My first suction sweeper which got me into vacuums, the ever so common Hoover Model 28. Haven't used it for awhile... Anyways, not long ago, I decided to full refurb it. Greased bearing and stuff, sanded comutator and made sure there was no sand on it or dust afterwards(didn't use steel wool, you know why). After I reassembled it I powered it on. It worked, but was running at a lower RPM and had a rubber burning smell, but the brush was unobstructed along with the belt. Can someone tell me what mistake I made or include wiring diagram or schematic of the Hoover Model 28? Thanks ~ Bill Thorner

Also did you make sure the carbon brushes move freely in their housing ? And that the brush roll moved freely without a belt ? |

absolutely NO grease in that upper bearing! None! Oil ONLY!!! You now need to remove it, and clean it with a Q tip and some WD-40 and make certain it is free of grease, then re oil it. |
