Ryobi does not offer the brushes as a separate repair part. The brushes are only available as part of the motor itself. The motor is part #791-182548 and is available from http://www.ereplacementparts.com.

impeller removal Question by al 11/09/2009
How do you remove it and put one back on? Are any special tools required?
The picture of Impeller is not the same as mine.
Mine is plastic and curved vanes.the picture shows a straight veined and metal. Also, does anyone offer the removal
procedure?
all i need is a bag Review by rick chappell 10/30/2009
We live in Indiana so fall is leaf time. We use the leaves for mulch for all of our flower and vegetable beds. The 1300 does a wonderful job of making a consistent size mulch. Also it has withstood the small twigs and other things occasionally gobbled up. I would recommend this product to anyone needing dependability and durability, now if I can only get that replacement bag I will be set.
The bag for machines with round attachment fittings is discontinued and no longer available. For machines with oval attachment fittings the bag is part #753-04465 and is available from http://www.ereplacementparts.com.
I hope this helps with your repair!

Good Review by Danny Chalfant 09/23/2009
This vacuum was purchased in one of the reconditioned store and has been around a long time. I have tried two others and always come back to this one. I think it is some where in the neighborhood of 12-15 years old and is in need of repair, which is why I am ordering the parts. It Has Ben Good To Me
I thought I liked the bloweer vacuum as I own one in Arizona and liked it so well that I bought another for our cabin in northern Minnesota. After putting it together, I started vacuuming leaves and after the 2nd bag, it started making a loud noise and vibrated so bad I couldnt use it. On taking the tubes off I noticed the impeller has 4 fins broken off. Is there any warrenty on it.
I do not know about the warranty, but can tell about the fins, you sucked up some bark and long twigs. Mine did the same with rocks and I live in AZ also.
