Hey Scott just an FYI if you release the interlock lever between the brake pedals it would allow you to brake steer the tractor. Farmers use that to turn tighter corners. Practice it when it suits just to get the feel of it.
If the engine ran 6000 RPM without damage, why is the governor not set higher for more power? Plus I guess that is a design error allowing shaft wear to drive the fuel pump but not the governor, plus allowing the engine shutoff to depend on air pressure, which I would look into changing the latter, I guess to electric, requiring voltage to keep it running.
Your little New Holland 4WD tractor is a winner. That was quite a chore, pulling that bus up a steep driveway. By the way, that's a very nice old bus. Sturdy, solid, not flashy, and its got good character. I can tell the owner is fond of it. I would be too.
Those tow drivers did it right took their time and looked out for the bus would say these guys should be number one on the call list for anyone needing a tow in their area.
Kudos to the tow dudes. Really appreciate the amount of care they show - so much better than the usual "good enough" attitude I seem to come across these days. I sure can't afford a bus, but if I ever came across one by the side of the road and in a pickle...I'd probably suggest these guys. And that they then take the bus to you, Scott - obvs. 😁
I know SO MANY people who would be spinning tires and shooting gravel everywhere trying to get up that hill. Low and slow - Keeping your tires gripping is the ONLY way to go! As soon as your tires spin, you have LOST 100% of your traction. LOVE the copper piping - GREAT way to make sure your hoses don't burst!
Wow this towing company actually had the right equipment and know how. Great turnaround on this one! You bought the right tractor for the jobs you have.
Fast thinking owner saved his powerplant, very nicely done, Shoutout to the transporter's too, great to see pro's with the know how, and the proper equipment to do the job right. And of course the BGM team, Scott you and your team have every bit my respect... you guy's are amazing..thanx again for the video's, and everything else you do every single day. Great job man. Thank you... ✌️❤️😁
Cool sounding engine (not too loud) and rides well over your test run. Glad your customer thinks so highly of you that he pays good brass to transport his bus to your place. Good to hear you plugging your local businesses too. Enoy your videos. Makes me dream about hitting the road in a bus like that. Sadly it's only a dream.
Great video. You are a true asset to the bus community for jumping in and helping this fellow. That engine sounds really smooth after the repairs. Probably one of the nicest sounding engines I've heard. Very pretty bus.
Well it worked well on this more vintage style bus but a lot of buses would be too tall you get over 14 ft you run into trouble quick the newer buses are still going to require a RGN & even though a bus isn't over weight or width it's still considered a specialized load most owners are less motivated to hire the guys with the real nice equipment because of the money
Need to let the air out of those back tires. The sidewalls actually should be flexing just a bit, they don't get hot because you are moving so slowly. But if you do that, you will be amazed at how much more traction you get. Beautiful bus, I would pay the towing to get you to work on it as well.
I said it before and I'll say it again you guys are incredible the knowledge you guys know everything about everything and whoever it is that talks on the camera is very humble guy not sure if you guys are all family or friends but the way you guys work together is incredible keep up the very hard work you guys do and the great videos 💪💪
I don't need to see the 'runaway' as i've already experienced a runaway on my van when the seal blew on the turbo and dumped oil into the chambers. Very, very scary! Ironically, after replacing the turbo and seals my 17 year old van is now running like a swiss watch. Great thinking with the mat. Love that bus by the way.
it sounds nice and smooth, great job. The word has got around, there's buses everywhere. Your business has come a long way from when you started driving to jobs. Well done mate.
I could notice the effect of the throttle delay function on the control tubes (racks), progressive when fuelled up,,,, oh, and I still have a blower drive shaft 'on the ready' in my kit after all these years.. Great video thanks...
Love the sound of the Detroit diesel. They really were the peak of technology in their day. Also, that truck driver must be a hell of a man to get comment from his big sis and mom below!
I love that little tractor! I'm sure you guys do even more, but I really like the 4x4 idea, and it's a nice size with a cab. Excellent for mowing with the A/C on.
Nice you can see the transport guys know their job very well, and attention to detail, nice to see people actually care about the quality of their work!
Such knowledgeable service! Someone who actually knows what they are talking about and seemingly does not take anything apart that does not need investigation. Refreshing! Cost of driving one of these things has to be out there, but it must be a thrill, nonetheless!
I have been enjoyed watching your channel for a few years, can't believe you are only at 170K subs. Thanks for keeping those great old engines and busses alive! I was hoping to get into an older bus years ago but wife's health issues squashed that for now.
