Motor of the Week - Week 3 - Please help identify!

The wheels are for a Electric Type Loco.

The pickup are likely prewar Ives or Lionel Jr. later 027 type Electric outline.

Flying Yankee or City of Denver.  Maybe

I'd guess a prewar articulated. Don't know which one.

The wheels seem fairly large, maybe for a 752 UP.

It is from a Flying Yankee, or City of Denver, Marty is correct. The length of the missing ball pivot stud in top of the motor would determine which of the 2 engines that it was in.

Marty, based upon your own expertise, confirmed by our brother experts, you are the Week 3 winner! Thank you for your taking the time and trouble to ID the motor! Here is your Certificate of Awesomeness:

Aided by your expert comments, I did a little digging and found a few photos Here is one of both the Flying Yankee and City of Denver:

Here is a photo of the real Flying Yankee:

I believe the Lionel motor part number for the Flying Yankee was 616E-25 or 616W , and the City of Denver was 636W.

Thanks Pete.   I had all of those back in the day and have been purchasing the MTH remakes.   I still have my original 752 that I restored many years ago.  I was in need of a better motor when I found one at York NIB for $30.00.   That is when I made up my mind that this York thing is OK.

Marty, do you think the pictured motor is capable of restoration or should I keep it for parts?

I have many geared wheels and axles for them.   Lionel did a remake about 7 years ago.  It may have the same motor in new condition.  When Lionel did the remake (6-31771 ) they used the same motor.  Motor number 6207914100.  The Lionel site states unavailable.  If you know a guy who knows a guy, I bet you could find one.

If I can find parts at a reasonable price, then I can fix it.

People have the parts.  That will not be a problem.  If I was doing one, I would use the Dallee model 400 electronic reverse unit.  It will run very smooth then.

Pete, I may have what you need; give me a couple of days and I'll check. 

John

Thanks, John!

That is the motor from a Lionel Pre War Flying Yankee. Its missing its mounting stud which would have attached to the plate on the top with the two holes.
