tom is right
in 1955 the current model wouldve been a model 63. you cant read serial numbers on hoovers prior to 1987 and discern dates. the numbers were in no way anything but internal catalog numbers of the unit number made for that model on the line. without a hoover production binders, you cant tell when it was made unless you know someone who does have a copy.
most machines that were number one off the line started with 00001 or 001001 depending on the era made. any other numbers were higher up (and later) in the production line of that model. thats it. not dates. | ||

April 1955 ? Good information above.If you are seeing a date of 4-55 is was common to stamp the date when serviced on the bottom of Hoovers.Most likely by a local Hoover dealer. | ||

The Hoover Model 28 was sold from 1946 to 1950. The "4-55" was likely when it was last serviced by Hoover. I think that's the answer why your attachments aren't working.
I stole some photos from an eBay auction of a 100% complete and accurate Hoover Model 28 that ended back in February 2018 that might help you to know what the attachments look like. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-1940s-H... | ||

Photos Thanks for the replies. I confirmed it is a model 28, and the 4-1955 does look like a stamp. Here are some photos of the machine. | ||

:) Thank you! Here are some pics of the attachments. The hose has the same type of notch that snaps into the top of the tool adapter. | ||

Hoover Mo 28 Nice Hoover & complete atts with box are getting harder to find! It's been awhile since I used a Hoover for other than Beating,Sweeping & Cleaning carpet but I recall you should press rear of vac down when inserting hose connector to raise front of nozzle. | ||

Thank you! Thanks again for the replies, everyone. Turns out I made a newbie mistake and wasn't pressing down on the spring loaded rear of the vacuum before inserting the connector tool. Thanks for solving my problem! The attachments work very well. | ||
