need to be replased. a convertbile bearing will work but you need to drill out the rivets and use the old housing. |

What did you use to clean off that painted base? I'm always so afraid of doing much to those main bodies; I ruined a 115 and almost ruined a 61 when I got them wet. The paint was never quite the same. ~F |

Chris I would say that you did a fantastic job on that machine. I bet the lady was shocked when she came to get it. How often these days does one get that type of service?? |

I hope she tells all her friends what you did, that is a super job and service you did for her. When Thurman's was in business in Ft. Pierce, you might have gotten a similar deal. The 90 something year old Mr. Mc Nee here, only sells and services new junk. He's a holdover from the past here too, but.......

Do the UK models have larger motors? My 28 is rated at 300w, and when plugged into a wattmeter, indeed reads about 300w on startup. Just curious! |

Wonderful. Looks fabulous with those carefully chosen replacement parts. The owner is one lucky lady! When and if i reach the age of this machine, how wonderful it would be to be as easily and thoroughly rejuvenated! |

Does anyone know where one can obtain the special tip that goes on the grease gun to grease the bearings? I would like to be able to grease the bearings on my Convertibles and that tool would make it so much easier. Thanks in advance. Chad Cunningham |

for all the kind words. the hoover grease nozzle tip is N.L.A. from hoover. but I would think you could take a grease gun and foce grease in the bearing if you dont have a nozzle tip. thanks Chris |

Do not grease the top sleeve bearing. they do not need lube. but you can use some Q-tips, with some motor oil to cleen the bearing if needed. Chris |
