All websites accessed state "no longer available" or "no longer made". I know vacuum is over 20 years old but it runs like a top otherwise...

Hoover Beater bar belt
Posted by rubyspider on Jul 05, 2008
I need help installing the beater bar belt
Hello,
I would advise you to ALWAYS to FIRST UNPLUG YOUR VACUUM before beginning any service procedure. Hoover U6437-900 / U6439-900 WindTunnel. All you need to do id to remove the bottom plate by removing either the screws, clips or levers and the bottom plate should come right off, and then you can get @ the belt – if not then the top cover will come off and then you can serv it from the top if needed. Then you can lift up the one end of the Hoover brushroll and then slide the new belt on to the pulley side of the brushroll and then use a belt puller or a screwdriver with a hook on the end and then pull the belt onto the motor pulley. Then track the belt in a straight line. So if you need further assistance, please feel free to contact your local vacuum cleaner dealer in your area or in the yellow pages, or contact the factory phone number or website to further assist you with your questions.

your floor adjustment spring is broken there is a plastic slider and clip if it is broken the height adj will not work you should get a new vacuum because this repair can cost as much as a new vac.also this is a common problem with the hoover brand I would get a sebo or an oreck they have a great warrentty and you will more than likly never buy a other vac.

they have a thermal shut off on the motor so if it gets too hot it shuts down
can take up o 30 min to reset check all filters make sure nothing is blocking

The aforementioned solutions probably never even attempted this fix on this model. The handle does NOT need to come off. but the 5 screws on the front housing DO: 2 above the light and 3 below it. Then to get the colored housing off you need to access 2 screws on the underside that are beneath the agitator roller. To do that, obviously the 4 screws holding the bottom plate need to come off too. Here's a link to a schematic that might help as you attempt to do this, (assuming that you still do!) http://www.elkypro.com/hoops2005/vacuum_parts/hoover/U5461-900.html
Once you have the main body housing cover off, then you can access the 2 screws atop of each trunnion cover that holds the motor assembly cover halves together. If you've made it this far, then gently pry apart the motor halves keeping even as yo do. Now you can see all the wiring necessary to cut and splice. Happy cord replacing! As for me, I am headed for the store, as I am not so sure I can remember how to get the darn thing put back together. But it was fun taking it apart!
