- Hello everyone.
This is a special video about a guy who buys an old Greyhound bus in Canada and wants to drive it back to Brazil.
He and his wife are on this adventure together.
The bus is a 1956 Greyhound Scenicruiser.
If you've traveled on Hwy 1 through Spences Bridge BC, you have likely seen this bus parked for many years.
Well, that's about to change!
Watch Saldanha and Valeria get this bus running and driving.

I rescued a derelict '62 GM bus that was in Pouce Coupe a few years ago. That bus the solenoid was only for engaging reverse, it still had all 4 forward gears. But then I spent 3 days working on it in my cousins truck shop in Grande Prairie and got the solenoid working and the throttle lubed up & freed. Then i drove it 850 miles down to the west Kootenays! It cruised at 70-75 mph easily all day long, with all 6 new tires!
Lovely story. Thanks for sharing that.
Man, I just want to thank you (as a Brazilian) for all that patience and non-verbal communication!
😂😂😂
I am sure that this bus will be revived and I can't wait to see it been drived around here, in Brazil.
😊
good on you for helping, James. it's gonna be weird going by there and not seeing the bus parked where it's been for years.
BEST BUS EVER. LOVE THAT DETROIT SOUND. RESTORATION ? I HOPE.
Nice to see it moving under its own power. And way to go for assisting them with your time and knowledge 👍
Thanks 👍
Nothing but a smile, prayer and a couple hundred bucks maybe. Wow! Love it!
Must have been a real treat in 1962 when Chester had a burrito dump right behind the driver.......good times😢😢😢
Boa sorte ! Deus no comando, traz o ônibus pra ka
I hope Scott from bus grease monkey is watching your progress. I love seeing you get it moving ! Keep up the great work
I hope so! Thank you.
Wonderful to see an old Greyhound bus moving, even if it's a little sketchy!
That was the type of Greyhound that Cary Grant rode out to "Prairie Stop" in Indiana to meet George Kaplan in "North By Northwest" in 1959.
I remember that. Now I have to watch it again. Classic. Thank you for sharing.

Spray oil,,the shit out of linkage,,pedals,,holy cats,,,cool bus,,good luck
Simpler to put it in reverse from the outside. You need to put the bus in first gear, then with the clutch depressed, useing a stick or rod between the axles on the driver's side, press against the solenoid arm while pulling the transmission from first back to second. Those solenoids were frequent fail items, even back in the early 1980s!
The Solenoid only flips the function of second gear to Reverse. Without the solenoid you have all four forward gears as the default position for it is to engage 2nd gear.
I would be shocked if that thing would move in that field in third gear! Even in in second the bus won't have enough torque to move much at all unless on smooth flat ground. I feel for that clutch.
If I recall correctly 1st gear was 0 to 17, 2nd was 17 to 35, 3rd was 35 to 53 and 4th was 53 to 72. (Disclaimer: it's been 42 years since I drove one!)
Love it. ❤️
Thats definitely first
Throttle pedal sticking usually is right at pivot at bottom of pedal itself.. all dirt. Water.. salts shit off feet.. spray pivot on pedal with kroil or PB Blaster with bus off.. work the pedal by hand a bunch..rinse and repeat.. get that lube worked into bottom pivot of pedal to help free it up..
could be the racks
Thanks you guys. It's freed up and works excellent it's lightning quick at the pedal now.👍
That bus has as much chance making it to Brazil as i have of flying to the moon...and that's not a criticism.
You can do anything if you get off yer butt and just do it.
I've been pleasantly surprised many times in my life. I think he can do it.
Sou de itanhaem sp posta vídeos todos os dias
This is great! Love these 2! Can't understand them but your doing a great documentary! They look like an adventurous couple! Going to Brazil right?
They are!
All that gear grinding made me stiffen up so much. I would have sorted out the solenoids first. This is awesome though. I just found out about these buses and I've never seen any in person ever.
He may be the Brazilian bus grease monkey good video
Thank you. 😊
Please let us know when you get to Brasília
🤝🤝🤝🤝😍😍😍😍😍
That poor clutch.
poor gears 🥴🥴🥴
I think I seen this on craigslist
More time under that hood will save alot later. It moves
Yes, for sure. It will happen.
What language are they speaking Portuguese? Or French?
Portuguese
It should have a Williams Control air throttle so just squirting the piss out of the pedal should free it up. Check & see if the clutch brake is warn out or the pressure plate needs adjusting. I was screaming inside when he was ripping the tops off the gears!
Williams air throttle can be a nightmare on a bus thats still a manual trans.. my understanding anyways.. it doesnt let rpm drop fast enough for the shift to next gear i believe.
@@brentlance2379you just have to get used to a air throttle with standard transmission,I drove them for many years. 🇨🇦😎
But I’m sure that the 4501 did not have a air throttle,originally
Pedal is now free works great. Thanks😊
What's the music?
Painful to watch the poor old transmission get brutalized.
Yes but kinda necessary. Now it can be properly worked on, solid level ground.
