Carpet Pro FB-MMPW Upright ...

Product details
At the point where the handle pivots against the nozzle housing on these commercial uprights, a small sleeve takes the wear so the housing itself does not have to. B123-1300 is that sleeve, listed for the Carpet Pro CMP3 and CPU commercial line, the Fuller Brush FB-MMPW and its related models, the Maytag M700, and the Titan T4000 and TC6000 families, with the complete model list in the fitment line below.
Once the sleeve wears thin, the handle starts to rock side to side instead of pivoting cleanly, and you will usually hear a knock at the joint on every direction change before you feel the play in your hands. Left in place, that slop transfers into the softer plastic of the housing around it, and a housing repair costs a good deal more than a sleeve. On a commercial floor, that side-to-side play shows up first as a machine that feels harder to steer in a straight line, because the operator is fighting the joint instead of the wheels. It gets worse gradually, so a lot of these get replaced only after the knock has been audible for weeks.
The sleeve presses into the pivot point and is a small, inexpensive fix on its own. On a machine that has been in daily commercial use for several years, replace both sides together, since they see identical load and wear at close to the same rate.
Because this same sleeve is listed under so many brand names across Carpet Pro, Fuller Brush, Maytag and Titan, confirm the exact model on your data plate against the fitment list above before ordering rather than matching by brand and general appearance alone.
