Title: 2-truck shay
Post by: woodydfl on January 03, 2013, 11:03:23 PM
I need the plastic coupler that connects the front truck to the cylinders on a 2-truck shay that is ten years old.  What is the part number?

Hi Woody,
I haven't seen a drawing for a two truck Shay, but I own three.  I'm pretty sure that the front coupling used on the 55 ton three truck shay would be the same.  You can find the detail and part numbers on the fourth page of this drawing:

If anyone is aware of a difference between the two models (at least in this area), please let me know.

Thanks John,

Turns out one cannot buy the separate parts, only the complete cylinder assembly.  I have ordered one, cost $100.00.

Offer other parts for sale to others who may need them and help recoup some of extra expense for 1 part.
