Hoover 63, Filter Queen 33, Royal 606, and more coming soon. Do they look good? All of them are full rebuilds.

Bill,
Your 606 was built October of 1977. Last known part number for front bearing assembly was 2-080127-000, but good luck finding that one today! Until 1979, some Royals had both rear and front bearings, but since then Royals only had one bearing, in the rear (which is also why there is only one oil port on the most recent pre-1995 Royal metal uprights).
Thus, I believe the rear bearing assembly (2-080126-000) should be looked into as well. Did you oil that recently?

It works and it's redone to the best of my capabilities without damaging it... It seems so different from coming 543... Thicker handle bail... Textured base... Switch on handle with no boot over switch... Weird connection to motor... Weird... Please tell me about this weird Hoover. No bag assembly Or cord.

I know nothing about it and it was never used for cleaning. Still has tag on original bag. Was very corroded. Disintegrating cord rapped in plastic to stop it from shedding black strings.

Bill,
A simple picture I found while looking at a 1971 Royal 801 on eBay will show you where the front motor bearing is... thus I want to ask you: does your '77 606 also have a second oil cap by the headlight and nozzle?
