Hi Folks, new to this forum.
I have dismantled the above hoover model because I want to get into the motor.
I cannot remove the plastic casing to get at the screws for the motor.
Anybody got any ideas?? Would the casing be glued?
Attached are a couple of pics from underneath, if they are any help

Welcome!

I see two screws holding the whole plastic motor housing to the metal body, right there. Look like phillips heads. I'd imagine there's at least two more you can probably get from the top. Not familiar with this model, just going by what I see.

Thanks Madman,
The motor is screwed to an aluminium piece, not the casing.
But as you said there are also two screws at the back that I can't get at that's why I was wondering if the plastic casing is easily removed :D

The aluminum piece you're talking about is like the whole body of the vacuum, yes? Those screws 'in the back,' do you mean the top? Why not give us a pic of the top?

Well, besides that, for lack of ability to describe it any better, just keep taking stuff off until you get it.

You need to purchase a Philips head screwdriver with an extra long shaft to reach the other two screws. This set on Amazon should suit your needs.

Hi Sensotronic,
I may have a screw driver that reaches but I would never get the screws back in, taking the plastic casing off is the only sensible way of getting at the screws

The only way of removing the motor from the plastic casing is to undo the four screws. Believe me, I have done it myself and this is how you do it according to the Hoover service manual. The motor is fixed to the metal casting using four screws. The two screws at the bottom can be undone using a screwdriver with a long shaft.

As Sensotronic says ..

 Hi Webs32 I’ve been dismantling Hoover juniors since the early 80s! I struggled to work out how to remove the motor for a few years and used to cut the 3 rd hidden screw you haven’t found its in front of the fan housing. But once I learned how to use the very long screwdriver it was easy. There’s even a cut out on the base edge of the white casing that the screw driver fits in. I’ve attached some pictures of a dirt searcher I did up. Sadly didn’t have one of the underneath with the motor out to show how the metal bit stays in but you can see it through the belt cover home with the motor removed. When you put it back pop the bottom two screws in the motor holes I sometimes wedge them with a bit of blu tack to stop them going straight through so I can line them up with the holes in the metal bit.

I hope that makes sense?

Richard

disassembling, assembling .

 1300 range.....fiddly blighters at the best of times!

Like Richard I have done many 1300 range juniors circa 1985-2015!!!

In comparison the goblin counterpart upright model 102 (late 60s) was a dream to work on; a rare beast now!!!

Regards, Walter.
