This is for sale locally , wondered how old is it, would it appear to be problematic to get it running well again if it has just normal wear on it , and how might one fix that break in the ‘pot metal’(?) bar?
Thx | ||

JB Weld will fix it up. It's a compound adhesive you mix together and apply to the joint. For the brushroll, you have to re-thread the bristles manually (I still don't know how that's done) and then for the motor comes just the general maintenance and cleanup for a 100 year old motor and wiring.

Hey 
Ben posted someone in Illinois or somewhere in great lakes area he um brain fart holy cow rebristles the brush. I was going to get it done but I found a oem replacement.
It's not 100 years old it's in it's early to mid 90s. You never know vacuums have feelings too. Phaeton on here has done a number of refurbishing old vacuums. Les | ||

sorry but this hoover is a early coffee can style hoover from at least 100 years Hoover model 105 or 750 so very early vacuum not the 90s at all its from the 1900 at most the Hoover beat as it sweep as it cleans reliable as can be .New bristle in the rolelr new grease on the bearing and new carbon brush and belt and bag and youd have a one heck of a good cleaner.

On second look if it has a height adjustment on the right side (from the back) it's a 541, if the height adjustment is by unscrewing the thumbscrew on the rear wheels and moving them up or down it's a 105.
102 was like the 105 except it had a fulcrum that held the handle in place, since this doesn't have the fulcrum that rules out a 102. Also the motor is very easy to service, just make sure to put the motor head casting back the same way it came off because if you turn it 180 degrees it can cause the armature to bind. | ||