Hi 👋 Scott u have a good tractor glad to see it tow a big bus up ur hill to the shop safely ❤from ur subscriber Peter from SC May The Good Lord Bless u & ur family May his spirit shine upon u & ur family
well what ever its cost to get it there was worth every penny because its not only fixed with experience & knowledge its real passion and only fixed what`s broken unlike a lot of other places that would have pulled it to bits and maybe even said it would need a new engine pleasure to watch
3000 tow... half of what I paid for a whole running driving PD4104, granted that Flexible is pretty nice. That's a very interesting failure totally not what I expected.
Clint (C&C Equip) Scott needs something with more HPs to pull these toys up Mt Rwenzori ... Tha NH manages but imagine if the road was wet . Good video guys . You WIN again
I have worked in a corner street garage and when they towed in a truck that ran out of diesel, they wanted to try starting it with ether, I started it by bleeding the injector lines😊
Scott I know your busy could you take time and walk through the possible ways that could cause the run away? You stated fuel and oil, I know it's a lot to ask but the troubleshooting side of me has to ask. Great job. I think you could do a complete video just about the features and the history of this bus. Love the lights on the back.
Using the existing bucket mounts you could get a used bucket and fill it with concrete or fabricate steel plate making it into a water tank to provide variable ballast weight over the front axle of the tractor.
Runaway detroits make the BEST SOUND out of ANY ENGINE EVER MADE. It has the great rumble of the diesel engine, with the "revs" of a gas engine. Heaven. Some said some engines could run to 3000 rpm's and keep it there no problem. Impressive.
A lot of farmers like to put liquid in the wheels to add weight. They usu prefer beet juice since its non corrosive and doesn't ruin the rims. Just an idea if you haven't already considered it. Seems like plenty of power, just not getting it connected to the ground.
Het Scott! Rick Delair here! I am back!! Hope ya like my new username! 😝🤣👍🏻👌😋 I missed you a great deal! Glad to be back, can’t get enough of these awesome 2 strokes! I will always love them, best diesels ever made in world history hands down! I now have 2 rare valveless 4-51’s! Interesting failure on this one! 😎😋 Cheers man! 👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊
I'm no tractor expert...but it looks like the tow cable attaches to the tractor above the rear axle. This tends to make the tractor front end get lighter as the tension on the tow cable increases. If the tow cable were to attach to the tractor below the rear axle, increased tension in the tow cable only helps to force the front end of the tractor down. Years ago I was trying to pull a heavy load with my two-cylinder, two-wheel drive, diesel Yanmar and hooking the tow cable below the axle made all the difference.
Without if draped over the box to add weight to the rear tractor tires for traction, the tractor had zero traction to pull the bus. The wheels just hopped and never could gain traction
Curious as to how that blower drive got stripped. Never seen a runaway like that! Good that nothing got damaged and the owner got it shut down quickly. Most would be freaking out and standing by until stuff came flying out.
gotta have a plan for shutting them off. When I was operating Cummins NTC engines in heavy trucks, sometimes the external return throttle spring would break. The Cummins PT pump has an internal spring that wants to pull the throttle on 100%. So when the external spring broke, you had to hold your foot under the pedal, to keep it backed off until it was possible to get off the road and sort out the problem. Bloody amazing how the stripped shaft and turbo were able to create a runaway.......but how did the injectors get "full rack" position to dump in fuel? Or was it a partial runaway?
When you pull the emergency stop on a 71 series engine it can strip the blower shaft . On a 92 if you throw something over the intake it will also strip the blower shaft . Motor mount Motor mount
I understand the weight issue on the tractor, but I am curious if you had run your chain under the box blade to the underside of the tractor, midway if it would have helped you with traction on all four tires. Yes, you would still need the additional weight in the bucket and box blade, but your pull wait would be more to the ground rather than the chain being over the top of the box blade as you have done. Just a curious observation for future reference. This is a question of my curiosity, not a critique.
"I'm glad you helped me out...because nobody else woulda" The best kind of endorsement!
My little brother was the tow truck driver that delivered this bus!! He loves his job and is a damn hard worker!!
I do not own a bus but I can not imagine a service center with the services that you offer. I think you have become a legend.
To many maintenance/repair shops I'd say are criminals
Big points for telling us WHY and HOW it failed, and not just saying it's' fixed.
This is easily the best delivery by trailer I have seen on your channel.
Real pros.
The one thing I have learned from watching your videos is this; it is an expensive venture owning a bus. Thanks for the videos, good job.
That, and never start-up an unknown Detroit 2-stroke without a pair of channel lock pliers on the injection rack!
'Absolute towing". I mean what a beautiful rig for transporting these vintage busses. Excellent job.
It sounds like a hefty price for a tow, but the expenses that go into a business like that, must be astronomical.

