Hey
The bag is not on right and nozzle on left looks off. Notice the belt lifter. Everything might work but brush isn't spinning. It could be safety switch. Carbon brush it would turn on and sound terrible. I'd bet you put nozzle on made sure belt engages it would start right up. I think it's sellers error it should work assembled properly. Heritage switches are not prone to malfunction very rare.
Les PS this vacuum is going to sale for a couple hundred dollars. Amazing ebs and flows of vacuum sales. | ||

My Kirby Heritage II base model had the same issue. It is for sure the safety switch. Just spray with contact cleaner and work it manually with a flat screwdriver and it should free it up enough to make contact again. When it is not engaged, it can develop surface rusting on both sides of the relay switch and then not make contact when depressed.
Here's mine after I got the switch freed - | ||

Hey
I had seller post pictures of the 13" inch nozzle. I gave them directions on how to start. I basically said make sure belt lifter you can read heritage. They emailed me back the vacuum started up. This is a 13" heritage 2. I did say get an avalir but this 13 inch heritage is probably the best Kirby cleaning they have ever made.
The newer vacuums since 1970 all have 16 inch nozzle. They are wider bodied and bigger motor. This motor along with 13" nozzle is only vacuum that would outperform my d80. The d80 arguably has best they made. This is the exception. It's rare and with heritage wheel carriage it can reach all 7 adjustments. It normally has 8 but heritage has micro matic to touch that they basically put a notch in because vacuums on first setting ate rugs. I know most will agree this has no transmission but the cleaning this vacuum can do no other vacuum can beat. If you ever watch you tube they have Kirby versus wars. You will notice the d80 doesn't lose. This probably would win. Ben and Chris could do this battle but wider stance and a little more more cfm it would win. I dare say with this you would enjoy vacuuming. Les | ||

Lesinutah Les,
Kirby brought back the 13" nozzle option during the sales run of the 1HD Heritage, which was in early 1983. And it did last through the Legend II in 1990, though I do not have a picture of that last one, though.

Hey
The small nozzle heritage 2 13 will be shipped tommorow addressed to me.
The seller really appreciated my help so if I paid shipping I could have it. So I'm going to be proud owner of a heritage 2 13 vacuum. I got a 4 roll brush roll waiting. I also got amodel fan too. I got my tradition wheel assembly on d80 it just needs green wheels put on. I can do an airflow test seeing if indeed the undisputed vs King d80 can be beat. I'm still pulling for d89 since it's one of my all time favorites. The heritage has I believe more power but it could be the same. Les | ||

Hey
Thanks for those videos. Very sweet vacuums. I have a video of my 509 I filmed but Android doesn't like windows 10.2.
I'm computer savvy but my heck I don't like new windows. If I get free time I'm going to use my SSD hD yo boot windows some my computer isn't so slow. But the 509 video is awesome. The 509 no bearing wind down good carbon brushes and it sounded like a brand new 69 year old machine. It's missing original bag but cord is good handle small foam chunk out. The handle as you know we're shoddy. I could fit it but it's original. I'll try to upload to my you tube account this weekend. I'm also going to try to finish d80 so after tune up on heritage I can compare the two. I'll get my k meter and see amps for each vacuum. I have a g series hose that will fit d80 and heritage. I can do airflow through hose. My smashed box is still smashed so nozzle test not yet. Very nice vacuums again glad you posted the pics of classic 3 on your d80 will help utilize vacuum and not tearing up the motor. Les | ||

I just got one
Today I saw this on eBay and decided to jump on it. I am very happy I found this. I wasn’t sure I’d find one. Not bad at $25 free shipping.

Hey I put tradition axle and green wheels on d80. The pic I have 519 motor housing cover with wide wheels. I realized when using extender screws with wide wheels toe touch flexed left wheel in meeting stabilization. I put tradition axle with green wheels and wide wheels I'm using on all blue conversion. That there is only one setup that is the best for d80. The tradition axle wide front wheels and back the machine is level and lowering nozzle it's only set up the nozzle plate hits carpet everywhere. Only wide front balance is off from the back. Big back wheels small front you basically get front heavy lean like muscle cars. Extender screws flex not balance. It seals and it's level and wide tires gives great balance. This making it most efficient way | ||

Hey
I don't feaux it. I'm not spelled correctly but no suggestions on auto correct. My d80, is all green. My 519 all blue. I'm Frankenstein it but common sense. The 519 I just have parts for a vacuum so I bought blue it's a 519 tradition.
It's having parts making it functional. But wider axle does help in my opinion. Les | ||

Ben
I watched your videos again. I must say holy cow your vacuums are in awesome running condition. You can just hear metal humming on d80 fan. The heritage sounds kind of like a jet motor sucking in air. Those vacuums sound very solid. I'd hope mine may sound similar. My 2 traditions sound like that and both legend 2 sort of but the wider nozzle not as much air. Very nice. I also have magic finger sticker on I bought belt lifter NOS never opened and it's going on nozzle. I already attached front wheels back wheels are not on yet but very sweet video.

Lesinutah
Les,
When I made that first video of my D80, at the time, the motor sounded like as though either one or both the internal motor bearings were dry. I had them be replaced in 2016, so if you watch this video, it sounds less dry than before: (skip between 0:36 and 1:46 to watch cleaner in hose mode) ~Ben | ||

Hey
Uh I'd didn't sound dry. My d80 sounds dry on my video holy cow. The video is awesome I can't tell much of a difference. Do you have metal fan on d80. Do you have amodel on your grandparents heritage.
I'm about to post a bunch of pics of com vac and American Lincoln. I took it completely apart so you see every part. I have not analyzed any. I just have them saved I'm thinking heritage motor and single speed coil d89 bearing plate . I have pics. | ||

Les,
Yes, my D80 still has the metal fan. As to my grandparents' 1985 Heritage II, no, but it is the similar 11-blade gray Lexan fan. I saw all your Super-Sweep disassembly pictures and, I noticed the armature is exactly the same one used on the D80 (part number 114967), while the field coil was unique to your machine (part number 103977). Bearing plate is exactly the same, too. ~Ben | ||

Hey
I'm not sure who made Kirby's motors and coils. I know it switched between lamb and ge. I know switch was during d50 or d80 that is why I had issues w d80s before. I don't know but the coil looks similar to my early nineties 6 amp royal. Im thinking coils for royal and Kirby single speed made by same company any my guess is ametech lamb. Just a guess.

Les,
I forgot to say that this was the very first video I made of my small head Heritage II nozzle. It is being demo'ed on my grandparents' 1985 Heritage II. Filmed on September 18, 2014: ~Ben This post was last edited 01/16/2019 at 00:41 | ||
