Roller Brush Assembly 33574

The Roller Brush Assembly (part# 33574) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement agitator for the Tornado CK 14/1 brush base. Listed by Tacony as the Pinned Brush Roll Assembly, it is the spinning roller that grooms the carpet: two spiralled rows of stiff pinned bristles rake through the pile to break loose embedded grit while the airflow lifts it clear of the fibres.

Because the brush roll is in constant contact with the floor, it is one of the fastest-wearing parts on the machine. The bristles gradually shorten until they no longer reach past the base plate — at which point the vacuum still runs but stops actually deep-cleaning. Wound-on hair and carpet thread also chew at the end bearings and can bog down the belt. Swapping in a fresh 33574 restores full bristle height, a true-running tube, and smooth bearings in one part.

Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tornado equipment since 1956 and stocks genuine Tacony parts, so this roller matches the original length, bristle pattern, and bearing fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Roller Brush Assembly (part# 33574) do?

The Roller Brush Assembly (part# 33574) is the pinned agitator that spins inside the brush base. Its two staggered rows of stiff bristles dig into carpet pile to loosen embedded grit and lift the nap so the airflow can carry the debris away — it is the part that does the actual carpet grooming on the CK 14/1.

How do I know my 33574 brush roll is worn out?

Lay a straightedge or a card across the bristles: if they no longer reach past the base plate, the roller has worn down and will stop deep-cleaning. Other signs are flattened or missing bristle tufts, a bent tube that thumps as it turns, seized end bearings, and hair or thread wound so tightly it stalls the belt.

Does the 33574 ship complete with bearings and end caps?

Yes. The Pinned Brush Roll Assembly is supplied as a complete unit with the bristle strips, the metal roller tube, and the end bearings/caps already fitted, so it drops straight into the brush base without transferring old hardware.

Which machines use the 33574, and how do I order it?

The 33574 Roller Brush Assembly fits the Tornado CK 14/1 Pro (98147), the CK 14/1 BSE (98145), and the original CK 14/1 (97182). Add it to your cart on this page or call 763-535-0770 — our team at 5415 West Broadway, Crystal, MN 55428 has serviced Tornado equipment since 1956.
