HI ADCX Rob,
I was wondering if you can give me some guidance.
I came across a post you made on the forum, while searching Google for the following: “lionel assembly 8021-100” this forum was the only hit for the search, as i was trying to find more information on this Motor Truck, Alco 2 position. This is for my Lionel Diesel, Santa Fe 8351, (6-8351). I got the instruction for the diesel and 8021-100 motor truck from lionel. I had this as a kid and wanted to clean it to put in service for my son, when i realized that one of the rubber tires is missing on the gear wheel. This is where i need the help.

Although you might not be referring to the motor truck i have, the description is the same- does have die-cast power truck side frames, & dual axle drive with 2 traction tires - as the one
