I had a broken brush for an electic weed eater. I could not replace just the brush. I would have been required to purchase the whole electric motor. I chose to get rid of it, it just was not worth it. I suppose you may try to find a parts one, good luck. Or maybe see if you can get access to a carbon brush kit like the ones used for industrial maintenance. That may be your best shot, depending on who you know. Otherwise you will probably have to replace it. Sorry.

SOURCE: Where can I find brushes

True to an extent but not just any brushes, just be sure to find brushes with the same flex wiring connection and then shave away. You'll need to shave them into the original shape for the ends and length as well as the lateral dimensions, so the springs will fit right.

I had to do this for a Shop Vac, took a few weeks to locate some brushes that would work right with the springs and the wire connection once shaved.

The motor unit was all the OEM would sell, and for the price I could get a new unit. :) Don't you just love a disposable design ethic?

Problem is my hardly used Toro Blower Vac is getting no Power

If it has not run for awhile, check the brushes. they might need to be replaced. The plug is usually moulded right on power cord. That might have to be replaced because if there is a problem with a broken or disconnected wire right at plug there is no way to see it. Hope this helps.

Plugged it in and it won't run but it was running fine when I put it away two weeks ago.

Check the plug for loose wire or at blower where wire it enters to make sure the wire was not pulled and disconnected inside. If after looking and it is not a wire, check the brushes on the motor. They could be worn out or not making a good contact. Blow out brush housing and re-install brush sometimes this works. That's about all I can think of unless there is a safety switch then check that. Good luck.

Need carbon brush replacments

google for sources. In the 80's i was employed by a co that probuced brushes according to specs. We received them in bags, or envelopes, etc. If you cannot find them through the orig. mfgr., send the remaining brush or the holder, with as much of the brush as is remaining for proper dim. estimate and brush composition. some brushes have the composition of dry charcoal. while some such as "EGO" can substitute for a very soft pencil.
