 Hey My Kirby tradition has the safety switch that like a paddle on pinball machine. The vacVAcon bottom has high and low speed. The switch activates both speeds through hose and nozzle. If I wired 2 wires to power switch I would not need safety switch. Another quick question. I think someone is selling a heritage in my area with 13 inch nozzle. I'm not positive. I'll post pic of ad. See what everyone thinks. Les

small head heritage II
yes!!! it is , if youre interested grab it! those are very hard to find. hopefully the price is reasonable. even 30 years on, heritaage II's are still very common, so it shouldnt be much (hopefully)
also, dont bypass the safety switch, if its bad, kent owyler or bill edstrom have replacements. sounds like someone botched the wire placements in the switch, its quite easy to fix as the wires are color coded and the switch labeled for proper colors in each slot. | ||

She probably thought she was sitting on a gold mine like everyone that has an old Kirby does. They just pull it out of the basement for the first time in 30 years "oh this is a kirby its really old, i want $100 for it these are worth $1,000"
If she was selling all of them for $25 that would have been a great deal to take advantage of! | ||

Ben Hey I'm tight on money. I don't have alot of wiggle room. She is having a family member sell them. I think she is an attorney and really busy. I'm keeping my eye on that website site for sale again. Hopefully then I could buy all the vacuums. Thanks for all your help. If I see again I'll keep you posted. Les | ||

Ben I will. I've seen your nozzle and one on eBay a year ago for $250. It and a Kirby commercial vacuum are on my list of vacuums. I'll scrape up a couple hundred and text her in future. Legend # g5 d80 and 560 I could almost make money back from g5 and legend 2. Ben is there any literature about heritage 13. I have not seen anything. Les | ||

Les,
No, no literature I know of for the 13" nozzle, even though the belt lifters are shared with the standard 16" nozzles and the other parts shared with the nozzle castings for models 513-515 and 516-D80. But the specific part numbers for them do exist, though. Here are the parts unique to just these 13" nozzles: 143179 = air adjusting plate (early Heritage I nozzles only) 143382S = complete 13" nozzle w/o brush or belt (Heritage I) 143383S = complete 13" nozzle w/o brush or belt (Heritage 84) 143384S = complete 13" nozzle w/o brush or belt (Heritage II) 143386S = complete 13" nozzle w/o brush or belt (Heritage II Legend) 143388S = complete 13" nozzle w/o brush or belt (Legend II) 147984 = 13" nozzle bumper (Heritage II/Legend) 147988 = 13" nozzle bumper (Legend II) 500505 = 13" Quadra-Sweep brush roll assembly (also shared with Comvac CV1300) 502??? = 13" nozzle bumper (Heritage I/84) ~Ben This post was last edited 09/07/2018 at 02:00 | ||

Ben,
What's the point of listing all these parts numbers? Does any retailer actually have them listed by the numbers for a search? Even at vac stores, the person there just asks you what model you have and that's it, never have I seen where the part numbers , especially power nozzles etc, came into play. Can you order these parts from Kirby directly?

Kelton,
Not anymore, but I included them for reference. The part numbers I mention for each nozzle refer to such finer details like decals and trim colors. Most of the time, you can try to ask for one just by the model name and size. ~Ben This post was last edited 09/10/2018 at 11:49 | ||
