       How do you lub the worn gear on the motor? Looks like take out
       the long screw under the truck and pull the motor out the top.
       Is this right? Is the motor keyed where you need to turn it one
       way or the other? Model 6-38232
       Thanks Johnny333 65++ and still ticking.

       Johnny333,
       Here's the manual for the FT.
       Check out page 18 for lubrication instructions.

       I have the manual. But it doesn't show how to get at the worm
       gear. It is easy on my Lionel steam engine 4 screws and your are
       there.
       Thanks Johnny333 65+++

       the shell off are located.

       Got it. Have to take the 6 screws out for the cab then take out
       the long screw on the bottom of the truck and motor comes out.
       There are 2 screws in the bottom of the truck one for the motor
       and one electrical pick up. One truck had a lot of grease the
       other very very little.
