The brush strips for the 300 and 700 are
300 long 82344 short 82345 700 long 8639 or 8955 depending on the series short 8640 or 8956 depending on the series The brush roll that you are holding if it is from a Hoover is a much later Hoover that either the 300 or the 700. Those would be metal and have beater bars and replaceable brush strips. The 300 would have the same agitator (brush roll) as the 305. The Agitator number would be 300 42727 700 40046 or 41719 depending on the series | ||

Thank you for the information. Is there a way that I can retrofit it with another kind of brushroll just incase I cannot source the original parts? The original beater bars seem hard to find and I can't really use,the one I have right now as the bearings are worn. | ||

Here is what the agitator looks like in my Hoover 305
The agitators do show up on ebay every so often By the way if you want nylon brush strips in the 300 the numbers are long 42344 short 42345

I apreciate that. I will keep looking out for them. I might put an ad on here since there is a supermarket. Just incase I wanted to fix my old beater bar for the 300, would you know what the right bearings are to replace them? Thanks for all the helpful info! | ||

I gave an entire tote full of vintage brush rolls to Vacuumland member "chicago mike" this past September. I'm absolutely sure there are brush rolls in that tote for your machine. Contact him and ask about them. He will sell them I'm sure.
The brush roll in your pictures is an aftermarket brush without beaters and is not an acceptable replacement for the original. | ||
