Hoover525:
Here are some sample pages from literature that I have for Blackstone model BA-520/620/720, models similar to what you have posted in your pictures. I could dig out more stuff if you want. Feel free to email me.

Clutch slip
Yes it impresses me too. I read somewhere that the 700s on had a different clutch set up based on the fact that they had an electric pump, hence less give from the clutch.
I guess this means gear boxes post 700 series are not compatible with their predecessors clutch wise. On another note, what were the intro years for the different models? I have heard the 500 started in '69, but what about the 600, 700, 800 , 900? | ||

Thanks for the technical info!
I have started buying seals and belts off eBay from a guy called All Fix Electrical. I just received part H013, the shaft seal just under the agitator cap. I also got a static pump pawl (part HA057) and a new belt for the mechanical pump.
Seeing you know a bit about parts, do you mind if I ask if you know what the part numbers are for the main seal on the metal drum under the wash bowl is. I can't really be sure from the research I've done. What I'd really love is access to the technical manual for the 600 series. I bet they were all scrapped years ago 😕 Where did you get the info on the 900 series you posted up earlier? I'm on the hunt for any info like this and any help would be greatly appreciated !! | ||

Hoover ads 600, 700, 800 900 series Has anyone got anything on the 600 to the elite 900 series? Remember in the mid 80s seeing cool laminated ad sheets depicting the internal build qualities of the 900 series... Also does anyone have much about the Meadowbank factory? | ||

Meadowbank factory
How cool would it have been to go in there before demolition. I bet there would have been heaps of miscellaneous parts scattered around, along with historical signs, stickers etc.
I don't live that far away from the site so I can go and see what it looks like these days; apparently it's all new units. Damn. Wonder when it was derelict ... probably not that long ago. What about technical journals? Maybe we could find some info there? I'm close to the State Library NSW so am able to go in ... actually, you can do it all online now anyway. I think mayfan 69 has some info at least in the 500 series. | ||

Apparently there was some book on Hoover Meadowbank factory... Think the library has it over there... Tried here in WA to the usual fruitless outcome It's a pity that a once thriving factory that made products that were in homes all around Australia is now shadows and dust | ||

thanks Baily
yep let's keep looking into this. Another option is to have the part used to manufacture a new replacement part.
here is the Hoover item from the State Library of NSW

Thanks Baily!!
Ta for all your helpful info. I'm impressed with your gearbox knowledge and agree, that static pump out with clutch at 100% slip is amazing. Surprised it's lasted so long.
Actually I don't think the 620 I've got had seen much use. The inside of the cabinet was almost spotless when I got it and now it's sprayed with transmission oil from spinning. Do you think I should check the bolts on the tranny for tightness? Also the pump has started to squeal and seize up. Am planning to take it apart to investigate/line it. Still have to get into town to look at that book on the Hoover factory. Will try to get in there today. Erik | ||
