Because of you, Scott, I’m buying a bus and picking it up this Thursday in Arizona. I live in Orlando. If only I had more room. I’ve caught the bus bug...Thanks.
Hi Scott, Kelly,Juan and Michelle. Looks like you can see light at the end of the tunnel on your bus. The weather looks nice it has been snowing in indiana.thank you all for the video.
i am living in the 4106 I bought last year. the trip home is the scariest part. i would suggest you buy a coachnet membership before you get it.I am glad I did. I used it multiple times on trip home. all you need is the vin to sign up. good luck.
You guys do fine for working in the field. Originally Greyhound repaired their own units in huge garages. They could put them on huge 2-piston lifts or drive them up on concrete ramps with a pit underneath. I think small carriers probably sent their buses to Greyhound to be serviced and repaired under contract.
Just a thought, I had to replace air bags on my 1967 Eagle 1 and I put a strap and ratchet around the airbag to compress it while inserting the new bags and worked like a charm!
Gosh, I'd never want a bus honestly because just even a SUV scares me to drive. But seeing these videos are fun and stuff as it's almost the polar oppositie of what I'm into. Mopeds, scooters that are high revving for power is my sort of fun. Small cars too like a Ford Festiva. Remember that 3 cylinder yanmar you worked on? I'd want one in a Geo metro. Keep enabling your owners ability to make good content Lenny!
G'day Kevin here from Australia. Great video thankyou for sharing. Your bus has really come a long way its a credit to you, Scott and everyone involved. ✌ Peace guys
Hi Scott, As Paul mentioned, I've caught the bus bug as well. Looking for a later production 4104, maybe 59-60 but not picky. If you happen to have any leads, please let me know. Thank you! I have thoroughly enjoyed your channel!
For the front spindle, isn't there a speedi sleeve or something to go over? It sure seems pretty grooved. The new seal won't last as long with a spindle like that IMHO.
HI SCOTT!! I watch both of you guys' channels . I didn't know he was in Gilbert ( Phoenix ) I'm in TUCSON !! I missed so videos 'cause I had the "BELL" was off .
Never-seize. Copper infused is your friend in any rust belt travels.As far as driving your wiper tool stemco makes it....check out there website.Good investment for you
Peter G. You need common sense on usage. Living and being a heavy tk mechanic at a dealership for many years in the rust belt i used it extensively on many repairs jobs.
OMG Put a ratchet strap around those air bags to collapse them, insert, hook up your air hose, then pop the strap off!!!!!!! Sorry- I was yelling as loud as I could!!
Not trying to be negative here but why do you never use air tools? I’ve been a School bus tech for over two decades and whenever I would go out on mobile runs I would simply run air tools off the main air tank for the air brake system thereby eliminating the need to carry an extra air compressor for mobile repairs. With the amount of repairs you do it would be very nice to have that 90-125 lbs of air to use; even if it’s just used for blowing off parts and dirt from areas like the brakes, hubs and those shock mounts. Just put a simple cheap water filter in line before the air tools or air nozzle so any oil or water from the air brake system won’t contaminate your tools or the parts you are cleaning.
@R Mel Repairs on a bus get expensive ,,I've owned mine for a little over a year now and i just spent $500 on a pair of rear drums ,, i have the exact same bus as Scott drives ,,and i am looking at an MC9 what i will convert myself into an RV
@Wayne Swicegood i wouldn't buy a modern coach anyhow ,, the MC9 i just looked at is still not considered modern and i decided to pass on it after i had it inspected by a competent mechanic for this reason because it needs $15000 in repairs just to be roadworthy to the minimum safety standards ,i can get something better than that , eventually the right bus will come along maybe i'll come across a 4104 or 4106 something not quite as big as the MC9 ,,around where i live there aren't a lot of these buses around ,,and i have been looking gradually increasing distances from my home i'm out past 200 miles now
10:51 There's a guy somewhere in China named Baldwin. 12:22 Can't you just adjust the line lengths so that they're the same and put the T wherever you want?
I thought those supports you were welding in we're bolted in originally? Please remind your audience to never look at the welding flash while it's occurring, provided they are actually present. It can be extremely painful several hours later. Raw potato juice can help effect some relief if it does happen for some reason.
Welding arc produces huge amounts of UV light which will sunburn your eyeballs. We’re used to skin sunburn which happens while welding as well but we don’t stare into the sun so most people aren’t aquatinted with retinal sunburn. I can tel you from experience it hurts... I was young and my dad worked manufacturing...
Why? MIG produces much better welds than stick and TIG is better than MIG. The external shielding gas is better than the coated rods which put bubbles in your weld.

What year bus?
1961 4106
@@Pauls-World Cool are you going to do a you tube video on it? I hope so.

Awesome job on cleaning and painting undercarriage suspension

Nope we’ve had our own repair shops for years.
What a difference in ride, safety, and dependability all those repairs will make once it’s on the road again
I couldn't hear the conversation at the beginning of this video but it must have been funny, everyone was laughing! Looking good guys and gals!

Well, there’s one in my boat and it makes 27 hp full throttle and it weighs 400 lbs. Noisy beast but it keeps running
G'day Kevin here from Australia.
Great video thankyou for sharing. Your bus has really come a long way its a credit to you, Scott and everyone involved.
✌ Peace guys
Hopefully Gilbert AZ GM Bus 4106 gives you a big bonus, you've earned it! Very good work!
Yes
Better than factory
You're doing great work. Can't wait till it's done, It's very satisfying seeing the progress. 👍🏻
Hello from Spain , looking great guys !
Awesome video thank you
Starting to come together nicely👍🚌🔧🐵
Yes it is.

