wasn't meant to be a companion vacuum to a Hoover upright-would make a good one for that purpose! | ||

Tools
See the link for the style of tools should be suitable for the Minor.
I am not suggesting you buy these (they are in the UK anyway) but you could look out on ebay for a set like this, the US ones should be very similar CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay | ||
