Lionel 165 Crane help | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Joe FermaniOGR Forum Member

A friend of mine asked if I could tune up his 165 operating crane he inherited from his uncle. It shows signs of life but desperately needs new wiring, good cleaning, and lubrication. I am specifically looking for a wiring diagram and parts breakdown before I tear it down for a complete overhaul. I did find on Amazon "Greenberg's Repair and Operating Manual for Lionel Trains, 1945-1969 (Greenberg's Repair and Operating Manuals)". The table of contents lists the crane but I do not know if it will have the info I need. So I have not purchased it yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
