@twocvbloke i am letting it soak on 3 in 1 overnight so lets see if that helps...

They had smashed a piece out of the top of the fan housing and had 'chiseled' away some commutator segments. As a new fan housing was expensive, I bolted a small piece of fibreglass sheet over the break and fibreglassed the back of it. After fitting a new armature the cleaner worked well once again. I have given my Dyson DC01 away as it was too bulky & heavy to use and gone back to Hoover Juniors. They do seem to clean the carpet better than the Dyson despite their small motors.

I used to have a U1104 from 1985 and my gran had an earlier one from 1982. Unlike the U1036, the U1104 has a plastic fan housing. Back in 1988, she had some workmen do some jobs in her house. They took the liberty of sweeping up all the rubbish with the U1104. After this she kept complaining that it was blowing back what it picked up. Nothing looked a miss until one day it started smelling of burn. I stripped it down and found pieces of tiles in the motor.

@twocvbloke Thanks for that, I will have to ask around for a front. I have lubricated the bearings and got the motor back together now. It runs cool and quiet. The motor looks like a later one from a U1104. The armature is the later version with 3M 'Scotchcast' insulation and a smaller diameter commutator.

I think the only way you can get a replacement belt cover is off another Junior, they're not easy to find new these days unless you trawl through vac repair shops asking if they have them... :)

@twocvbloke I have bought a similar U1036 off Ebay. It has a broken painted over headlamp front. It has been reconditioned at some point and resprayed white from the original mustard colour. Although it worked, the machine was filthy and I stripped it down. Just as well as the motor was clogged up with fluff and some stands of the armature windings have had their enamel scraped off. However there is non shorting or broken and I gave it a coat of insulating varnish. Need a non headlamp front now

how do you remove the front bearing from the armature of the motor, it seems fixed on?

@MrBilbo44uk
It should just pull off, the bearing and the armature can end up rusting together, so may take some force to free it, just make sure to pull off all the washers and spacers before trying to separate the two... :)
