Also otn going into the landfill anytime soon nis a comoact 1.5 gallon shopvac. Which greaTky outperformed my buckethead vaccuum. Until recently.
It had started getting loud, and i found a motor mount broken, and a dry bronze bushing surrounded by dry felt.
JB WELD onto cleaned deep sharp mechanical tooth adjacent to break, and on the side which did not, too.
I removed some safety/lazy engineering manufacturing inspired restriction to flow on both intake, and exhaust.
Oiled the bushing and felt, reassembked, and
It now works better than ever.
Quiet and powerful.
