Another satisfied customer and thanks to you Scott it’s much safer to drive with All the brakes working in good order and all the air leaks fixed. And you have a good place to check the parking brakes too. Wishing Y’all a Blessed weekend to the both of y’all.
Thanks for educating the owner on the brakes. As a retired heavy equipment mechanic and now a part time coach and semi driver I have noticed many don’t know what they don’t know. It’s nice to see owners educated and taught to respect air brakes.
Hi my Dad drove for Greyhound for 34 years. An Irish immigrant. My brothers and I would play hide and seek on the scenicruiser... it was also the first vehicle i ever steered from my Dads lap. He was there all the way to the mci 9.
I said it once before in the live-stream it would’ve been nice if u would’ve videotaped u telling the owner on the phone & us hearing his response of the Viewers helping so much with paying towards his Bill or in this video u capturing his actually response of u telling the owner about the viewers donating for his Bill helping him & the band! It’s really nice to help someone I must say I like HELPING SOMEONE MORE THAN THEM HELPING ME!!!! Especially during what’s going on rite now I’m the world!!!! I Love that U,Kelly & Tyler are ALWAYS SO ❤️POSITIVE!!!!❤️ Especially rite now!!! It’s so NEGATIVE OUT IN THE WORLD RITE NOW!!!
well i say farewell/good-bye to both buses the mci mc7 and the detroit greyhound bus and you be sure if you both need anyone more repairs you go to scott because he is the best and thankyou scott for this video and showing the mci mc7 going up that beautiful hill to the top where awesome" lenny" is sitting it's always a treat and pleasure seeing your tennessee propert so take care and by for now until next video or live stream i hope i don't miss the next one hehe. from your friend Randy.ontario,canada p.s stay safe .
I spent 4 tours in Iraq, After all my missions, the morning time and have breakfast to face a new day was the only normality I can remember. The wafting smog of Diesel among the dew, the silence of the earth, the distant rumble of lifters chimes providing power to our distant place of solitude. To this day the smell of Diesel warms my thoughts. "There's nothing like the smell of Diesel in the morning" I still say this every time I pass a running generator or Detroit.
@@trs-80fanclub12 i get to smell that wonderful diesel smelll every time i start up my 97 Volvo V70 5 cylinder diesel wagon. Also being in the Military i loved the smell of diesel in the moring and the sound that goes with it.
That Scenic is so pretty, and the MCI sounds fantastic! Scott, I noticed a whine inside the MCI that sounded just like Juan's bus before you changed the power steering fluid. Does his need similar service, or is that normal on that bus? Just personal interest (like HEY! I can diagnose a bus now! 😂😂)
Personally I never had a chance to, but the drivers I’ve met who had, said it was the most stable coach they’d ever driven, with those two sets of duels on the rear. Next in line was the MC-7, which was my personal favorite out of my experience.
@@tageuhl6422 ... I don't think the tag axle is dual wheels, tags are usually just single wheels, the duals ahead do the driving. True tag axles on buses can be lifted when in tight situations or running empty. I might be mistaken, but I watched as the Scenicruiser began the descent from the top of the hill, and I'm fairly certain that it's not duallies on the very back. Hard to be sure because can't get higher than 720p resolution for whatever reason....
Stan Patterson the one you are referring to does not. In the early video the owner explains his choice to only run singles, saving money on tires. He and Scott do a short history of the Cruiser in that video besides. The only point I didn’t hear was that though the luggage bays were purposely larger to accommodate freight, part of the fleet also had a door up top at the right rear and the back seats were removed to accommodate even more freight. Every PD-4501 Scenic Cruiser was built with doubles tires on the tag axle though.
To measure the grade of your hill. Mark your level at the 12 inch mark from the end of the level. Then place the end of level on the high side of hill and level off the bubble. Then measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the level at the 12 inch mark. That would be the percentage of the grade of your hill. I'm going to say between 6-7 % grade. Let me know what it is.
I was about to comment right before you said about the blocks. I was going to say...is anyone in there? The buss ran away once already! Yes I saw you fixed it. Do you use wheel chocks when you park on any grade?
I'm curious about what appears to be a cracked windscreen on the driver's side of the bus. Is this allowed or was it a protective film on the inside of the screen?
SC Jimmy cold start smoke, makes them giant 10lb mosquitoes grow. Them's the ones that argue over whether they'es going to eat you right here or hauls ya'll off to the brush for a late night snack. That SC is heavy, can here the gravel snapping cracking and complaining. Road the Grey Dogs back in the 1960s in the military, cheap transportation then. Pocketed the money saved over plane tickets. Whine of the Jimmy's was great to sleep by, always road in back more stable smoother ride, no rock and roll, crazy drivers.
@@BusGreaseMonkey Oh I see now. I didn't have enough time to finish the live video. Just saw it. Nice. The Blue Devils drum and bugle corps used buses like that in the early 80's, man they were something to see
no one could count how many people would have been injured or killed with out your dedication to brakes and axles..... there sure is a lot of poor workmanship on stuff you get to repair correctly...
those serviced by decals are a nice touch, pride in ones work is a nice thing.

