Pin X9030
$3.99
Genuine Tacony OEM pin (part# X9030) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S. The pivot that a moving joint in the brush assembly turns on.
The Pin (part# X9030) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the brush assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the pin that forms the pivot in a moving joint of the brush assembly.
What the Pin does
A pivot pin is a bearing surface that gets no lubrication and no attention. It carries the load of the joint every time the mechanism moves, in an environment full of grit and solution, and it wears slowly and evenly until suddenly there is play in the linkage. Because the wear is on the pin and in the hole at the same time, replacing the pin alone in a badly worn joint restores less than people expect.
When to replace the Pin (X9030)
Replace it when it is worn, grooved, or bent, when it has become a loose fit in its hole, or when its retaining ring groove is damaged. Play felt at the pedal or the linkage that disappears when the joint is squeezed together is telling you the pin and its hole have both worn.
Pin X9030 — fitment and installation notes
Inspect the hole as well as the pin, since a new pin in an ovalled hole will be loose again quickly. Fit a new retaining ring rather than reusing the old one, and cycle the mechanism through its full travel to check for binding before the machine goes back into service. 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.
