You did a good job restoring this one. I’m shocked your vacuum store had a motor mount for these. The motor mounts always break on these elites. If they used longer screws, chances are the motor mounts would probably last. You did get the date code right. Believe it or not, Hoover never really changed their extension wands after the elite. They used the same wand on the windtunnels as well. I own a Futura, which is simply a red version of the dimension. It’s probably one of the best vacuums I’ve ever used. To be honest no matter what bag you use in these, there will always be some dust built up since the motor blows the dirt into the bag. The tool suction is not that bad. Definitely better than the suction on a concept or should I say the Powermax self propelled. The build quality on these are actually good, and there are still so many of these that are still working. I’m still pissed off Hoover decided to stop making a lot of the parts for these. Like good luck finding a new old stock fan for these on eBay. The carbon brushes are also hard to find as well. I hope the same size of the carbon brush is still being made.
@@eviecardinal Many thanks! Yeah, you would think one could still source parts for these because of all the years the machine was in production. It is indeed beloved by a lot of folks.