You need a Detroit powered generator that smokes like that to keep the bugs away while you work.
Scott you are truly an expert on these bus brakes another safe bus on the road. Have a restful and well deserved Father’s Day!
Those old Detroits sound amazing esp when whistling from the rear of a classic bus
The SCENIC CRUISER WAS DOING TICK PREVENTION THIS MORNING 😳😬🤣😂😷

I love all the Greyhound logo and signage on the Scenic Cruiser. What a spectacular bus. It sure was the way to sit back and enjoy the scenery.
Dem Detroit"s sure make some purddy music...could listen to em all day!! Thank you for sharing another great video!!!
Love the way your confidence is in your work. Good job.
Another job .." DONE WELL "..! Lenny is proud of you Guys Scott and Kelly...
Tom is one heck of a songwriter and composer.....the theme song sound be a gold record!!

So, you love the smell of partially burn't Diesel in the morning.

I love the beautiful busses from the sixties and seventies the beautiful stainless steel sides and crome.
and yet again, another great success story!! Nice job Scott
Happy brakes on the MCI!! But the windshield has seen better days...LOL
O man love how it looks I mean it seems to handel the road fine excellent job
Good Job on brakes Scott well done from Robbie Melbourne Australia 👍👍👍👍
The smell of burnt diesel is addictive. And the sound of that 8v71 smh... ❤ ooo mercy.
Breezed up that hill - plenty of power - just as well all the brakes work now!!
Yahoo older Toro with a good B&S engine keep that mower as long you can..Jim in co.
MCI exhaust is angled downward. Between that and running the AC you can kick-up some major dust on your drive.
good luck be well and safe travels!
I keep falling in love with Silver side buses
Lenny is the DC3 and the scenic is the constellation....... both beautiful
I love the smell of diesel in the morning!!!
Smells like victory.
Every time I see a bus going up your driveway I think of the movie coal miners daughter that is so cool ...
I see a mad genius here you have a dyno hill then a brake test hill hoping for future multiple level bus slips and apparently with a great view
Car shows in upstate NY all canceled. Lucky to have one to go to..
Great work and great videos! Good times!
Gorgeous Scenicruiser!! 🚌
The MCI has a sweet sound coming up the hill.
Love that MCI mc7 silversides and ends!!!
The MCI is going to need front glass . Noticed that the scenic cruiser has more of a turn angle ?
That Scenic is so pretty, and the MCI sounds fantastic!
Scott, I noticed a whine inside the MCI that sounded just like Juan's bus before you changed the power steering fluid. Does his need similar service, or is that normal on that bus? Just personal interest (like HEY! I can diagnose a bus now! 😂😂)
Looks like The Farm Hands bus could use a windshield. How difficult is it to get windshield glass for an MCI?
Good question.
Mike Mullay It’s not difficult at all. They made so many of them.
Love those buses, its a shame they are no longer in use as regular pasenger transport.
Another satisfied customer... Hey will the BAND be playing your song?
That Scenicruiser looks more like a train than a bus. An impressive machine.
Probably why he's swapping a Cummins into it
@@edwardsilva895 I'll bet that thing is a thrill to drive.

