Thanks! :) Actually, I bought this Ikarus from the man who appears in this video. The bus belonged to his father, who was the driver on technical service buses in Tartu bus company, Estonia. The father died a couple of years ago, but before that he had brought this bus to his private property. So, this bus was also used for technical services and yes, there was quite a mess when we started to remove it. The whole salon was full of old stuff, e.g. tyres, pipes, clothes, oil canisters and so on.
Jó látni, hogy a magyar ipar remeke és nagy kedvencem az Ikarus a legmostohább korülmények közt is életképes marad és -ha nem is könnyen- de beüzemelhető. :)
Tore video,selline nostalgia tuli peale.90-date alguses sai isegi Ikarus 260 rooli keeratud.Esimene buss millel sõitsin oli vist aastast 79,igavene pann oli aga noorena mehena oli tore mööda Harjumaad ringi sõita.
Well, I have dreamed of buying an Ikarus for a long time already, since from my childhood. In my hometown, Ikarus-buses were withdrawn 10 years ago and then I was a bit too young for having my own bus. I remember when Tartu's yellow Ikaruses were taken to scrap metal yard in 2003 and most of them were transported there by this particular bus. A year ago I found this Ikarus on a website, saying to be sold. Otherwise it would have been sent to scrapyard as well. So, now I'm a bus owner. :)
Tere-tere! :) Yes, this bus is from Tartu and the material has been shot quite close to Tartu, where the bus has been stayed for some years. This Ikarus was re-built to a technical service bus already in the middle of the 80's. (I have a photo of this bus dated to 1987 where it was already re-built.) In Tartu, last Ikarus 260's and 280's were withdrawn in 2002 (I don't know the exact date), in Tallinn 19.02.2003.
Good! :-) She will live once again. Nowadays, the hungarian Budapest Transport Company withdraws these proud last ones of an era in greater number, as a whole new Mercedes batch has arrived. So it's time to buy them in one piece and get spare parts till they are exist! The buses itself mostly in hard-used condition, engines would deserve a renew, but still working-can go anywhere with enough engine oil and coolant. If anybody needs info, translate, or technical documents about engine and auxiliaries, maybe i can help.
they were standard busses for many years during cccp times and later `russia. `but Hungary wanted valuta for their busses. so, Moscow built their own. GAZ, LIAZ, MAZ and they are well worth all the effort they put behind.
Чудесный дым выходит. На самом деле много и слишком мало, должно было быть намного больше. Этого не может быть достаточно для меня. И пока он так хорошо пахнет, мне наплевать на количество яда, пока он выходит!! Chudesnyy dym vykhodit. Na samom dele mnogo i slishkom malo, dolzhno bylo byt' namnogo bol'she. Etogo ne mozhet byt' dostatochno dlya menya. I poka on tak khorosho pakhnet, mne naplevat' na kolichestvo yada, poka on vykhodit!!
living the dream, huh. Nice, man, thank you for sharing your story! It would be cool to see more from you and what you made out of your bus ;) I will subscribe you :P
Originally, this Ikarus had 3 doors, but the third one is closed, because the bus has been re-built to a technical service bus. I'm not exactly sure whether it is 260.00 or 02, but according to the factory label the bus has been built in 1982.
LOL i did enjoy this video. but what the hell did you use it for? that bus is a mess lol did someone live in it, or was it some kind of a replacement for you're house's basement?
Tere päevast :) Mina armastane Eesti Ikarus - Sorry for my Estonian, but can I ask, where is this bus from? I can see Vabaduse pst on the front table so I guess Tartu - in 2007 I just saw poor Conectos and O405 there... As Tallinn, Tartu should have changed the Ikarus 200 models early to an other... Am I right?
Láttad alulról a vázát, vagy mi? A külső borítólemez lehet rozsdás, attól még lehet jó állapotú. A motor tökéletesen működik, a kipufogó meg pótolható bármikor.
