For my first time I ever I replaced the traction tires on my MTH PS2 FP-45 RKS Diesel Engine. Here is the issue: Everything is completely done less I cannot get the motor mount screw to tighten up. Even when I attempt to place the screw directly into the opening it will not do anything but spin. This must be incredibly simple. What am I missing here?

John,
First, have you removed the engine's cab? If not, it will be difficult to line up the motor with he truck.
If you have removed the cab and are still having difficulties, make sure that the motor is correctly lined-up from the top-down. Once it is, hold the truck and motor so that you can see when they line up, then place them upside down while keeping the two together, and then replace the screw.
It can be frustrating, however, if you're careful and persistent, you'll get it done.
Make sure no wires running around the motor get pinched under the motor mount. G
Also turn the flywheel so that the warm gear on the motor screws itself down into the truck.
