I'm curious about Hoover's power drive vacuums. I've always wondered how their special wheels work by pushing and pulling very easily. When I took apart my dirt finder self propelled yesterday, I found out it's controlled by a cable from the handle to the motor housing. But man they're a bit difficult to disassemble and reassemble but very well built vacuums.

But, Gabriele,
yes, they are big, powerful vacuums. I have and enjoy several of them. Of course, you're never supposed to pick up these cleaners by the handles. There is a "carry handle" on all of them. Even our beloved Convertibles have the handle bail. One reason handles would weaken and/or snap by the divingboard (bag support)_ was because owners didn't read their manual.
I might even use a power propelled Concept later today. | ||

So a couple of weeks ago, I finally got my Hoover self propelled dirt finder all completely cleaned up and replaced the original 7 bladed fan with a NOS 20 bladed fan for better performance. But while I was taking apart the old control cable it was worn out after 24 years of usage and finally snapped off and the sleeve had a few broken pieces due to age. So I luckily I found a NOS Hoover control cable and sleeve for this model . It arrived yesterday and now I'm trying to figure out how to correctly place the cable with the self propelled controller. It supposed to move a lot more and easy too.
