GunrunnerJohn .....exactly. The manual does not sync up at all with what one sees when examining the trucks. Kind of exasperating. Had to change one on a Polar Express engine and the manual said the bolt was 3/16" when it actually was metric. Not impressed.....
I am not versed on removing the motor and dropping the truck. Any advice there.
Do appreciate the help ...... may take a shot at sending note to Lionel Service
