@ 14:11 Now that security sign sure got my attention! 🤣

That beautiful old bus definitely deserves some serious TLC like only BGM can provide.

Good feeling knowing these rigs are much much safer when you put'm back on the road. Thanks Scotty......

Buddy up your way had his barn blown down. It came down on top of Wanderlodge. He told us (in the WOG) he could get in it. The bathroom door was jammed. We’re hoping they get the rubble off it , the roof will flex back up. All steel coach. Otherwise it looks good, just can’t drive it out yet. It’s holding up a bit of the barn.

Scott remember when we both had strong backs like that young one does must be nice. Tell him to take care of it

I like that sign for your home security system. :)

Thank you... for all the people you help..thank you. ✌️❤️😁

Please be careful on the young guys’ backs. Bad backs are forever bad backs. 😊Steve

I like the "Protected by FAMO" sign by the drive into the shop!🤣🤣🤣🤣

I commend you for your skills to keep these behemoths safely on the road.

On Most Newells, they leave spare wires in the engine compartment that go up front to the fuse panel.

No body is perfect. I have rebuilt a lawnmower engine for my self. I built the whole thing knowing I needed to replace the piston ring as well. Well fixed all the other issues. Then put it together. Next day walk over to the work table sitting next to it was the ring set for the piston. Man I was like you idiot how can you forget the one thing you were doing. I was pretty upset with my self for a bit. But it is easy on a small engine. It still had the old piston rings on it. But I did replace the rings the same day. Now I keep a check list of parts of done for the day or week. More organized for myself.

Pleasantly surprised that my countrymen Koni are making shocks for these old buses 😃

Not that it any type of big deal, but I know that the caliber of work you always stride for, must have pissed you off to no end, to have missed that little 1/4" in. drain plug. This comment is meant only to throw some salt into the wound. LOL. Scott always share's the Good, the Bad; and the Ugly. These are the top of the top technicians, when it comes to repairs on buses, second to nobody period. God bless you one and all. Thanks for sharing Scott, your also one heck of an educator by the way.

The wife and I own property in Soddy Daisy, TN but we lived in Knox county, TN for 28 years. I do miss those super bad east Tennessee spring storms! I have seen 150 foot oak trees fall across the drive. Three giant trees snap midway up the trunk from micro bursts, and 2' deep water in my cul-de-sac. They were cool though!

Great video! Working on a 1983 with a 6V92 so I learned a lot from this project.

The ol Tanya Harding got er done 😂

This was a good one! Awesome to watch 😎😎👍🏻👍🏻

Good deal. That rig and operator will be much happier once they're on the road again.

Pro tip: for Allen head bolts that are hard to get to, cut a short piece off an Allen key, shove it inside the bolt head, and use a wrench to take it off.

Nice work, bet that Newell is driving nice now. I like the double shocks on the front, bet that helps with porpoising! I put a 1” heater hose on my air dryer spitter to extend it down, fits perfectly over the end, nice good friction fit so you can remove it and clean from time to time.

Excellent video of outdoors by the way I know you guys know so be safe outdoors with all those widowmakers up in those trees. Even a small branch in a wind can cause real harm.

Great progress on the Newell

I would have had a hard time resisting the urge to get rid of the rust in the valvetrain. You have greater willpower than me.

Wow that bus is gonna be like branew!!!

Great job crew!

In Australia we don't have that many coach conversation but I bloody love ya videos mate. I cam see ya updated ya camera and editing. Tyler is a weapon. Wouldnt mind spinin some spannas with you blokes one day 💪

Great video. Love to watch these!

What you call a "cotter pin" in the US we refer to as a 'split pin' in the UK. Our cotter pins are used to hold the cranks onto a push bike center axle and have a chamfered side to gradually tighten onto the axle shaft as you knock them in.

GREAT JOB.

I've always liked the sound of a diesel much better than a petrol engine.😊 That one sounds great.

Nice work Scott ….

I LOVE, the way you "DO SHIT" Get It done. In the most AMERICAN way

Good video great work.

Nice work, Scott that heater harness wire is back wound on itself and can cause it to "coil field" and short out

Damn that's an expensive brake drum, we just ran into something similar, when we heard the price of the drum we almost had a heart attack. We can get a 16.5 x 7 for around $75, but for a 16.5 x 8.6 I believe it was around $500 (OUR price), I dont even want to know what regular retail price is 💀.

