Aaron,
Keep that 13" nozzle... it is super rare for your machine! I noticed the original labels were replaced, too. The original labels would have said "Kirby" (top) and "Heritage" (bottom). ~Ben

The only stickers available for the Heritage series are the ones you have. The only way to get one now is to find one NOS on ebay or somewhere. I see a lot of the small nozzles on regular vacuums, but rarely have seen the 2HD-13 Model power plant. Blaze |

I'm no expert but a PDF imagine saved printed on a red, burgundy, black etc could print a decal. I'm no expert but it's not hard to find an imagine.
I'm not saying I've ever used green sticky paper and printed a logo onto it. If you print a 4x6 matte pic were talking.50 and you apply adhesive to back is another option. It's not oem Kirby. In case you are interested in this. Les |

You could go to a Kirby store and see if they would sell/swap you a complete rectangular belt lifter handle, complete with stickers, from a for-parts Heritage with a 16" nozzle.
The lower sticker would be untouched through this, but, as you know, the narrow aluminum decal above would have to come off to get at the screw. Careful surgery with a thin razor can remove it without damaging it, though. |

The tradition, heritage and my super sweep have screw issues. They machine tighten screws and every tear down a screw gives. If you come across one use dremmel to make deeper grooves in the screw. If not a flat head screw they sale vice grips I used many times including heritage 2 13, super sweep and tradition to pull out screws. If it's accessible at all the vice grips get them.
Bill also has 4 row brush roll in case you didn't know. Les |

its a square shaped head. they were invented in Canada there more popular here but they can be bough in the us to just harder to find. people who build homes prefer them over phillps screws because they are much harder to strip. |
