Replacing The Traction Tires - Lionel American Flyer Owner's Manual

Maintaining and servicing your locomotive

Replacing the traction tires

Y our locomotive is equipped with two traction tires (Lionel part no. 640-8039-206). During
the course of normal operations, the traction tires may become worn out. To replace the
traction tires, use a 3/16" nut driver to remove the drive rod nut. Slip off the worn tire and
position the replacement tire around the wheel. Carefully fit the tire into the groove. If you are
uncomfortable with this operation, you may choose to have the traction tires replaced by your
authorized Lionel Service Center.
