Bolt 1/4-20 x 1″ X8282
$2.99
Genuine Tacony OEM 1/4-20 x 1 inch bolt (part# X8282) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S chassis. One inch of length puts the shank, not the thread, where the load is.
The Bolt 1/4-20 x 1″ (part# X8282) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the chassis assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the specified 1/4-20 bolt at one inch length, used at load-carrying chassis joints. It also fits the Tornado 98168 20″ Marathon 1200 carpet extractor (12 Gallon 115V), all series (B, C, D, E, F and P).
What the Bolt 1/4-20 x 1″ does
Length in a bolt is about where the thread ends. The unthreaded shank is stronger and smoother than the threaded section, so a bolt sized correctly puts plain shank through the parts that move against each other and leaves only enough thread to take the nut. Substitute a fully threaded fastener or a different length and the joint ends up loaded on the thread, which wears the hole and fatigues the bolt.
When to replace the Bolt 1/4-20 x 1″ (X8282)
Replace it when the thread is damaged or stretched, when the shank is scored or bent, or when the head is rounded or has been distorted by an impact driver. Any bolt from a joint that has been loose long enough to wear its hole should be replaced along with the hardware around it.
Bolt X8282 — fitment and installation notes
Fit it with the specified washers and locking hardware and tighten evenly with the rest of the joint rather than one fastener at a time. If the bolt turns freely in the hole after the nut is snug, the joint is worn and needs looking at, not more torque. 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.
