The parts sheets are easily found. It looks like my 235 model. Looks like it should have come with the parts to accept a blade when new. How big a blade it is rated for and what a brush blade means to different folks I can not advise. Mine has a 20mm arbor and is about that vintage I got it in 2002 but not sure when it was actually made. There probably are blade holder parts for one inch center hole.