12:36 Really good synopsis and overview of the project and the details of issues & the repairs is always an interesting part these videos.
Juan and family should have many miles of safe travels on this gorgeous bus.
Hope you guys are ready for the rain , that storm front has moved in pretty quick .
Jason Ketchum we already been flooding here in southern Wv....and more on the way the next three days..
@@rustymullins6623 thumbs down cause no more rain . When it rains I can't work when I can't work I make no money !
Like all the shiny new parts.....
buying a old 50s era bus in the morning not sure what brand i think its a diamond rio
For the front spindle, isn't there a speedi sleeve or something to go over? It sure seems pretty grooved. The new seal won't last as long with a spindle like that IMHO.
HI SCOTT!! I watch both of you guys' channels . I didn't know he was in Gilbert ( Phoenix ) I'm in TUCSON !! I missed so videos 'cause I had the "BELL" was off .
That bus is gonna float down the road like a Cadillac now.
Excellent camera work! Have you ever used a mirror to add additional lighting? I use it on stuff allot.
jeffersonspace wow I never thought of that. That’s a great idea
Never-seize. Copper infused is your friend in any rust belt travels.As far as driving your wiper tool stemco makes it....check out there website.Good investment for you
scott Baker careful though, there’s plenty of situations where it’s actually worse than nothing
Peter G. You need common sense on usage. Living and being a heavy tk mechanic at a dealership for many years in the rust belt i used it extensively on many repairs jobs.
Reliably squishy once again!
OMG Put a ratchet strap around those air bags to collapse them, insert, hook up your air hose, then pop the strap off!!!!!!! Sorry- I was yelling as loud as I could!!
Fun to watch👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As much as I dreamed of owning a 4104/4106 for many years, I prefer to work on computers!
Me too, I like being indoors when doing the MIG welding, and the binary transmission fluid does not go all over the floor :)
Scott, what brand of welder are you using there... and what is it's heat range?... how many volts & amps?
Was wondering why you didnt use anti-seize on the bolts for the air bags?
Because those never need it. Never fought those ever on these rolling lobe airbags.
Can you change to salf adjusting brake slack adjusters?
Not trying to be negative here but why do you never use air tools?
I’ve been a School bus tech for over two decades and whenever I would go out on mobile runs I would simply run air tools off the main air tank for the air brake system thereby eliminating the need to carry an extra air compressor for mobile repairs.

We have an air available and used it several times on this job but mostly use high power battery tools when we need em
What transmission does it have? V730?
Do you ever use never size on those bolts on the under carrige?
Or threadlocker.
Gilbert hosts an Airshow for War birds doesn't it?
That welding hurt my ears lol. I'm so use to tight welding aluminum all day that has to get x-rayed after. As long as its strong and safe though.
A lot of work but they should have a reliable bus for many years when it’s done
Holy Wieners!! Where's your 90 degree battery ratchet??? I have trouble watching you crank that socket!!
Weld'er up!
20 grand? repairs?
R Mel a few videos back Juan said they were up to about $6000 for repairs. Not sure if that’s factoring in Scott’s labour.
@R Mel Repairs on a bus get expensive ,,I've owned mine for a little over a year now and i just spent $500 on a pair of rear drums ,, i have the exact same bus as Scott drives ,,and i am looking at an MC9 what i will convert myself into an RV
Another way to look at this is 20+ years of deferred maintenance, done all at once.
wildcoyote34 If you think these older coaches are expensive don’t ever buy a modern one . They’ll break your heart, soul, and wallet.
@Wayne Swicegood i wouldn't buy a modern coach anyhow ,, the MC9 i just looked at is still not considered modern and i decided to pass on it after i had it inspected by a competent mechanic for this reason because it needs $15000 in repairs just to be roadworthy to the minimum safety standards ,i can get something better than that , eventually the right bus will come along
maybe i'll come across a 4104 or 4106 something not quite as big as the MC9 ,,around where i live there aren't a lot of these buses around ,,and i have been looking gradually increasing distances from my home i'm out past 200 miles now
Welding the shock bolts in from loosening ?
He drilled holes and added new bolts. But just to make it even stronger he welded new heads on the broken studs that were there.
How are those welded studs going to be removed next time?
@@joshfazenbaker5691 Torch
10:51 There's a guy somewhere in China named Baldwin. 12:22 Can't you just adjust the line lengths so that they're the same and put the T wherever you want?
Yes the lines must be the same length it who wants a bunch of coiled up line just sitting there. Put it closer to the middle
I thought those supports you were welding in we're bolted in originally? Please remind your audience to never look at the welding flash while it's occurring,
provided they are actually present. It can be extremely painful several hours later.
Raw potato juice can help
effect some relief if it does happen for some reason.
That’s only a problem for the next guy changing them.....
Next guy? LOL - nothing a silicon carbide wrench or a torch-wrench can’t loosen.
But I admit I was pretty puzzled with that welding.
Welding arc produces huge amounts of UV light which will sunburn your eyeballs. We’re used to skin sunburn which happens while welding as well but we don’t stare into the sun so most people aren’t aquatinted with retinal sunburn. I can tel you from experience it hurts...

use a stick welder please
Why? Mig is easier, just as strong and the metal they are welding on is too thin for stick welding.
@@vector6977 because mig is not for upside down welding , it fill the nozzle with slag, I been welding for 45 years,any one can use a mig
Why? MIG produces much better welds than stick and TIG is better than MIG. The external shielding gas is better than the coated rods which put bubbles in your weld.
@@kennethmcknight8995 for what they are doing it is just fine, a little more nozzle cleaning is better than chipping away all the slag.
