I just got this Eureka 5071E today and see that it has the smooth drive wheels. When did they change over to the ribbed wheels? Burt |

These were one of the best self propelled vacs.(A later Eureka had a drive unit on only one rear wheel!)The 'change' to ribbed actually happens when the correct smooth rubber is dried,aged,bumped & worn and breaks away. Great(&rare)Eureka.Happy Vacuuming. |
