Hoover Turbopower U2332 Jan 1986 - Holiday find!

[MrIan]

If the axles are nuts and bolts that'll be why the handle won't go all the way down. Turbopower rear axles have a very thin head to fit into the slot in the chassis so they are flat, obviously circlips and washers on the wheel side. The same problem occurs when the wheel centres are badly worn and the axle moves in and jams the trunion / bag housing.