Thank you very much Is it diesel or petrol engine ? If oil, do you have automatic or manual choke ? And in what years were this kind of bus built ? Greetings
beulze This bus is equipped with a diesel engine Raba-MAN D2156 (6 cylinders, 10.35 liters, 192 HP). I don't know about choke, but I suppose it should be manual as it is a quite old-fashioned engine, which history goes back to 1950's. Production of Ikarus 260's started in 1971 and it lasted until 2002. This particular bus was built in 1982.
+beulze Der Ikarus hatte als Antrieb einen Dieselmotor von MAN Raba mit 10350ccm und 192 PS . Weitere Modelle hatten Cummins oder auch DAF Motoren verbaut . Die verbauten Bremsen wirkten auf alle 4 Raeder, weiterhin waren Motorbremse und Federspeicher Feststellbremse verbaut . Die beiden Falttueren bediente der Fahrer , der Unterflureinbau ermoeglichte auch eine Verwendung als Gelenkbus zu DDR Zeiten liebevoll Schlenki genannt . Liebhaberstuecke gibt es vereinzelt auch heute noch auf Oldtimertreffen zu sehen .
Aga kust tead, et just 01? :P Mis on 01 tunnusjooned? Näiteks enamikul Google'i fotodest on 01 kitsaste õhuakendega. Samas on mul see punktijärgne numeratsioon siiamaani ebaselge...
Tere, seltsemees! Vinge buss ;) 1. If a runaway happends, how do you plan stopping her? Does this model have emergency stop switches in cockpit ceiling? 2. Can ir still drive, at least for a few meters?
Tere, seltsimees! On tõesti vinge! :) 1. There is a button on the dashboard for switching off the engine and we tested it several times. 2. It can still drive and the bus was able to drive out from the "parking place" without any assistance, but we didn't stop before reaching on the bigger road, as we were afraid of getting stuck. The bus took a ride of 3-4 kilometers before it was coupled with a truck.
Az ikarus gyár már régóta megy, 2010 előtt ARC volt a neve és 2010 után újra Ikarus lett a neve, és azóta vidáman gyártják a buszokat MAN motorokkal :)
Seda bussi pole tänaval liiklemiseks enam tõesti mõtet korda teha. Asi läheks mõttetult kalliks, sest kere on tal lääbakile vajunud ning tagumine ots ringi ehitatud. Sama raha eest saaks piiri tagant mõne enam-vähem komplektse isendi. Ainus argument taastamiseks võiks olla väljalasekaasta, sest 80.ndate alguse Ikarusi (ja vanemaid) on isegi Venemaal vähe säilinud. Samas on erinevused ainult detailides, mida keegi peale tõsiste fännide ei märka. Vanarauda ei plaani ma seda bussi siiski veel viia.
There isn't any point to restore the bus, because the body's condition is quite bad, but I wanted to buy another bus in a better condition and keep this one as a "donor" for spare parts. The bus still exists, so I'm looking forward to shoot some new footage with it.
Here in Estonia only a few Ikaruses were with turbo charger, so for me the sound of a regular D2156 is very familiar and authentic. But of course, turbo would make it sound even more fun. :)
+Schmidt54 The reasons are very simple mister. The Raba 2156 engine is a licence-built german MAN engine. The bus itself was made in that era when there were no CAD/CAM, so the engineers put their best knowledge to design it, making it one of the best buses on the Earth. Some of these still working in Budapest as BKV-buses.
Ikarus is from Hungary. Some components, for example engine, originates from Germany (MAN factory), but it is still manufactured in Hungary under license (Raba-MAN).
Ma vaidleks vastu seoses akendega - A.O. Tartus pildistatud fotosid lapates leiab 82. a-st juba päris suurel hulgal uute õhuakendega busse (s.t neist osa võivad olla veel varasem väljalase). Raske uskuda, et keegi hakkaks bussil lihtsalt niisama tervet aknaringi välja vahetama.
