Well
Okay
The bearings on the brush roll go out. That makes the brush roll stop spinning. If the brush roll stops and the belt in the grooves would slip. It would slip or possibly cut the belt. It doesn't matter if the belt has grooves. If you have a geared belt and bearings go out on the brush roll it would slip. If you got it wet it would slip too. If you have say a wagon. If the wheels stop spinning what happens. Les | ||

les
youve clearly never owned a convertible. when bearings seize on a convertible, belts break, they dont slip off. ive serviced dozens of these machines.
the way a convertible brushroll is, its impossible for the belt to slip off if its the right size. only worn out belts or too big of belts might do this.

Uh
I have a Hoover 913 that pre dates the convertible. Its bearings were shot. It didn't snap the belt it came with. It left black marks in the center.
I did install a new correct belt and it snapped. I'm not saying you are wrong but the belt slips or stops moving first. It doesn't always break but they slip or stop before they break. I'm not saying your wrong at all. My Hoover has went through 3 belts. The original cracked and I chuckled it. The second bearings gone snapped and its current belt and it runs great. My sanitaire I think I went through 5 belts in two days. I replaced the brush roll, fan bearings, and correct belts. I snapped two more pretty quick. I've learned height adjustment while turned off is key to my sanitaire. I know Hoover all metal snaps easily. There's many reasons it could be I gave a few. I didn't think of your idea until you posted it. I'm throwing out ideas it could be. Trying to help him out. New correct belts on the machines and bearings spinning freely are key. If anything is off the belts snap. Les | ||

Before you go putting belts in, just spin the brushroll by hand while it's in the machine. If it turns freely, you're fine, if it's stiff, either oil the bearings or replace them. The old ones used a retaining clip whereas the new ones do not require it. | ||

Hi Derek,
You're up against the Marketing Depts. Sharp practice rules. They want you to buy a new vac for the want of a replacement belt. They change the width and length for every belt, on every device they ever manufactured. Belt lengths are never publicised. Part Numbers are rewritten for the same item. Model Nos. and Names differ by Country. 'Genuine' means genuine spare. Not genuine 'Hoover'. And so the game continues... I've just scrolled through 115 pages of Hoover Model Numbers for you, at Ransom Spares. Still not reached the end! (apt name - Ransom). BTW: VAX don't issue spares at all for some new carpet-washers. Not even belts. This was supposed to have been outlawed practice, but they sidestep this by replacing the whole machine under warranty, because there are no spares. It can never be repaired. Then they discontinue the entire model as soon as regulations allow, and never use the same design elements again. Way to go VAX! -------- You can call Hoover Spares direct: "If you cannot find the part you are looking for or wish to speak to our spares team directly, please call 0333 0062961" -------- Good luck. | ||

Idea
I had a belt on my old ram charger that got cut. It was too tight or too loose I don't remember. I got a shoelace wrapped it where the belt went made is nice and tight. I took the shoelace into parts store said I need a water belt as long as this shoelace. He tried to ask more questions. I said I just want the belt that is that long. It worked perfectly for it.
I have alot of belts slot. I'll either tonight or tommorow put them on and see what size of the belt. Before I finish my post I'm pretty sure the belt Mr. Hemb mentioned is the correct belt. Les | ||
