$2.99
Genuine Tacony OEM 10-32 x 1/2 inch screw (part# 71651A) used in the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S brush assembly. A fine machine thread for a joint that lives in the wet, dirty end of the machine.
The Screw 10-32 x 1/2″ (part# 71651A) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the brush assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the specified 10-32 machine screw of 1/2 inch length used at brush assembly fastening points.
What the Screw 10-32 x 1/2″ does
Fasteners in the brush assembly get the worst of the machine. They sit in the path of soil, fibre and solution, they take constant vibration from a spinning brushroll, and they are usually the ones somebody has to get out in a hurry at a customer site. A fine 10-32 thread holds well against that vibration, and keeping the correct length means the screw does not intrude where the brush needs clearance.
When to replace the Screw 10-32 x 1/2″ (71651A)
Replace it when the drive recess is chewed, when the thread is galled or stripped, or when corrosion has taken hold, which happens faster here than anywhere else on the machine. Any screw that needed persuading to come out should not go back in.
Screw 71651A — fitment and installation notes
Clean the threads in both the screw and its hole before reassembly, since packed fibre and dried chemistry are what make the next removal a drilling job. Start it by hand so the fine thread picks up cleanly, and check the brush turns freely by hand before the machine is run. Tacony builds the Tornado Marathon SE 900 and the Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S on a single machine platform, so this component carries across both brands rather than belonging to either one. It is a shared Tacony component and may fit additional models beyond those listed — call us and we will confirm against your serial number.
