Buddy up your way had his barn blown down. It came down on top of Wanderlodge. He told us (in the WOG) he could get in it. The bathroom door was jammed. We’re hoping they get the rubble off it , the roof will flex back up. All steel coach. Otherwise it looks good, just can’t drive it out yet. It’s holding up a bit of the barn.
No body is perfect. I have rebuilt a lawnmower engine for my self. I built the whole thing knowing I needed to replace the piston ring as well. Well fixed all the other issues. Then put it together. Next day walk over to the work table sitting next to it was the ring set for the piston. Man I was like you idiot how can you forget the one thing you were doing. I was pretty upset with my self for a bit. But it is easy on a small engine. It still had the old piston rings on it. But I did replace the rings the same day. Now I keep a check list of parts of done for the day or week. More organized for myself.
Not that it any type of big deal, but I know that the caliber of work you always stride for, must have pissed you off to no end, to have missed that little 1/4" in. drain plug. This comment is meant only to throw some salt into the wound. LOL. Scott always share's the Good, the Bad; and the Ugly. These are the top of the top technicians, when it comes to repairs on buses, second to nobody period. God bless you one and all. Thanks for sharing Scott, your also one heck of an educator by the way.
That’s why we test for leaks. That one was easy to find. It was funny because after about 10 seconds of running i looked under snd no fluids had hit the floor yet. Then 30 seconds into it i looked under again and said oh shit, shut if off. Then for about two min after shut down the puddle kept growing and expanding. Delayed 40wt oil flowing at the speed of molasses
The wife and I own property in Soddy Daisy, TN but we lived in Knox county, TN for 28 years. I do miss those super bad east Tennessee spring storms! I have seen 150 foot oak trees fall across the drive. Three giant trees snap midway up the trunk from micro bursts, and 2' deep water in my cul-de-sac. They were cool though!
Nice work, bet that Newell is driving nice now. I like the double shocks on the front, bet that helps with porpoising! I put a 1” heater hose on my air dryer spitter to extend it down, fits perfectly over the end, nice good friction fit so you can remove it and clean from time to time.
Excellent video of outdoors by the way I know you guys know so be safe outdoors with all those widowmakers up in those trees. Even a small branch in a wind can cause real harm.
Pro tip: for Allen head bolts that are hard to get to, cut a short piece off an Allen key, shove it inside the bolt head, and use a wrench to take it off.
What you call a "cotter pin" in the US we refer to as a 'split pin' in the UK. Our cotter pins are used to hold the cranks onto a push bike center axle and have a chamfered side to gradually tighten onto the axle shaft as you knock them in.
@10:53 before working on anything (more often airplanes for me) I always use my phone to take a bunch of pictures. I suspect that those wires have been loose for some time, but with pictures of "before" you wouldn't need to be wondering if you knocked a wire nut off....
I used to work at a radiator shop and would occasionally find one of those that had a leak on the center tube. I could have a core made and un solder and re solder the top and bottom tanks or side tanks depending on the configuration. Sometimes those are just plugged up and there is no good way to shove a rode thru the ports. You can try but there is no way if it doesn't want to. The other bad thing is that if you have a tube that is leaking in the middle is that you have to solder the top and bottom of the header shut on that tube which deletes that tube. That is if you don't ruin the core in the process. Very expensive.
In Australia we don't have that many coach conversation but I bloody love ya videos mate. I cam see ya updated ya camera and editing. Tyler is a weapon. Wouldnt mind spinin some spannas with you blokes one day 💪
Manual air tank drains were always better than the auto one's in my opinion and like you say if they have a good air dryer on there now that should cut most of the moisture.
Damn that's an expensive brake drum, we just ran into something similar, when we heard the price of the drum we almost had a heart attack. We can get a 16.5 x 7 for around $75, but for a 16.5 x 8.6 I believe it was around $500 (OUR price), I dont even want to know what regular retail price is 💀.
I’ve heard that very same thing, they’re not for the faint of heart. I’ve also heard - owning a jet aircraft is much, much, more expensive!! If you even flinch at going through $100 a minute, OR, ask how much it costs in gallons per hour, you can’t afford it.
I noticed that you changed out those two gate valves. I was wondering why you don’t use ball valves instead? It’s obvious when they are open as well as closed which I’m very sure you know. Is it a matter of room to install? Not a criticism in any way I love watching you guys, just an observation.
For those of us that have one of these buses. Can you list the part numbers of the replacement parts . As you know looking for parts can take longer than doing the job itself
Is there a 'best' kind of wood and hammer for flattening out metal? I have to flatten some equipment face plates which are thinner then a bus bumper; and with the hammer I have they come out worse then when I got them.
Hi Scott and Kelly we’re going down to Nashville in about three or four weeks we’re staying downtown was wondering if you guys can recommend a good Mexican restaurant in the downtown area let me know. Thanks guys you’re number one fan
Why were the brake drums so expensive?? I was thinking most of those bus brake drums were close or the same as many big trucks brake drums which are pretty much universal. Why would a manufacturer spec a unique design that ends up being so expensive because it's probably a one off design.
Hello Scott no rush hard hard work question Sir I've never seen a wrench or a socket excuse me that can install 90 degree fittings is that something you made or can they be purchased online only in the US please let me know I appreciate it thank you
For those of us that own one of there busses could you list the part number . As you know you can spend as much or more time looking for parts as the job itself takes . Thank you
@ 14:11 Now that security sign sure got my attention! 🤣
;) i think it’s hilarious
That beautiful old bus definitely deserves some serious TLC like only BGM can provide.
I like that sign for your home security system. :)
Scott remember when we both had strong backs like that young one does must be nice. Tell him to take care of it

