Quasi grandson found he thought the grand kill at an estate sale, lots of bits, not all for this machine. DIRTY, noisy front bearing, some brush arcing, wrong replacement aftermarket bag, no hose. Toys! 2 handi butlers? Must have had other machines. I can NOT get the fan off the shaft to replace the front bearing, I have done this 15 years ago on a Heritage, eyes and hands worse now. I remember putting something in the driveshaft through the slot for the clean fan air. All implements now just bend. Looks like a recent fan, I think 1 piece. What do you guys use? I am not that fond of this model I hate to take it to the vac shop to make Brad think I can fix and want it.Help please???!!

Vac shop guy had an old bag, I think the right one?? 10 bucks, it was SOLD! Runs pretty good, cleans well. I hope it makes Brad happy that we saved it. Age of his dad, I think?? 69 ish?I put in a used bearing I had, it seemed not worth the effort with the problems and crud, now may have to change it again down the road. Was up at 4 and went to work on it, no parts then.
