Bushing X9075

The Bushing (part# X9075) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the recovery and solution tank assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the sleeve bushing that gives a shaft or fastener a clean bearing surface inside the tank-assembly housing.

What the Bushing does

A bushing exists so that wear happens to a cheap replaceable sleeve instead of to the casting or moulding around it. It also keeps the shaft it carries concentric, which is what stops a small amount of play from turning into a wobble that chews the bore oval.

When to replace the Bushing (X9075)

Replace it when the shaft can be rocked in the bore, when the bushing has gone oval or picked up a ridge, or when it has spun in its housing. Noise that changes with load, and a shiny polished band on the shaft, both point at a bushing that has stopped doing its job.

Bushing X9075 — fitment and installation notes

Inspect the bore before pressing a new bushing in; if the housing is already worn, a new bushing will be loose from the first hour. Seat it square and to full depth rather than tapping one side, and check the shaft for scoring since a scored shaft eats a new bushing quickly. 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.
