Reassembly of motor on a 726 RR Lionel Berk. Need Diagram. | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Smoke Stack LightninOGR Forum Member

I found an old 726 RR (I had given up on years ago) totally torn down in a junk box. I have no idea what the problem was, but think it had to do with ball bearings. I'd like to get it running again, but need a diagram to determine what parts i.e. thrust washers and bearings are needed and where they go. Can anyone help with this information? I could also use the name of a good vendor to purchase replacement parts.

Thanks,

Rich

You can use the diagram from the 736 Berkshire. It is the same motor.

You need two ball bearing race assemblies, four washers, and an e-ring

If it's a 1946 #726, with the motor labeled "atomic", it's a different motor and drive train, not used in later #726s.

It's a 1952.

Here is the motor pictorial diagram:

Do people understand that when some words are blue with an underline, that it is a link?

Too many steps, Burfle. I have spun my wheels with link laden posts and they go unnoticed/unused.

Maybe I shouldn't bother then.
