I sent my message asking about them Turns out, he is sold out. So the search continues. Is there a model number I can search for? I checked with the serial/part numbers on the strips and came up empty handed. Is there another model or type that will fit, maybe with some slight filing or modification? | ||

What "Run" is your sweeper? The 700 had different brushrolls throughout the run.
First run cleaners used 8639 (long) and 8640 (Short). Second Series used 8955 (long) and 8956 (Short). Alternate first series style was 86187 (long) and 86188 (short). Remove the old brush inserts, the number may be stamped inside. | ||

You do know that you can take the brush strips out and turn them around for a little longer wear, unless they're past that point.
To get the brush strip out take a screwdriver just press the end by the belt pulley down and under the belt pulley and the other end should just pop up out of the agitator. The brush strip should have arrows on it marked new and used. | ||

In the manual it tells you that if you put a card across the rug plate and the bristles don't at least touch the card it's time to turn them around or replace them. That's on the agitators that don't have an adjustment for the agitator.
On models that have an adjustment at each end of the brushroll i.e. 102, 103, 105, 541 you just move the adjustment to the next hole in the tab to lower the brushroll to the floor and take up the wear. | ||

Here's the two pages from the 700 owners manual that cover the belt and brush strips. According to my price list those brush strips were at a nominal cost of 50 cents for the long strip and 45 cents for the short strip.

Don't think that would be too big of a problem. Would have to guide me through the international shipping process but I'll it can't be too bad. Which are you wanting? I have 86187 and 86188 | ||

I have removed them and taken pictures [can you tell from them]one of them has a number on it . these brush strips are virtually impossible to get over here in the Uk so getting some new ones would be fantastic .Kind regards

You tell me a price because I couldn't be more clueless. And I will get into checking on how to get them there. Hopefully someone else can chime in if they've ever done it | ||
