Ever buy something and think Why?
I went to the Elkhorn fleamarket yesterday and ended up buying a Hoover Model 925 for $20. Once I started to haul it to the car I wondered Why did I buy this? Got it home and plugged it in they direct wired the motor and bypassed the switch all together. Took all the tape off the handle and got the switch out, found the third wire, then tested all the wires, it has high and low speeds. Taking off the pulley cover it's missing part of the pulley, what is there is this weird clutch mechanism on the shaft. The brush roll is a newer one with curved brush inserts instead of the straight brush inserts. The bag on it is a Dustest conversion bag that takes C type bags. It had a cloth bag inside instead of a paper bag full of crap. | ||

My most wanted machine is a commercial 925 or 900. I'd trade my whole collection for a nice one as its one machine that if I possessed it consider my collection complete! You got a score even if it's a little wonky. It can be made beautiful again with just a little love | ||

It's cleaning up nicely. What's left of the pulley is interesting, I think it has a clutch or a harmonic balancer (to dampen vibrations) not sure which. Then here's a couple shots of the motor.
3rdGenVacGuy - Thank you for the offer, I'm still deciding as to where I want to go with this. I know the vultures are already circling. | ||
