In Praise of Frank Timko's Wheel Puller

Hi Everyone,

Somewhat new (a few posts regarding Lionel TMCC/Legacy vs conventional) to this forum, and I have NEVER before used a commercially produced wheel puller (having hammered out the axle on a TMCC 746's drive wheels with a nail set and the open jaws of a vise), but my first try of Frank Timko's wheel puller was absolutely FANTASTIC! I scribed the axle/wheels so I could later quarter them properly, set the center push pin on the axle, snugged the outside "pullers" up on the bind/flanged drive wheel, and in less than 10 minues had pulled the rear drive wheels and the blind wheels next to it off.

Thanks, Frank Timko !!!

I humbly apologize for not crediting Frank Timko correctly.

I don't like it when my name is misspelled, so I hope Frank and all you out there can forgive me.

I was so excited when the wheel puller worked, I jumped right onto the OGR and wrote my brief praise.

Humble thanks to all for your likes, and pointing out my error.
