Locomotive Traction Tire Replacement Instructions
Your locomotive is equipped with four neoprene rubber traction tires
(two on each power truck). While these tires are extremely durable
and long-lasting there may arise a time where they will need to be
replaced. Should this occur, you will need to remove the trucks from
the chassis in order to slip the new tire over the grooved drive wheel.
Follow the lubrication instructions on the previous pages for removing
the trucks from the chassis. Once the trucks have been removed, you
will need to remove the trucksides in order to gain free access to the
wheels and the rubber traction tire grooves. See Figure 18 to remove
the trucksides.
Before the new tire can
be installed, you must
make sure the old tire
has been completely
removed from the
groove in the drive
wheel. Use a razor
blade or small flatblade
screwdriver pry away
any remains left from the
old tire that may still be
in the drive wheel
groove. Once the old
tire has been completely
removed, slip the new
tire onto the wheel. You
may find it useful to use
two small flatblade
screwdrivers to assist you in stretching the tire over the wheel. Be
careful to avoid twisting the tire when stretching it over the wheel. If a
twist occurs, the tire will have to be removed and reinstalled or a
