our locomotive is equipped with traction tires. This means that two of the drive wheels
are fitted with rubber traction tires to enhance tractive effort so your locomotive can pull
many cars at once.
Lionel has provided extra traction tires to replace the installed traction tires if they ever wear
out. The traction tires are replaced by unscrewing the drive rod screws using the supplied
wrench. See Figure 10. Slip off the old traction tire and remove it from under the drive rod.
Place the new traction tire (Lionel part no. 6000222108) on the wheel and re-tighten the drive
rod screw.
