I'm trying to check for parts on two MTH SD45's with the part numbers 20-2912-1, Milw Road and     20-20099-1, Montana Rail Link.  Both web pages for those engines have the "gear symbols' For PARTS, but the icon is not active.  The operator's manual is active and are some other, but not PARTS.

 

Do I have to call MTH on those specific engines, or is there another process to get the parts listing?

I need to confirm that the truck assemblies for both engines have the same part number along with the can motor, also having the same part number.  

 

I've got both parts side by side, removed and they look identical, but there's no part number on the can motors and of course there's no part number on the truck assembly.

The flywheel thickness is 5.0 mm (thin version) and it's diameter is 27 mm.  The worm gear shaft is 8.2 diameter, length is 23 mm.  The tooth length is very hard to measure, so I used a number 60 drill bit and laid it in between the teeth and it was then flush with the top of the teeth and the drill bit measures 1.0 mm. I also tried a number 59 drill bit at 1.1 mm and it was too high.

 

If you have a trick to measuring the tooth length (or height) using a vernier caliper or any other product, I'll try to get another measurement.  Perhaps some impression compound?

 

All these measurements seem to be the same as the RS385PH can motor that I have installed on My SD40's for 20-2668-1, from 2006.

 

The truck assembly breakdown is what I really need and I know the can motor that fits that truck helps find the right truck.  The SD45 trucks I'm looking for are from

2008 and 2010.

 

Thanks for the help