Plus I guess that is a design error allowing shaft wear to drive the fuel pump but not the governor, plus allowing the engine shutoff to depend on air pressure, which I would look into changing the latter, I guess to electric, requiring voltage to keep it running.
Do you think the dirty air filter may have saved the engine?
That’s my Son Jeffrey that works for Absolute Towing he loves his job!
very cool!
Got the whole family cheering for him 🤣
fine job sir. not many people can keep a level head and get a run away diesel shut down and save the engine.
That New Holland is IMPRESSIVE
Saved another bus and engine. BGM success story.
Scott, yet another save! Those tow guys were real pros! Once again you've done a marvelous job with integrity! Thanks!
The brakes are "Long, Long Trailer" Squeaky Happy to see the engine was not damaged by the runaway.
Always impressed at the cohones on that tractor!!!!!!!
Maybe another tractor would have the balls to vive it a shove and a push
Came here to say the same thing! It's the little tractor that can! 😂
Maybe they put a vial of Chuck Norris's sweat in the radiator....

Wow this towing company actually had the right equipment and know how. Great turnaround on this one! You bought the right tractor for the jobs you have.
This is quite a quiet bus with few rattles. Impressive! Nice job on the repair.
I really like the way that bus goes down the road it's very solid !!
Fast thinking owner saved his powerplant, very nicely done,
Shoutout to the transporter's too, great to see pro's with the know how, and the proper equipment to do the job right.

Love a Detroit!
I love the sound of that 92 Series exhaust!!
Great video. You are a true asset to the bus community for jumping in and helping this fellow. That engine sounds really smooth after the repairs. Probably one of the nicest sounding engines I've heard. Very pretty bus.
A very lucky and quick acting bloke. Whoever did that transmission did a good job. The revs that converter locked up at is perfect.
Yay! Finally someone used the proper trailer; a Landoll!
My thoughts exactly 💯. 😊
Well it worked well on this more vintage style bus but a lot of buses would be too tall you get over 14 ft you run into trouble quick the newer buses are still going to require a RGN & even though a bus isn't over weight or width it's still considered a specialized load most owners are less motivated to hire the guys with the real nice equipment because of the money

