$2.99
Genuine Tacony OEM #10 x 1 inch screw (part# X9098) used in the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S tank assembly. The specified length for the joints it secures.
The Screw #10 x 1″ (part# X9098) 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 specified #10 by one inch screw used at fastening points in the tank assembly.
What the Screw #10 x 1″ does
On a machine built largely from moulded plastic, screw length is what decides whether a joint holds or whether the boss splits. One inch gives full engagement in the bosses this screw was drawn for; a shorter substitute grips only the top threads and pulls out under vibration, while a longer one bottoms and jacks the joint apart while feeling tight in the hand.
When to replace the Screw #10 x 1″ (X9098)
Replace it when the drive recess is rounded, when the thread is stripped or has picked up plastic, or when corrosion has locked it in place. A screw that spins without drawing the joint tight has stripped its boss and needs the boss addressed, not a bigger screw.
Screw X9098 — fitment and installation notes
Drive it straight and start it by hand so the original thread is followed rather than a new one cut alongside it. Tighten to a firm seat only, and if the same screw keeps loosening, look for a cracked boss or a missing washer rather than adding 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.
