Eureka 4870A Suction Motor ...

Product details
This is a complete suction motor assembly built for the Eureka 4870A vacuum, cataloged by Eureka as motor 62431-1 and listed as a direct supersession for the earlier 61256-1 and 62430 motor numbers, meaning a machine or parts list showing any of those three numbers points to this same motor. The motor is the component that spins the fan creating the vacuum's airflow, so it is the single part most responsible for how strong the machine's pickup feels at the nozzle.
Because this is sold as a complete assembly rather than individual bearings or brushes, replacing it swaps the armature, fan, and motor housing together as one balanced unit. That is generally the more reliable repair path once a motor has failed outright, since a full assembly avoids the fitting and balancing issues that can come from mixing a used housing with new internal parts.
Signs that point to the motor rather than a clog or a worn belt include suction that stays weak even with a fresh bag and clean filters, a burning smell, a motor that runs but sounds like it is grinding or straining, or a motor that no longer spins at all when the switch is on. Fitment here is verified to the Eureka 4870A, so if the number on your machine's motor is one you do not immediately recognize, check it against 62431-1, 61256-1, or 62430 before ordering rather than going by the vacuum's model name.