Manual air tank drains were always better than the auto one's in my opinion and like you say if they have a good air dryer on there now that should cut most of the moisture.

HVACR would appreciate the use of the viper cleaner:)

I haven't made gasket that way since my days as a nuclear reactor plant mechanic LOL.

I used to work at a radiator shop and would occasionally find one of those that had a leak on the center tube. I could have a core made and un solder and re solder the top and bottom tanks or side tanks depending on the configuration. Sometimes those are just plugged up and there is no good way to shove a rode thru the ports. You can try but there is no way if it doesn't want to. The other bad thing is that if you have a tube that is leaking in the middle is that you have to solder the top and bottom of the header shut on that tube which deletes that tube. That is if you don't ruin the core in the process. Very expensive.

saying hi from Brazil

Best you tube outro song ever

Bang on job 👍🏻😎💪🔧😊

I noticed that you changed out those two gate valves. I was wondering why you don’t use ball valves instead? It’s obvious when they are open as well as closed which I’m very sure you know. Is it a matter of room to install? Not a criticism in any way I love watching you guys, just an observation.

Have you ever thought about getting a cricutter machine to make gaskets that you can’t get anymore?

You need some wipes new on that site glass or some of that porcelain ceramic polish works too works good for a couple years

Niiiiice job

Thanks!

@10:53 before working on anything (more often airplanes for me) I always use my phone to take a bunch of pictures. I suspect that those wires have been loose for some time, but with pictures of "before" you wouldn't need to be wondering if you knocked a wire nut off....

Great content no mention of cause for Sparks loose connection?

keep the clips coming

Mr. Gasket...tappy tap tap 👍🏻

Leroy❤

Owning a bus is not for the faint of heart everything is expensive.

Should you be running a braided line or solid copper from the compressor to the dryer and not plastic? That is what I was always taught.

My god that radiator was a massive effort! How many hours did that part of the project end up taking?

Is there a 'best' kind of wood and hammer for flattening out metal? I have to flatten some equipment face plates which are thinner then a bus bumper; and with the hammer I have they come out worse then when I got them.

4.18...free anger management....🤣

Hey Scott can you please explain the weighting each of the corner tires for the tire psi like you did on the Snap-on truck?

Made many gaskets using a ball peen hammer. 🙂

Just found your channel. Great videos. Where are you located?

Nice.

The access all round looks much better than the Silversides.

👌

Chainsaw time Scott

Hi Scott and Kelly we’re going down to Nashville in about three or four weeks we’re staying downtown was wondering if you guys can recommend a good Mexican restaurant in the downtown area let me know. Thanks guys you’re number one fan

What was being used for coolant, grease? Lol.

Years of dirt!

Did you make that socket for the 90 Fitting ?? Good idea

Hello Scott no rush hard hard work question Sir I've never seen a wrench or a socket excuse me that can install 90 degree fittings is that something you made or can they be purchased online only in the US please let me know I appreciate it thank you

Did anyone else catch the 'swear jar word' @ 15:23.....time to pay up Jonathan!

any thoughts on a 50's Kenworth-pacific bus? has been converted to a 6v71 Detroit

👍🇺🇦👍🇺🇦

As usual, a good job and I believe I saw my old hammer wack that bumper

My hairy wife watch this all the time,,,,

Why were the brake drums so expensive?? I was thinking most of those bus brake drums were close or the same as many big trucks brake drums which are pretty much universal. Why would a manufacturer spec a unique design that ends up being so expensive because it's probably a one off design.

BTW, did that tree ever came down?

fire wood

I cringe when I see them pick up those brake drums . I know how heavy they are

to many closeups for me

Just did my HVAC fins and coils. Kept the dogs, kitties and kiddos away. 😏🤷‍♂️👌🏻🙏🏻👍🏻✌️🤭🤫🧰🛠🔩🔧🇺🇸

Careful on the twisties. Some of that pepper grinder stiffens the shaft or blows is out prematurely 😏🤷‍♂️🤭🤫😎✌️🔧🔩

Nice job guys..
