This just came in the mail today! I've been looking for this Hoover for a long time too. Its in amazing shape! Both cosmetically and mechanically from what I can tell so far. I don't think that this machine saw very heavy use.

I know right! Lol, 3 other people bid me up to a whopping $13.49! less than 1/8 of most Wal-Mart/target or whatever big box store plastivacs and it will out clean any of them. The suction that this machine generates is far more than what I was expecting.

That'll have the steel lined fan chamber too. Great machine and good that yours has the cloth bag rather than the dirt cup, which is awful. Seems to be more common also, sadly.

The cloth bag still leaks but not nearly as badly and at least maintains airflow enough to get the rug clean!

Centralvacs1928,

You are absolutely right! I can't stand the dirt cups either. I just tool a dirt cup assembly off another Guardsman that I have, it was shot and spewing dust everywhere!

If you wanted the unit to run a little cleaner (assuming you're going to use it often), you could probably put a Convertible bellows and fill tube on that bag, so you could use a Type C (or maybe Eureka F & G) bag inside the cloth. You'd just have to change it through the top bag clamp, like the early low-end Hoover Elites.

I did that with my Hoover 913, using a Type C bag adaptor and fill tube from a Model 63.

Actually,

The bag that came with already has a Hoover Type A bag set up. I have done that before though, I'm contemplating doing that to my Hoover U7037, which has a dumpout bag on it now.
