Thank you Jerry.  Fortunately I'm busy with other duties at this time.

Thank you for your reply Jerry.  I want to get into the "guts" of the engine so I can see how the two sets of drivers are attached to the body so I can use the method to change my engines with two sets of engines.  So it is not something I can return to "fix" as nothing is broken.

   The only dis assembly instructions I have are the ones to get the top of the boiler off.  Where can I find the instructions to disassemble the loco the rest of the way??  Thank you.

bapguy:  Here's the link to the pic's (I hope)  First pic you can see the tab just in front of the fuel tank.  The second pic is harder to see the tab near the middle wheel of the truck (my thumb is on the rear wheel.  There are 4 tabs in total.  http://s1310.beta.photobucket.com/user/ted158/media/Bac%20Mann/100_7559_zps597c24b3.jpg.html


Jerry HO:  I'll give this a try.  Sounds like it might do the "trick".

The fuel tank snaps off and then there are 2 very short screws that seem to hold the motor on - I can't tell exactly other than the motor seems loose now.  But the shell is still firmly in place.  There are 4 tab-like items on the "floor" of the engine under the front and rear trucks.  I tried to get them loose but I'm not sure which way to move then to make them unlatch.

I have a Spectrum F45 (oops, SD45) diesel that I need to do some repairs on.  How do I get the shell off and disassemble it.

Thank you.

Ted
