I believe that the sidesmoker motor and the standard smoking motor used a slightly different truck. The normal smoker motor is what is seen in the picture that Dave posted above. That appears to be the type of truck that your sidesmoker is using. Take a look at the underside picture of this sidesmoker. You will see that it is attached via a screw just like yours, but the truck doesn't have the tab, and it is made slightly different around the axle. It may be that the tab is what is actually shorting out on the 3rd rail. You might try bending or removing the tab just to get the truck to work. Otherwise, you may have to find a truck like the one seen on the other sidesmoker.
