Good afternoon,
I'm Done with the motor conversion and will leave this follow-up should it be useful for your projects whatever they may be.
I ordered the Timco's Trains Repair Puller as Albrecht suggested rather than use a old automotive three fingered puller that I have. The Timco is a excellent puller making short work of removing the flywheel. It will most certainly find itself useful for all kinds of projects around our hobby bench.
The Lionel 6208557128 Flywheel arrived a few days later with the correct (smaller) shaft hole for the older 1999-2002 MTH Mabuchi Motor. The slip fit is quite tighter than that of the newer Lionel Mabuchi motor, be real careful seating the flywheel. Remember to tighten the two flywheel set screws.
I mounted the new 691M4VSE01 board on the MTH Motor and realized that the lionel Legacy Board has a 47uf 50V Capacitor that is not on the MTH motor. I installed one to the lionel board.
A special Thanks to John, Albrecht, and Pete for pointing me in the right direction! more than once too!
Also a Big "Thank you" to Frank of Timco Repair Depot, His excellent tool and advise. In hindsight, Frank could have done the motor work in his sleep.
Warmest Regards to all,
Carl & Susanne
