You have to be the best Bus Mechanic I have ever seen, I am defiantly addicted to your videos I an auto mech. for most of my adult life, so I have come to enjoy your videos,
certainly a good thing he stopped by your place GM with all that rust. and we know you give to neighbors straight talk. of course CONGRATULATIONS🎊 to your daughter and her husband, and you and your wife with that beautiful baby miracle blessing 🎉💐 just startin her life. So nice😌
Congratulations to you and Kelly on becoming Grandparents. It’s an exciting time, my wife and I can’t wait for our first granddaughter in a months time😍
Having 3 myself I can say it is great. You get all the good of Having a little kid around and when the fun wears off you can tell their parents it's time for them to leave!!!!!!
Welcome to the Grandparents club! I have three myself and consider myself very, very blessed. They grow like weeds and it seems like just a week ago my 13 year old Granddaughter was making her debut. Tell them how much you love them at every opportunity.
That's where I'm from. Traverse City Michigan. Beautiful country tho a tad cold even in June. Love that Big Blue Flexi. Congratulations on the new Grandbaby. I just found out recently I have my first GreatGrandson.
@Ronnie Heit I discovered Traverse City some years ago while driving otr truck and literally FELL IN LOVE with the place!!! I’d love to vacation there soon
@@joeljenkins2876. Sadly, just like Valle Colorado the rich moved in, took over driving housing costs thru the roof and almost impossible for middle income people to live there.

Now days it's actually cheaper to live in Miami. Tropical fruits and standard vegetables are seriously cheaper here. Plus at 67 I'm not really interested in shoveling snow or wearing 4 to 5 layers of clothes. Summer hear you acclimate to. It's a matter of shade and near constant breezes from offshore, air conditioning and swimming in the ocean.
When I worked at a Peterbilt/GMC dealer, we would back off the hub nuts to a few remaining threads and hit the hub with a 16lb sledge. All the tapered keys would come flying right out....Good luck.
I like to hear a straight drive Detroit. I drove a 4103, 4104 and a 4107 for a college choir years ago. Loved rowing through the gears and hearing the Detroit revving up.
Hello Scott! Those humble Harbor Freight pneumatic jacks are cool! I hope the owner figures out a way to tackle that frame welding and fabrication, she's a nice looking Flxible!
Well I know Dan wasn’t happy about retiring his FLX. But, the replacement FLXIBLE bus is really beautiful . Maybe he can find a good home for the other one and someone will be willing to tackle those rust issues.
He posted in the Flxible owners group when he picked that new one up! I got extremely lucky with my 61 Flxible Hi-level. Was hidden in a garage here in Indiana. A true barn find. Mine is solid. I just need to pull the clutch and run down to my friends at Ky Clutch and freshen it up. Not slipping but previous owner has chattered it bad. Very bad lol I just wanna find a set of those wrap arounds for the back!
Congratulations Scott and Kelly on becoming grand parents and to congratulations to your daughter and her husband on the birth of a beautiful baby girl
As always a great video... you do know that if you put the nuts on and hit the center of the axle with a sledge hammer it will pus the collars and axle out enough to pull them off right?? That is what those 2 raised areas on the outside of the flange are for.
Being grand parents is the best bit , I’m sure you and Kelly will love it We have 3 granddaughters and they are the best I look forward to every time I can see them 😍😍👍👍
I'm benzene sick had a hard too see you as lost one eye and having out right eye. Just keep your safe from Kitchener Ontario Canada it 23 F April 9 2022 10 :00 Pm
The new bus he purchased looks nice especially the polished lacquered aluminium. The new bus has had a lot of welding done to it and runs well so it seems to be a good purchase..depending on how much he paid for it.
that is exactly what my 60' Hi-level looked like when we got it, it took the welder and I,both welding, and patching to repair it in the rear. the front steel had been replaced already, what a job, my engine mounts were gone also.
@@BusGreaseMonkey his new flexible is absolutely gorgeous tho!! Is he gonna keep and fix the old one or sell as is or does he know yet Scott? Thank you for another great video Scott!!
Hi Scott...I have been off of your channel for many months. I feel like I sold my soul to the devil and got an off road-ish travel trailer that I also got solared up vice a bus :-( But, for the next 5 years, we will exclusively be boondocking out in CO and the immediate surrounding states. It is still really educational to watch your videos! I appreciate them a lot. Congrats on your grand daughter. That is incredible. Safe travels....and the driveway in Ouray CO is always open for you!
G'day, Great video guys. I was going to say I hope the owner finds someone in the bus community to help out welding up his bus but wow what a beautiful bus he purchased. And I hope his old bus can go to someone able to keep her on the road. ✌️ Peace from Australia.
I know you said those axles hadn't been out in a while, and I'm sure you've removed way more than I ever have. Did a few on some dump trucks and road tractors. We always just smacked the axle right in the center a couple of times and it would "bounce" those cones or wedges whatever you want to call them, out far enough to stick a big screwdriver in the split to spread them and pull them right off. But they were never as Rusty looking as that thing.
Congraz Scott for becoming a grandparent. The rust issues on the bus are serious. In some countries they redeem such rust as the vehicle being unsafe for transport. Also cause it's structural rust it means it can collapse at some point. The New bus dose look much nicer
Hi Scott and Kelly, We had a windstorm come thur Sunday night and blew the neighbors tree over on our roof. Because of the age of our roof besides the damaged trusses we are getting the entire roof replaced. We were going to get a loan to do it. Crazy how some things work out like this.
@@Morpheen999 Loan was probably for a new roof before the storm damaged it and the insurance pays off. Not many people have thousands tucked away for roof replacements!
I guess I should have clarified. Our home owners insurance will cover the totally roof repair and rerouting. We were going to get a loan but now don't need to. We are looking into one to get a newer RV still
Congratulations Pappy and MeeMaw!! Gotta say I loved seeing that little Miata in there too! I've got a red 1990 NA to contrast my 1938 Buick. Love 'em both! Retirement is still several years away, but I'd love to add a Wanderlodge to the stable by then. :-) Love the videos! Hello from a Georgian, transplanted to Cleveland, OH.
His replacement bus is beautiful, and I love the style of the Flxible buses. So is the rust issue from living life in the northern states, where they use salt on the roads, or just a manufacturing problem? I am learning so much from watching your videos, on what to look for before purchasing a bus. Congratulations on the grandbaby, we are raising two grandsons, sometimes I wish that we could have had the grandchildren first lol, not really.
Glad to see you guys are happy new granpappy and memaw! I am sure this will bring you some joy in your life! Glad to see Dan is able to continue his travels with that “new” Flxi, that bus looks amazing! Curious about the power train now, you kind of left us hanging!
In the UK we have places called MOT STATIONS where you have to take your bus, car etc each year to be inspected to find out any problems like rust broken spring suspension etc .If they find anything you are not allowed to put that vechile on the road until it if fixed. then you take the car etc back to get a pass so you can go back on the road.
Where I live in Ontario, Canada, only commercial vehicles must be inspected annually. Private ones only need certification at the time of purchase and transfer of ownership. The idea of annual inspections on all (private) vehicles does appeal (somewhat) to me, so long as the inspection would be at someone else's cost (like the Ministry to Transportation, who would not be tempted to dupe the owners into un-needed costly repairs) , and could be trusted to be fair and honest. Obviously, the owner would have to be willing to pay for necessary upkeep. If the annual inspection was failed, the owner would be obligated to repair or cause the repairs to be performed, then return to the Ministry for subsequent re-inspection and (hopefully) pass.
Congrats on grand baby. We got 13. Looks like NH plates hence the rust, we’re from that corner of the country. I made tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on rust repair.
Great videos... you do know that the center of those axles have that raised part so you can hit them with a sledgehammer to break the axles loose ... also if you keep the nuts on the cones will come out with the axle.
Hi Scott We in UK has lots of water but steel parts rust out here ad well, may be keep some parts of spare or sell off what th can, before scraping if it that close to do so
Both. It was a northern bus, it was in service around Toledo and Detroit its entire working life, and Flx’s are like Eagles, lots of regular steel in the framing.

