It is possible either the belt is worn or on backwards. If that doesn't help, maybe new motor brushes would... |

... this is EXACTLY what was plaguing Mom's 1060 back in the early '90s (after rock-solid service almost daily since 1968).
Our vac shop guy ended up replacing the motor with one more powerful, but it seemed to only just make it *louder*. Eventually that "bogging down" problem came back. That's why conditions were ripe when Mom was introduced to the Amway Cleartrak. And goodbye to the Hoover. :( |

It has a brand new belt and it's installed correctly. It's not the agitator that slows down, but the motor itself. The sound of the motor actually changes. |

It sounds like carbon brush problems to me. |