Good feeling knowing these rigs are much much safer when you put'm back on the road. Thanks Scotty......
Thank you... for all the people you help..thank you.
✌️❤️😁
On Most Newells, they leave spare wires in the engine compartment that go up front to the fuse panel.
I commend you for your skills to keep these behemoths safely on the road.
Wow that bus is gonna be like branew!!!
And preivity, too !😊

Now we silent ones know we are not alone!!😊
Pleasantly surprised that my countrymen Koni are making shocks for these old buses 😃

Great video! Working on a 1983 with a 6V92 so I learned a lot from this project.
I like the "Protected by FAMO" sign by the drive into the shop!🤣🤣🤣🤣
The ol Tanya Harding got er done 😂
Great progress on the Newell

I took down 8 widow makers yesterday.
Good deal. That rig and operator will be much happier once they're on the road again.
This was a good one! Awesome to watch 😎😎👍🏻👍🏻
Great job crew!

I would have had a hard time resisting the urge to get rid of the rust in the valvetrain. You have greater willpower than me.
What you call a "cotter pin" in the US we refer to as a 'split pin' in the UK. Our cotter pins are used to hold the cranks onto a push bike center axle and have a chamfered side to gradually tighten onto the axle shaft as you knock them in.
GREAT JOB.
Great video. Love to watch these!
Have you ever thought about getting a cricutter machine to make gaskets that you can’t get anymore?
I was wondering about a laser cutter which may also be useful for other fabrication jobs.

I did go back and look but even better the rv owner confirmed they have been like that

I have soldered a few tubes up from the inside before.
I haven't made gasket that way since my days as a nuclear reactor plant mechanic LOL.
Cereal box style
That's hilarious
Which plant.
Our Boy Scouts toured Satsup in Washington state...years ago...after the project was scrapped. . . But standing tall.
Nice work, Scott that heater harness wire is back wound on itself and can cause it to "coil field" and short out
@HUDSON VAL... I spent lots of time in Poughkeepsie. 🤫🤭😎😏🤷♂️

Owning a bus is not for the faint of heart everything is expensive.