Damn, I love ScenicCruisers
Where, how do you source windshield glass for these vintage buses?
Lotsa Greyhound History, in the hills of Tennessee. It's that Bus Grease Monkey. dontcha know!
_Another Satisfied Customer_
I like that MCI . Would not mind having one just like it .
Nothing like the smell of diesel in the morning.
Awesome sounds!
Were the brake lights working on the MCI? Didn't see them when it went down the hill. I could see the brake lights on the Sceniccruiser fine.
When YOU KNO YOU LOVE YOUR WORK AHH FRESH DIESEL IN THE MORNING'S !!!!
To measure the grade of your hill. Mark your level at the 12 inch mark from the end of the level. Then place the end of level on the high side of hill and level off the bubble.

20%
That 8V71 sounds great, could use a new bug screen.
That looks like a horribly cracked driver side windshield on the MCI. Isn't that a tad dangerous. The Scenicruiser was a gorgeous bus.
What happened to the windshield 😳
Another happy customer 👍🚌🔧🐵
Is Lenny still fertile? Keep an eye on them. That's gonna make a lot of noise - one big metal climbing on the other.
You won’t need to spray for mosquitoes today!
i love that diesel smell early in the moring :)
Job well done! 😁👍
You need good brakes.
I thought you normally did a test run on a bus that you had done brake work on to make sure the brakes are not overheating.
Awesome decal
Well done!
He drove Boston to Ny ny. Then Boston to Bangor ME .the last 8 years.
I was about to comment right before you said about the blocks. I was going to say...is anyone in there? The buss ran away once already! Yes I saw you fixed it.
Do you use wheel chocks when you park on any grade?
Did the Scenicruiser go down the hill with only brakes and not in gear?
The owner is a retired truck driver. There’s no way he’d go down a hill in neutral.
@@dttprice There did not seem to be any difference in revs as he went down the steep part. Maybe he is that good!!
Automatic trans isn’t the same as a manual trans going down hill
AHH THE SMELL OF TRUCK STOP IN THE MORNIN 🚌🚍
Well done
That ought to knock the mosquitoes out for a bit. 🤣🤣
that hill its great buss test
So Cool ! !
Nothing better than the smell of burnt diesel in the morning.
Steering seems to drive like an old ford rag joint ?
...it smells great here though...👍
I'm curious about what appears to be a cracked windscreen on the driver's side of the bus. Is this allowed or was it a protective film on the inside of the screen?
It's completely allowed right up until the state highway patrol catches you LOL
@@terrystewart2070 I like it!
Scott you don't have to have a fogger just start the buses up and no running mouth
That is a big rock on someone's finger.
There's your mosquito fogger...8V71!
Now Henry is an attractive white bus.
Scenicruiser - single drive axle with tag?
Yes
@@edwardsilva895 Thanks.
What’s unusual about a Scenicruiser is that the tag axle has dual wheels. Most busses have singles on the tag axle.
What's the deal with the wind shield
It’s cracked!
SC Jimmy cold start smoke, makes them giant 10lb mosquitoes grow. Them's the ones that argue over whether they'es going to eat you right here or hauls ya'll off to the brush for a late night snack.

Is that a Buffalo?
Show 👏🇧🇷
WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE THE INSIDE OF THE OLD GREYHOUND
You didn’t watch all of our videos
@@BusGreaseMonkey Oh I see now. I didn't have enough time to finish the live video. Just saw it. Nice. The Blue Devils drum and bugle corps used buses like that in the early 80's, man they were something to see
You could narrate golf (and first)
Here is your reward:
🍪
👍🏼🤘🏼😎
I swear air brakes sound like a blow off valve on a turbo car.
What's a "blow off valve"? Is that the same as a wastegate ?
Cracked windshield wont pass dot im guessing
It broke 1st trip out after replacing it. That makes it hard to fix
no one could count how many people would have been injured or killed with out your dedication to brakes and axles..... there sure is a lot of poor workmanship on stuff you get to repair correctly...
Looked like the brake lights weren't working on the MCI.
Yes they were
lol he ant never had no breaks before //
Mosquito fogger.. just fire up that engine and scare or smoke them out..
0.35.............thats how u fumigate for ticks.
That's one big toy for sure
Put it in gear, Dude, you don't ride the brakes down a hill.
It was in gear but it’s an automatic and the torque converter wants it to go 3x faster then you want to down that thing