What an absolutely beautiful bus. Thank you for filming this. It is an absolute joy to watch you to work on a gem like this.
I said it before and I'll say it again you guys are incredible the knowledge you guys know everything about everything and whoever it is that talks on the camera is very humble guy not sure if you guys are all family or friends but the way you guys work together is incredible keep up the very hard work you guys do and the great videos 💪💪
What a beautiful coach! Great job finding the smoking gun and gettin' the fella back on his way.
I don't need to see the 'runaway' as i've already experienced a runaway on my van when the seal blew on the turbo and dumped oil into the chambers. Very, very scary! Ironically, after replacing the turbo and seals my 17 year old van is now running like a swiss watch. Great thinking with the mat. Love that bus by the way.
Another great resuscitation, good thing it was shut down quickly. Your work is legendary in the coach world!
it sounds nice and smooth, great job. The word has got around, there's buses everywhere. Your business has come a long way from when you started driving to jobs. Well done mate.
That is a good running bus! Sounded real smooth on the test drive and he wasn’t sawing at the wheel to keep it going straight
I could notice the effect of the throttle delay function on the control tubes (racks), progressive when fuelled up,,,, oh, and I still have a blower drive shaft 'on the ready' in my kit after all these years.. Great video thanks...
Love the sound of the Detroit diesel. They really were the peak of technology in their day. Also, that truck driver must be a hell of a man to get comment from his big sis and mom below!
This is the brand of bus my dad worked on back in the day. He was a mechanic for Grayling for a few years, well before I was born.
Glad you were able to get it fixed in a short time,nice work Scott…
this is probably my all time favorite bus....beautiful design and restored to perfection......this bus has lots of luv.....cudos to owner....
It’s a pleasure to watch you enjoy what you enjoy doing.
Congrats to you guys on awesome work. And congrats to the owner on QUICK thinking to capture the runaway before doing BIG damage inside the engine!!
I love that little tractor! I'm sure you guys do even more, but I really like the 4x4 idea, and it's a nice size with a cab. Excellent for mowing with the A/C on.
Mowing _and_ towing 😁
As mentioned a few times already, that bus is beautiful ! Nice dash board treatment...
Nice you can see the transport guys know their job very well, and attention to detail, nice to see people actually care about the quality of their work!
Such knowledgeable service! Someone who actually knows what they are talking about and seemingly does not take anything apart that does not need investigation. Refreshing! Cost of driving one of these things has to be out there, but it must be a thrill, nonetheless!
That motor just purrs! I love it. Sounds so good.
Used to run one of those detroits in the fire truck I drove. You will never forget that sound.
I have been enjoyed watching your channel for a few years, can't believe you are only at 170K subs. Thanks for keeping those great old engines and busses alive! I was hoping to get into an older bus years ago but wife's health issues squashed that for now.
Hi 👋 Scott u have a good tractor glad to see it tow a big bus up ur hill to the shop safely ❤from ur subscriber Peter from SC May The Good Lord Bless u & ur family May his spirit shine upon u & ur family
Great job - as always! - Scott. What robust engines those old things are! And that one had a great exhaust sound 🙂
What a gorgeous machine and a great save.
I love how accessible and serviceable the engine is. New vehicles are getting to be Impossible to service or repair.
well what ever its cost to get it there was worth every penny because its not only fixed with experience & knowledge its real passion and only fixed what`s broken unlike a lot of other places that would have pulled it to bits and maybe even said it would need a new engine pleasure to watch
MY NEW FAVORITE CHANNEL! love the videos and the great info from them!
The little tractor that did! Great video.
One of the best looking busses you’ve had in lately. He’s lucky the engine didn’t blow up on runaway.
3000 tow... half of what I paid for a whole running driving PD4104, granted that Flexible is pretty nice. That's a very interesting failure totally not what I expected.
If I owned a bus, you would be the only place I would use for repairs!!
That is one sweet sounding Detroit.
Clint (C&C Equip) Scott needs something with more HPs to pull these toys up Mt Rwenzori ... Tha NH manages but imagine if the road was wet . Good video guys . You WIN again
I was thankful Scott hadn't just put down a foot of new gravel.
I have worked in a corner street garage and when they towed in a truck that ran out of diesel, they wanted to try starting it with ether, I started it by bleeding the injector lines😊

Our tires are liquid filled. It’s much safer here on the hilly terrain to help keep the center of gravity low too
runnin that granny gear up that hill- wow - and like the others have said - beautiful bus
Crazy. Turbo and a blower. Nice
Great detective work Sir !
Those 6V92's are little rockets 🚀
8’s are better ;)
I love it❤❤Greetings from Hamburg, Germany

@@BusGreaseMonkey Roger that! Makes sense.
That is an unusual failure. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blower drive fail like that resulting in a runaway.
Curious as to how that blower drive got stripped. Never seen a runaway like that! Good that nothing got damaged and the owner got it shut down quickly. Most would be freaking out and standing by until stuff came flying out.
That is EXACTLY how a bus should sound!
Best tow I've seen on this channel. I only recall one other (Lance's) that wasn't really bad.
Love that Detroit diesel sound. Nothing compares to it.

Watching an old bus being winched off a trailer with rapt attention...this truly is the future of entertainment
Thanks, I realized after watching more closely that the turbo sits right on top. Great content!
Great service Scott!
When you pull the emergency stop on a 71 series engine it can strip the blower shaft .

What a great sound that thing makes! 😁
Excellent results as always.
You gave that tractor a hot supper!
...you have set the slowest time for the hill climb!
That 6V71 is Lucky lucky and ultra lucky. Great work as always Scott.
It's a 6V92TA
Scott another happy bus owner.
That tow company was great they had the proper equipment and actually took pride in there work.
A little late seeing this video, but that 6V92 sounds BRILLIANT!
