Screwed that back in
It was now time for a drink
No, not really, it was time to drop the cable exit grommit in boiling water for 10 minutes
Which softens it up enough to slip into it's hole a treat
The rear wheels can go back together now and be fitted
Time for the brushroll now! I usually re-paint them, but the weather was really shitty when I was doing this, and it wasn't horrifically bad, still loads of original paint left, so I did not paint it. Instead I reassembled it with nice new brushroll bearings
Slide the genuine and as new brush strips in
Pop one bearings carrier in, and drop the wobble washer in
Then a nice new bearing, and push the axle up and through

I cleaned up and fitted the old bearing plastic caps, it seemed silly not to, for reasons I will elaborate on at the end
Then screw the correct sided end cap on, then do the same on the other side and voila!
Belt guard back in now
Then the brushroll can be fitted, with a nice new genuine old stock belt!
Furniture guard on
Time for some electricity now. The various rubber bits are slid onto the cable
Then the cable is fitted and clamped down
The wiring cover is screwed on and this part is fully complete!
Bar gluing the straightened out Hoover Roundel on

Whilst that dried and I had the glue out, I glued the foam back into the bag fill tube
There we go!
Handle release pedal cover back onto the bracket
Then screwed back into place
Cable hooked into place with a nice bit of slack
Lower handle rubber spacer fitted
The bag hook is fitted to the upper handle
Then I cut the cable back to a nice clean end and re-stripped it and wired the plug
With the handle on, the cable can be wrapped nicely up

Clip is screwed back onto the belt cover
Beautiful!
Time to put the bag fill tube onto the bellows
Then clamp the back back onto the bellows, with the circlip fitted
And with that, we are done! This is the rubbish pile, consisting of 1 1/2 brushroll bearings and the supressor.
And this is the finished machine after a few coats of wax
So, what new parts has this seen? 2 brushroll bearings, a new belt and a new (sebo hepaflo) bag! That's IT, everything else just cleaned up a treat! Underneath the battered old thing that arrived to me, was an utterly mint Hoover Junior!

But what to do with it. Sure, I could have put it in Ebay, and maybe made a small fortune, maybe it would have sold for £9.99 with one bid. Who knows, I don't like the gamble really. I could keep it, but with laminate flooring, it wouldn't be the best, plus I don't really want a Hoover Junior.
I had the perfect place for it. The guy who runs the joint was off on a "work outing" to China at the time, so I posted it to the real boss of the place, and she assembled it, stuck a bow on it and surprised Stuart when he got back. The perfect place for the most Perfect Hoover Junior I have ever seen, in a bloody museum! They won't come along every day in this condition, but their very common in used condition, which I would be happier with TBH, I can use it then and not worry about it!
Thanks for reading.
