Electrolux thought about hardwood floors so they designed wheels to fit on the back of the runners.(See photo.) They go just behind the cordwinder. There were several versions, the earliest two separate wheels held with a bolt and wing nut, then two wheels in a metal rod, and finally a swivel caster where the holder for the spare wrappers (bags) were stored. (Like on the model E.)
Actually, the runners won't hurt the hardwood floors, but it will save ware on the hose which if original is 63 years old. So post a few pictures so we can see your handiwork. |

Here are a couple of pictures of the model xxx with the tubing on the sled. You can hardly see it. |
