Bus Conversion Project - Video 125 - Aluminum Wheels and converting the tag axle to oil bath

Pulled the Aluminum wheels off the old bus, got a couple more, sanded and polished them up and installed them with all good tires

Great video, especially for mechanics who don't understand heavy transport. I'd recommend "Fluid Film" rust prevention for the drum/flange surfaces.

[@poppabear3664]

Hi James,
Great work buffing up those wheel, downside - now you need to buff up the rest of the bus to match lol.
Good to see more vids from you,
Best wishes from the UK

[@harryheaton1185]

Though you sold the other bus good thing u didnt...parts lol......I hear you thinking about getting to old for this sh t...I say that all the time...keep swinging brother...

[@JamesEDennison]

No... No time to get it ready to sell, and I'm finding expensive parts on it all the time... don't wanna get too carried away though , has to still have some value when I do get to selling it

[@jimmiller4951]

You paid way to much for your lugs bud . I have the same Budd wheels { lug pilot { and I also needed longer lugs of course because the aluminum wheels are 1" thick at the face. From the mechanic the lugs are 3.00 apiece US dollar.

[@JamesEDennison]

Cool, can you send me a link to where you got them?... I still need more, Thanks

[@jimmiller4951]

@@JamesEDennisonactually I looked at what you have and what I have a second time. Mine are for the Budd wheels that are square lugs at the end . Your lugs even look larger in diameter than mine so I can see why yours are so expensive.
In summery I stand corrected.

[@JamesEDennison]

@@jimmiller4951 Damn... that's too bad...was hoping to find them cheaper, I can see why they are so expensive, they are threaded on both ends so a lot of work to make, no idea why they built them that way but they did, truck ones are press in... about 7 or 8 bucks each and work just as well, Oh well, that's how they are, I still need 20 studs for the tag axle
