Working on a Lionel 253 engine.
Does anyone know what are the size / threads / type (head style) of screws used to hold the motor to the frame (4 screws) and the shell to the frame (two screws)?

4-36 x 1/4 round head for the motor frame, 4-36 x 1/8 fillister for mounting the body to the frame.
Thank You Chuck for the quick reply.
This forum is great! What a wealth of information.
I will check a the local hardware stores in my area, and if I do not find the item will look online.
If you need them (and Chuck Sartor doesn't have them), George Tebolt has them. I just got some from him.
Wish you luck. 4-36 threads are an obsolete size and you won't find them in the big box stores. Look for a hardware store that's been at the same spot for sixty or more years.
You'll have to scour the web to find sources. But they're are there. Unfortunately I lost my listings when the computer crashed last year.
