Holy $hiz
That's the coolest royal I've ever seen.
The Henry company is where I got my bearing plate and I believe it was their last ones. They dropped off eBay and I got all my royal parts from them. The older royals are called oilers. The bearing plate has the bearings built into the bearing plate where the oil port goes I'm also pretty sure there is felt or something In it that absorbs the oil. The bottom motor housing bearing is attached to the other oil port. I believe the back is open and a wavy washer sits on the bottom. The bearing plate port is riveted on. I'm attaching the bearing plate and oil port seperate. You get small screws to reinstall or rivets if you know how. The bottom bearings are open so you don't have to replace them. Be careful of the spacers that are in the motor housing off the bearing plate and field. They have spacers on a couple of the screws. If you lose them or don't install it would be bad. https://www.ebay.com/itm/274339007341... https://www.ebay.com/itm/274340224314... The brush roll www.ezvacuum.com/royal-di... The royal belts I found on eBay and are knurled Kirby belts. Kirby uprights/eureka power nozzle/royal uprights all take the exact same belt. I'm adding a link to the Kirby non knurled belts which is what I use on my royals they work well. https://www.ebay.com/itm/392826898615... I hope this helps. Les | ||

Manuals
Your not going to find.
Royal got bought out by TTI. I called Stark vacuum in Oregon or Washington and they threw everything away late nineties. Stark made a private label royal. I actually called and talked to the owner of Henry vacs and the same scenario as stark happened to them. If Henry vacuum is open they have some royal parts. The carbon brushes are the same as Kirby's 505-cr1 carbon brushes. Les | ||

Henry vacuum company
They have 3 stores still open. One is closing the end of September. If you call the store Dave I believe is the owner of Steve who did online sales (Sunday and Monday are his days off). If you ask if they have a used in good shape older brush roll Is your best bet. I bought one for $15 or so and it was in real good shape.

Thank you for checking Les - really appreciate it. I did try the Henry Company already and they didn't have either the correct brushroll or the front oiler bearing. I'll keep digging and see if I can find a part number for the front bearing. Appreciate the help once again. | ||

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-... Is the rear bearing and plate. Its called rear bearing because it's behind the fan. You take your bearing plate drill out the three rivets. You measure the height of the lip of the plate of the part your putting in maybe 1/8-1/4 inch. Then measure depth of bearing plate which is maybe 1/4". The total of those heights mine would be 3/8-1/2. Get 3 metal screws with a flat bottom. The other option is soak the bearing plate in water for about a day. If you have an air compressor blow either through the oiler port or inside of bearing plate where there is a small opening. This will clean the bearings. Let it dry. Then in the oiler port add 5 drops of 3 in 1 oil. Then put bearing plate on the the armature but don't install it. The reason you put it on is to spin armature in both directions. Add 3-5 drops until it spins really good. The bearing plate bearing has the bearings and felt to absorb the oil. There is a way to rebristle your brush roll. Get horse hair. You would cut the old bristles away. If your bristle desired length is 3/4"" cut horse hair into 1.5". You fold the horse hair in half and install in the bristle channel. The old bristles probably had staples you can loop it through those and push staple back down to hold bristles in place. You now have instructions on how to completely restore your vacuum. Your welcome in advance Les | ||