How about a video on removing and reriveting those beautiful side panels, even if someone else does the work?
Congratulations Scott to you and Kelly on your grand child very cute…
Congratulations to you all. 👏 Great news. 👍
I wish I had a bus. I'm living in a minivan at 64 and partially disabled and broke. One day.
I know you said those axles hadn't been out in a while, and I'm sure you've removed way more than I ever have. Did a few on some dump trucks and road tractors.

I worked at a truck leasing co. and all our stuff took serious time to get those fucking wedges out! In Milwaukee,Wisconsin.

Cummins ISX L10 and a 740 auto
@@dadesigns4u Well that will motivate that Flxi down the road, not quite as nice a sound as a Detroit but a good engine nonetheless!
Feels like a race car to me! Still a mechanical diesel, but I will definitely miss that 2-stroke sound.

Nice bus, Dan!
Hi Scott from west Alabama
Nice and simple good bearings...structurally not sound.
Congratulations on the new grandchild.
I guess Flxible's become flexible overtime.
Great videos... you do know that the center of those axles have that raised part so you can hit them with a sledgehammer to break the axles loose ... also if you keep the nuts on the cones will come out with the axle.
That works almost never and with great effort wasted in every attempt. Tried it hundreds of times with very little success rate
Hi Scott
We in UK has lots of water but steel parts rust out here ad well, may be keep some parts of spare or sell off what th can, before scraping if it that close to do so
Congratulations 🦋
When I see episodes like this I'm excited my son is taking a welding class this summer!
We will be moving to East Tennessee soon to await the birth of our first grandchild. It is a boy.
Congratulations Grandma and Grandpa. 😎
Congrats on duh grand babie she's beautiful !
That new bus is sharp and will last both of their lives.
I looked at a couple of 15 to 20 year old RV diesel pushers. Rust was my biggest concern, so I didn't buy any of them.
Thanks for sharing..
Grandchildren makes the heartache of raising our kids worth it all. Spoil em good!
Welcome to the Grandpa club!
Congrats on the G-baby.
Wow~Good Thing~The Bus was Brought In, & not a Moment Too Soon!
But at Least he found that Beautiful New Toy...
those rust stains coming from the wheel studs is a warning of something loose
Can be a sign, but no it’s all tight. Just chipped paint on the rims
Did i see that guy in quartzsite over winter?
Awesome
That one was pretty messed up...
Wow--a lot of rust on the Flex. Is that due to the bus being run on salted roadways in the winter, or is that a common Flex problem across the board?
The color reminds me of a Toronto Transit Commission bus, but i don't think they had buses like this.
Both. It was a northern bus, it was in service around Toledo and Detroit its entire working life, and Flx’s are like Eagles, lots of regular steel in the framing.
That paint scheme was from deluxe motor stages out of Detroit.