HVACR would appreciate the use of the viper cleaner:)
I've always liked the sound of a diesel much better than a petrol engine.😊
That one sounds great.
Nice work Scott ….
Good video great work.
You guys are amazing
Niiiiice job
I LOVE, the way you "DO SHIT" Get It done. In the most AMERICAN way
You need some wipes new on that site glass or some of that porcelain ceramic polish works too works good for a couple years
Just found your channel. Great videos. Where are you located?
Hickman county TN

Great content no mention of cause for Sparks loose connection?
The access all round looks much better than the Silversides.
I would not say that. Silversides is much easier for 90% of things
@@BusGreaseMonkey OK, you would know. On screen the access looks better though.
Leroy❤
Bang on job 👍🏻😎💪🔧😊
saying hi from Brazil
Best you tube outro song ever
For those of us that have one of these buses. Can you list the part numbers of the replacement parts . As you know looking for parts can take longer than doing the job itself
Should you be running a braided line or solid copper from the compressor to the dryer and not plastic? That is what I was always taught.
Made many gaskets using a ball peen hammer. 🙂
Mr. Gasket...tappy tap tap 👍🏻
Is there a 'best' kind of wood and hammer for flattening out metal? I have to flatten some equipment face plates which are thinner then a bus bumper; and with the hammer I have they come out worse then when I got them.
keep the clips coming
Hi Scott and Kelly we’re going down to Nashville in about three or four weeks we’re staying downtown was wondering if you guys can recommend a good Mexican restaurant in the downtown area let me know. Thanks guys you’re number one fan
I have only been downtown Nashville 1 time since moving to tn. We didn’t eat anywhere so unfortunately i do not know of any restaurants.
My god that radiator was a massive effort! How many hours did that part of the project end up taking?
Did you make that socket for the 90 Fitting ?? Good idea
It’s called a Weatherhead socket. Made for hydraulic fittings etc.
Why were the brake drums so expensive?? I was thinking most of those bus brake drums were close or the same as many big trucks brake drums which are pretty much universal. Why would a manufacturer spec a unique design that ends up being so expensive because it's probably a one off design.
Odd ball size. 5”wide shoes most buses are 4” wide on the front
@@BusGreaseMonkey I guess I don't understand not using the standard size? One of those engineers decisions we scratch our head in wonder about.
No tag axle needed more breaking power so the front axle is heavier weight rating and more breaking.
@@BusGreaseMonkey ok I understand about not having the tag, that makes more sense.
Hello Scott no rush hard hard work question Sir I've never seen a wrench or a socket excuse me that can install 90 degree fittings is that something you made or can they be purchased online only in the US please let me know I appreciate it thank you
Search “Weatherhead sockets”
amzn.to/3Jiy3jR just an example i don’t own this set
Chainsaw time Scott
Hey Scott can you please explain the weighting each of the corner tires for the tire psi like you did on the Snap-on truck?
What was being used for coolant, grease? Lol.
Did anyone else catch the 'swear jar word' @ 15:23.....time to pay up Jonathan!
Nice.
Years of dirt!
Where can I get a set of those drive on scales?
Where can folks find parts for these things?
Most everything mechanical is available the parts were used on many hwy vehicles
any thoughts on a 50's Kenworth-pacific bus? has been converted to a 6v71 Detroit
Very rare but cool to be saved
👌
BTW, did that tree ever came down?
Video in a couple days
4.18...free anger management....🤣
👍🇺🇦👍🇺🇦
My hairy wife watch this all the time,,,,
As usual, a good job and I believe I saw my old hammer wack that bumper
Your Weatherhead socket too
I cringe when I see them pick up those brake drums . I know how heavy they are
fire wood
to many closeups for me
Careful on the twisties. Some of that pepper grinder stiffens the shaft or blows is out prematurely 😏🤷♂️🤭🤫😎✌️🔧🔩
Just did my HVAC fins and coils. Kept the dogs, kitties and kiddos away. 😏🤷♂️👌🏻🙏🏻👍🏻✌️🤭🤫🧰🛠🔩🔧🇺🇸
For those of us that own one of there busses could you list the part number . As you know you can spend as much or more time looking for parts as the job itself takes . Thank you
Nice job guys..
