A few years back I found a NIB TOL Eureka Express, even when I opened up the sealed box, the wheels were already sticky and falling apart. I tried glueing, but finally gave it sadly to goodwill. I had one of these when they first came out and really liked it, shortly after that, I decided to try Electrolux and ended up with a nib Discovery III and a Marquis nib canister. I have always had an Electrolux canister and upright since then, along with my vintage vacuums.
In my opinion, that was Eureka's last TOL vacuum they made, then came the World Vacs.... PR-21 Bud |

There is at least one Express canister on Ebay. May be worth buying for parts.
A quick fix idea- get a roll of clear packing tape. Turn the machine over and put a line of tape on each wheel. Maybe wrap a couple of times. Attach the tape end to the tread then holding the spool in one hand, use the other hand to turn the wheel and wind the tape onto the wheel.

A Eureka Express power nozzle is a Beam Rugmaster Power nozzle which is still manufactured and available from Beam.
Eureka may not make the parts but Beam does. I've compared photos of my former Eureka Express canister vacuum cleaner and the baseplates and every detail seems to match up. Model numbers for the Beam Rugmaster power nozzle can be as follows: 045389, 045322, 045320 The front wheels for the Beam Rugmaster Power nozzle are coming up as: 155413, they are $2.25 from the link below. Here are more links with information to compare: evacuumstore.com/p-2627-beam-genu... www.centralvacuumdirect.com/beam-... www.beamvac.com/Productcatalog/Pr... www.centralvacuumstores.com/centr... www.centralvacuumstores.com/centr... www.hescoinc.com/schematic/eureka... Rear wheels for the canister suction unit are part number 26440-25. You can check the Hesco schematic for the Express line in link above! www.searspartsdirect.com/part-num... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eureka-Express-R... www.amazon.com/Eureka-EUREKA-2644...

I am so glad that was extremely helpful for you!!
Ever since I found Hesco years ago, I've been kinda addicted to it. Sears Parts outlet is another great place to research certain parts. I've known for a while that Beam had the Rugmaster head. The Rugmaster version is essentially a rebadged exact copy of the Express power head that Eureka had. Eureka mainly called that power head as the Express. However it did reappear some years later on the Eureka Europa canister and some Oxygen units by Eureka. I think the Eureka Oxygen units are what led to the Electrolux Oxygen units when Eureka bought the Electrolux name and created that new line. When the Electrolux line came out, the Express power nozzle was never a part of that line. There is also a non-headlight version of the Express power nozzle on the market which goes by the name: SweepnGroom. I've only ever seen it called SweepnGroom and not actually a known manufacturer such as Nutone, Eureka, Beam or otherwise. But anyway, please keep me posted!! Oh yeah-- The Eureka Express that I used to have only had plastic wheels on the canister body. They were teal blue. My Eureka Express was 8281D. It had a 12 Amp, 5 HP motor system. It originally came with a wood brush roll, which I was confused over so I upgraded it to the the metal VGIII. Here's 2 photos I found of it. I had more, but need to search my hard drives more. |
