There's nothing more beautiful than the sound of a cold international t444e turning over! And when it fires! You'll notice the difference between it and a 7.3 powerstroke. For some reason t444e always sounded metallic-like starting, idling. It just had its own characteristics to it.
I rode on conventional Carpenters growing up in Gwinnett County, GA but there was a sub driver who had a Thomas with an International engine. It was green on the inside.
I rode on that type of bus back when I was a toddler, in 1st grade, kindergarten, and high school (the last day for me was March 12, 2020, due to the pandemic)
Wow, this is very similar to my 25' 1986 International S1700 school bus. Its 1 window longer than yours, or I should say 1 window more. Operator station looks almost identical. I have a 6.9 idi in mine. The left box is not as fancy though. I do not have a tac lol. Other than that its almost the same! Same wheels too. I wish i had the crossing guard.
We have some school buses for sale here in Lubbock, Texas at Durham School Services which are owned by Lubbock Independent School District. There are 2 with lot numbers, one is a International & the other is a Freightliner & I took a picture today when I was at work of the international. Just thought I'd let you know.
I have a 1993 international 3800 series school bus Thomas built body dt360 engine with a spicer 5 speed it has hydralic brakes and it blew a line running to the back I need to pickup a line and repair it but i cant figure what size it is other than it could be 1/4 line with 7/16-28 fittings but to me that seems kinda small because it's such a big vehicle does anyone know?
That doesn’t look like a 2000 Thomas school bus it looks more like a 1993 Thomas school bus but it does say it’s a 2000 Thomas school bus so I can’t really complain. But the reason it looks like an early 90s Thomas school bus is by the old school rims and the old school steering wheel
@@TommyRetro at my school we ave 76 passenger IC buses and they are rated with 3 people to a seat plus 2 or 3 standing up in the back. its never that full but thats how it is rated
@DaReble. The way they’ve got it set up at our district is 3 for K-5 and 2 per person for grades 6-12 but let’s be honest here. A high schooler could have an entire seat to himself just be sitting sideways instead of forwards.
