Maybe you could find a match at a hardware store. I'm sure Hoover quit making those parts years ago. Otherwise you might have to get a parts donor machine.

The 2100 is one of the suitcase models if I remember correctly.
Doesn't that motor have fans at both ends of the motor?
I think it used the Dial-A-Matic motor.

The early Hoover Portapowers used the Dial-A-Matic motor in them. You can usually find these cheap at Goodwill or Salvation Army. There are plenty of them around and it would provide parts for yours. I know the trift store in Aurora had a couple of the Portapowers a while back.

fan spacer

Bikerray is correct, some portapowers had the dial motor with the 3rd fan on the commutator end. They were the models, 404, 409, s1015, and s1029. The spacer you need is part # 012013. It was only used on those 4 models of portapower and the slimline and suitcase portable type machines with this motor. TTI dealer website allows you to see which models the part # is used on and what # in the parts description. The bearing I.D. is 8mm. I took a fan spacer off a celebrity motor cut it down and squared off the end in my lathe, looks like this picture. The assembly goes spacer, washer, fan, washer, then the nut. I figured the fan should register on the shaft and not the threads. So I left a little space for the first washer and fan to register on the flat, Then add the second washer and then you should have all threads. Let me know if you think this will work, I can dig up a screw for you also.

Dial-A-Matice and Portables used the same motor. Portapower changed later. If I had any spare parts, I'd send them to you. Good luck. It shouldn't be too hard finding a donor part.

spacer

Dax, email me your address and I will mail it out tomorrow. The screw you need is the Phillips head that holds the L shape retainer, that holds in the carbon brush, I believe. I can blow up the picture from the TTI website, hard to tell on your post in the super market section. - Kurt.

The bearing is a sealed bearing held into the bakelite housing with three rivets going through a metal plate under the bearing. If the bearing is smooth, I would not worry about it. You can remove the rubber shield from the bearing by using a very small and very thin flat blade screwdriver. Insert the screwdriver under the rubber seal next to the inner race of the bearing and gently pry or twist the screwdriver blade. You probably won't get the seal out unless the armature is removed. The first picture is just showing how to remove the seal, leave the bearing in the housing. The rubber shield is reinforced with very thin metal, It may be necessary to straighten shield slightly after removal. These shields are not really meant to be removed because they also keep dust and dirt out of the bearing. I usually only remove these if the bearing is dry.

Try using some JB Weld on the broken bakelite housing.

I do have the brand new housings available still. They would run $15 shipped to WA.
