Eureka / Sanitaire Belt Cap...
$7.99
Product details
On the Eureka and Sanitaire 5847 upright, part 71741A is the belt cap assembly, the cover that closes the belt drive off from the outside. It is exposed by the job it does, which is why it is one of the first pieces on the machine to take a knock.
Covers in that position absorb repeated small impacts, whether from a cleaning pass that catches a baseboard or from handling during a belt change. Once one is cracked or gone, the drive it was covering is open to thread, grit and whatever else the machine runs over, and the piece itself is loose enough to rattle or to drop off somewhere it will not be found.
This cap is a separate purchase from the belt it covers, and the symptom tells you which one to order: a roller that has quit turning points to the belt, while a loose, cracked or missing cover on the 5847 points to this assembly.
