Lionel No. 1103 "Peter Rabbit" Chick-Mobile Hand Car | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Anyone have experience with taking the motor out of the1103?
I am particularly concerned with bending the tabs that hold it in place and if they are very brittle and tend to brake.
I have a cosmetically nice example but it does not function and would like to fix it.

A lot will depend on whether or not the tabs have ever been unbent before. If not, I would imagine that your chances of unbending the tabs and then bending them back should be pretty good. I cannot ever recall having a Lionel pre-war tab break off, being unbent for the first time. Good luck!

I got it apart with no broken tabs!
