Motor 120 VDC 1/4HP 3″ Dia. X9002

The Motor 120 VDC 1/4HP 3″ Dia. (part# X9002) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the brush assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the DC motor that drives the brushroll through the belt and pulley drive. It also fits the Tornado 98168 20″ Marathon 1200 carpet extractor (12 Gallon 115V), Series B, C, D and P.

What the Motor 120 VDC 1/4HP 3″ Dia. does

Voltage, power and physical diameter all have to match here, and each for a different reason. The 120 VDC rating has to suit the machine supply and its rectifier, the quarter horsepower is what the brush needs to keep agitating in loaded carpet without stalling, and the three inch diameter is what allows it to sit in the housing with the belt in line. A motor that satisfies two of those three does not fit the machine.

When to replace the Motor 120 VDC 1/4HP 3″ Dia. (X9002)

Replace it when it will not start, runs slow or stalls under normal brush load, draws excessive current, or has become noisy or hot. Before condemning it, check the belt, the brush for wrapped fibre, and the supply reaching the motor, since a dragging brush and a failing rectifier both imitate a tired motor.

Motor VDC HP X9002 — fitment and installation notes

Work with the machine unplugged and photograph the wiring before disconnecting anything. Fit the motor pulley true and aligned with the driven pulley, replace the belt while you are in there, and confirm the brush turns freely by hand before the first 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.
