Tim,
This 882T was built in April 1991 according to the serial number, which would mean it would take the square-ended brush roll assembly. And speaking of that, you will have to do quite a bit of looking around for one (part no. 2-059721-000 or 2-159273-000) as Royal/TTI hadn't made them for about a decade now. And also, a replacement belt for this model is part no. 1-044260-001. About oiling the rear bearing in the motor: yes, it is recommended to do so about each year for general household use (if used commercially, then oil more frequently). Use only medium-grade (SAE 30) oil (don't use lightweight or sewing machine oil), and take care not to overfill the oil wick. ~Ben |

Would this model Royal ever had a brush roll with stiffeners? Could I use a brush with stiffeners? |

Tim,
In 1991, this model initially had the single-bristle brush roll (2-159273-000), but yes, you can change that to a double-bristle type with stiffeners. For this model, you can use part no. 2-088221-000, 2-188273-000 or 2-675227-000. ~Ben This post was last edited 12/11/2018 at 11:15 |
