The Johnston VS651 is the single-engine (hydrostatic drive from the truck engine) version of the V651 truck-mounted sweeper, with a 6.5 m3 hopper (voided volume) and about 6 t payload depending on chassis. Johnston's V651 spec sheet lists a 500 mm channel brush (650-710 mm optional) and a 406 mm wide sweep brush behind it, both quick-release.

Variants and what to check
Johnston's VT651 stock list (same V651 brush gear) gives 835-60 (1-piece steel), 835-61 (2-piece steel) and 835-62 (1-piece poly) channel brushes, two per machine on dual-sweep builds, plus 295050-406 poly or 30224 poly/steel wide sweep brush. Older 650-series wide sweep brooms used square-drive hubs and newer ones star-drive hubs; check the hub before ordering. Channel brush diameter depends on whether the 500 mm standard or 650-710 mm optional brush is fitted.
