That young lady's work ethic is impressive, besides the fact she knows how to turn a wrench too! Just a thought Scott, when your shop is up you could designate one area for showing samples of the parts in the Detroit Diesels like the liners you showed in this video, a BGM Museum of sorts!
Those repairs look like a real team effort. A power surge took out the blower motor in my old furnace. My neighbor lost the compressor in his new Carrier condensing unit. I installed a whole house surge protector to help protect the electronics in the house.
That’s one amazing young lady! I hope she continues to learn mechanical skills and possibly makes a trade of it. She should be very proud of her skills and work ethic. Nicely done!
I remember reading about these busses when I worked as a mechanic for a Brooklyn bus company. When is one of the bus mags Hausman I beleive Leased these 35' busses with roof heat shields to a company in Saudi Arabia and after the lease was up they shipped them back to the US and listed them for sale in the magazine.
Need a clamp down for the laptop now that the brakes work! As everyone said, getting the daughter involved may be the start to great things. Lastly thanks to the family and Scott/Tyler for bringing this story to us. Bus was seriously sick and getting worse.
On lightning taking out your service. I was in the electric motor business for 45 years. Florida is the lightning capital of the world. There is NOTHING you can do to prevent a strike. You can reduce the damage with grounds, but if lightning wants you it's gonna get you.
The last time I had seen a Luna Moth 2013 I was very blessed to have it land on my hand. Such a shame they don't have a mouth, but fly around to mate then die.
Scott, Considering it wouldn’t climb the hill presuming the engine is electronic did you check to verify it was 100 % throttle? Just thinking out loud. Food for thought
Scott I'm not sure if you or someone answered my question on your video before this one but why the yellow color on the engine was there some particular reason? Mine is yellow and have always wondered why. Thanks and love your work you and Tyler do and letting the owners get hands on experience and the knowledge working with you. Thanks again for sharing.
g’day everyone, Kevin here from Australia. Great video a bit of everything and what an awesome bus to work on . Did you do an inside tour of this and I’ve just missed it. But a question I’ve been meaning to ask you Scott . How is it working the long hours with Tyler I remember way back working with my dad and I cherish the memories. Anyhoo again great video you guys stay safe and healthy. ✌️. Peace.
I have a beaver marquis 1990 with cat 3208t i am loosing prime will start with starting fluid and run fine second its turned off it won't start back up. Need some help
Hi Scott - this is a very neat looking bus but why is it called a 'Saudi'? Also, do you think the sand-coloured paint on the engine is because it has been remanufactured or simply because someone got happy with spare paint. (Here in the UK a remanufactured/reconditioned engine is sometimes repainted in a different colour to distinguish it from the original).
All that work rolling bearings. Talk of low oil pressure and capacity, never said anything on how these fixes raised oil pressure or not. I like the videos.. but they leave some important things out.
Some of your videos are hard to follow you start a job and then go on to something else and we don't see the finish of the first job I like watching your work but sometimes you jump all over the place.
