Toledo Bus Rescue Day 3 - Preparing the Flxible transit bus for transport. Adjusting stuck brakes and removing an axle shaft to get the bus rolling. Checking out the 6v71 Detroit Diesel and emergency shut-off.
As a citizen of Toledo who as a very poor kid in the 1970s rode these things; seeing them again in this video brought back a flood of Memories. One of the few good things I remember about my mom was riding the bus to downtown Toledo to get some cloths at Woolworths. Glad someone who wants these is getting them rather than the scrappers torch. Thank you!
Scott of Bus Grease Monkey will recommend is to bar the engine over two revolutions whether or not the racks are moving or not as it will determine if you have stuck injectors if you try to start it as is its possible the engine could run away. a 6-71 two stroke detroit diesel those engines the 71 and 92 series two stroke detroit diesel is what Bus Grease Monkey is working on. He is currently home be closing on his new property in Tenn before he works on more of his client's busses.
