Kirby Handle Fork Assembly ...

Product details
Kirby finished the Tradition 3CB in blue, and this handle fork assembly, part 175079G, is the matching replacement. It is the structural piece tying the handle to the body of the machine.
On a vacuum of this age the fork has spent decades absorbing every load the user puts into it, plus the shock of being tipped over, carried by the handle and hauled up stairs. The plastic hardens, cracks work outward from the pivot and the mounting points, and the handle starts to move independently of the body. Once that play is there, steering feels vague and the crack only spreads.
A complete assembly is the proper repair rather than a patch, and the blue finish keeps a tidy Tradition looking original. Check your model plate reads 3CB before ordering, since Kirby's forks are specific to the machine and the color.
