PN1 used a brushroll without the thread cutters at each end
PN2 used a brushroll that had small thread cutters at each end so they would fit inside the bearing plates, they offered 2 different brush rolls a standard 2 row brush (part # 41920) and a Long Life three row brush (part # 41921) PN4 used a brushroll that had larger thread cutters at each end because the bearing plates didn't have the cowling around the brush, they offered three different brush rolls the standard 2 row brush (part # 42071) brush roll commercial (3 wire) (part # 42074) and 2 row - 4 mil Soft bristle brush (part # 42067) You can fit a PN2 brush in a PN1 but it will drag it down stop the unit. |

Thread cutters are those metal guards at the ends of the brush roll, they are there to cut the thread that is picked up before it gets tangled in the bearings.
As to the plastic wands, do you mean the fatter electric wands that replaced the steel wands for the powernozzle? It was sometime around 1993 when they came out with the Epic 6500 and the Renaissance. My Epic 6000 SR still came with steel wands. |

I was recently told that it one can trim down a PN-4 brush roll and use it in a PN-1, so the bristles don't bog down the motor. Has anyone tried this? If so, how did it work? I have been unable to find PN-1 brush rolls. |

PN-1 brush rolls are readily available—and not terribly expensive—on eBay. I just bought one about a month ago for around $11, including shipping. When I opened up my PN-1 to install it, I found I had a PN-2 brush roll inside. It had the thread cutter discs at each end. I can't believe the difference in performance with the proper brush roll in place.
