Gilberto posted:Hello guys, good night ...
In my "Shell" printed the number 736!
But as I bought used, I think this locomotive may have suffered "mutations".
I had to remove the wheels because they were "stuck" with some kind of glue to remain fixed to the axes ...
The damage here is great ...
Yes I also think I will have to replace the bushings on all wheels and I bought these M 671-19 as I saw in Greenberg's Repair Operating Manual for Lionel Trains 1945 -1969 ...
This is my first restoration, I have a lot to learn yet, and especially with the right tools to use ... For here in Brazil I will not find a Lionel pulley puller, I had to adapt one and it worked ... but great care is needed!
I learn
Thank you for listening to all of you !!!
And sorry my English!

I think you're right about "mutations" I have never seen, nor heard of, a 736 with Baldwin disk drivers only spoked drivers were used on the 736. It should also have the magnets for Magnetraction if it's a 736 or at lest a place that mounts them on the frame. The Baldwin disks were used on the 726 which didn't have Magnetraction nor a place to mount magnets, in the frame. So the question is do you have a 736 with 726 drivers or a 726 frame and drivers with a 736 boiler?
