I picked up a blue dam power drive about a week ago. It came with everything! Even the manual. I would rate the cosmetics as 8.5/10. Lucky thrift shop find. Is there any maintence required on these vacs? Does the power drive require lubricating? How about the motor? Works great, however, not as quiet as a convertible. Does anyone have advise for me?

Great. Weren't you just saying you couldn't find one anywhere or found one missing its bottom plate. LOL | ||

Indeed Pete I was. I now have the bottom plate for the first one I got about a month ago (again, courtesy of a junk store that sells vacuum bits and bobs). I guess things show up sometimes! Tom, what kind of grease should I use on the agitator bearings. I've asked at local vac shops, but they seem to harbour this piece of information like a secret formula! I understand though, it is their livelyhood!! Guy | ||

My Powerdrive DAMs
Hello, I have a couple of Hoover DAMs mod. U 6033, one in white/orange, the other in white/light blue. Both work fine and have great suction, both have new brushrolls, which I suppose have been replaced very little before I found them, because they looked like new, and turn very smoothly. But the machines are VERY noisy, probably the noisiest machines in my collection and I think it is because of the transmission feature, because all of my standard/deluxe DAMs, independently from the brushroll's bearings status are much smoother and quieter (if a DAM could ever be defined quiet...). I suspect that these powerdrives were quite noisy even when they were new. However I wish I could do something to grease the transmissions, but I don't know exactly how to open them and put them back together without damage. If anyone had some pictures of them doing this thing, they'd be much appreciated. Take care you all! tommy
