Screw 10-32 x 7/8″ X9135
$2.99
Genuine Tacony OEM 10-32 x 7/8 inch screw (part# X9135) used in the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S. A machine thread, so it belongs in a tapped hole or a nut, not a plastic boss.
The Screw 10-32 x 7/8″ (part# X9135) 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 10-32 machine screw of 7/8 inch length used at fastening points on the machine.
What the Screw 10-32 x 7/8″ does
The 10-32 thread is a fine machine thread, which is what you want where a screw goes into metal or takes a nut and has to hold torque without loosening. Its fine pitch gives more thread engagement per inch than a coarse thread of the same diameter, so it resists vibration well, and it is also why it strips easily if it is ever started crooked.
When to replace the Screw 10-32 x 7/8″ (X9135)
Replace it when the drive is rounded, the thread is damaged or galled, or corrosion has locked it. Also replace rather than reuse any screw that had to be driven out, since the thread has almost certainly been dragged.
Screw X9135 — fitment and installation notes
Start it by hand and feel it pick up the existing thread before reaching for a driver, because a fine thread cross-threads readily. Do not substitute a coarse 10-24 screw of the same length; it will feel like it is tightening while it destroys the tapped hole. 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.
