MTH Amfleet Coupler Parts

Those die cast coupler armatures are no longer available. MTH has a replacement coupler kit for these cars and the broken piece you show are now stamped metal instead of die cast. I have a couple of kits, but if you need more you can get them direct from MTH. The part # is DD-0000073.

Those couplers are a known issue. I've replaced a bunch... For the short term, you can just superglue the knuckle shut if you want to buy time, but even the knuckles will eventually crumble and break. Its honestly best to do what Chuck suggests and buy the MTH kit. I want to say its about 8 bucks. 

Its been a while since I've done it with the Amfleets but if I remember right you need to take the shell off to get at the screw which releases the truck, so you can get the old coupler off. The car floors are plastic and a bit flexible, so dont pull too hard. 

Thank you Chuck and Boilermaker1.  I will follow your suggestions and order the replacements from MTH.

Please email me at the address in my profile I have four sets of trucks you can have for the price of shipping.

The new couplers from MTH are $7.00 per coupler. Part # is DD-0000073. Look on MTH's web site.
