Hopefully, you’ll read the information on passing on I’m a former truck inspector and when you were playing your video of the brake drum right after you said, be nice to have a machine to lay it. You’ll see there’s actually a crack and a little piece of the drum missing. You’ll have to watch it slowly or watch it normal and just look for it right after you make that statement it’s not very big, but it looks like there’s a piece missing which it causes it to crack completely and have brake failure.
I'm glad to see you guys using a torque wrench on them lug bolts that's awesome few years back I asked the tire store to put mine on with the torque wrench and they kind of got mad at me they were going to just zap them on with their air wrenches hard as they could I made them I have aluminum rims on my pickup truck they could have seized the shit out of those people are weird these days no respect
You Guys are the greatest for the seals for nothing ! Most anyone else would have at least charged for parts ! I fix heat and air on the side and also don't charge for parts or labor when a fix I've made fails from a faulty part. The money I may lose is more than outweighed by the good will to my customers
@@BusGreaseMonkey Have you come across a seal that failed within a year? That's a head scratcher . But my EXTREME complements to the new owners to coming to you FIRST for an early inspection. Going to Bus Grease Monkey is ALWAYS the right move offa the bad. Wise wise wise people. And thanks for doing your usual bang-up job.
This just proves how important regular inspections for things like this. Scott had mentioned that the average operator would look at possible wear items on a very frequent basis. And this bus is just immaculate.
That cracked rim reminded me of a Watch Wes Work video where he was working on a garbage truck - the inner rim of one rear pair had been cracked long enough it was one pothole away from coming loose. He ended up swapping both rims of the pair and the drum.
Nice. Noticed one of them is retired military. From one retiree to another, "Thank You for Your Sevice". Glad this was an easy fix and the bus was and will be well taken care of.
The left turn wheel studs make sense but it messes with “righty tighty and lefty loosey “ I have used for 60 years. New wheel seals are a crap shoot especially for trailers. Living 30 miles from the eminent vintage bus mechanic is a blessing.
Scott, great service and inspection! The cracked wheel was a major safety catch as well as the leaking seals! They might have exceeded their shelf life before you installed them last year. I don't recall use by dates on any parts I've ever bought so I guess there's no telling! Congrats again for great service!
Great catch on that wheel crack. Way to stand behind your work for those seals👍Any farmers in your area with bulk beet juice? ( a natural additive to your road that will keep that dust down).Love the exterior on that bus!
I'm going to confuse you more. I have hub piloted wheels on my freightliner. My tire shop calls them unimount. I googled it and I guess they are the same. I have aluminum on the front steel on the back.Was going to change to aluminum all around. But they told me ten wheelers that haul or are dump trucks like to break or crack aluminum rims
Man, never touch a inflated wheel/tire assembly that has a cracked rim until you completely deflate the tire. Thats a potential bomb that could’ve gone off.
AL rims can fatigue overtime just comes with the territory. And not surprised it was on the tag they got more side loading than on the other axels. The most common ones to cracks are on the tag and steer axle.
Did you take a torch to that rim to make it permanently disabled? The charter company I worked for did that with all of their worn out rims…just to make sure it was never mounted again.
What torque wrench manufacturer do you use to torque your wheels. I'm looking for one for my motorhome that goes at least to 450 lbs. Also is it 3/4 or 1" drive.
How many miles were put on the bus since you worked on it for the previous owner? Both wheel seals being bad makes sense but is a bit freakish. All of the cracked aluminum wheels I saw on 18 wheelers were steers.
Nice old bus. It always baffles me why people keep CRT televisions installed on these old rigs. Take them out, gain some great cabinet space and shave some weight.
wasn't this the bus that was overweight on front axal from the converter ? some day the feds will stare getting serious on thr rv industry i saw story on one a few months ago built on a heavy straight truck chassis that was like 100 pounds from max gvw dry no fuil. water or supplies and possibly driver and passenger . while theses coaches can carry 30k + i never understood putting such extremely heavy furniture even in trailers, which recently have been cracking frames
I've been driving trucks with aluminum steers for around 30 years. And aluminum drives for about 25. I've run some up around 635,000 miles. I've never seen one crack unless it hit something hard.
Nowadays even name brand parts are made of chinesium and break/fail before the year old mark, it's absolutely ridiculous. They are getting insanely expensive and lower quality every time.
How do you not have a drum/disc lathe in your shop? I would think that would be a minimum requirement? They're not that expensive, in a job-to-cost situation. Unless I'm sadly mistaken. In a small, local (neighborhood) garage back in the 1980's (in New Yoek) I had a drum/disc lathe in my shop. Surely they're not that much more cost-prohibitive now?

You know you are a real BGM devotee when you recognize a bus from a year ago...
I have my rims torqued to 450 lbs. Tire shop has me come back around 50 miles and retorqued them again. It's part of their service
That's a quality tire shop!

Really nice layout of a bus. Lovely condition.👍👍
I’ve spent 32 years of my life on busses like that as a touring musician.
Why couldn’t you find respectable work?
Be sure to listen to Asylum Street Spankers’ song Cousin Earlie. It is about their travails on their tour bus.

That's great you redid the seals for free.
Seals were free and 1hr labor per side.

I think both of them
@BusGreaseMonkey Thank you. I hope they get a lot of use of that very well cared for bus after you worked on it last year.
We have pretty much the same bus and it’s in Dublin Ireland! 🇮🇪 Hasn’t been serviced in about 16 years, definitely needs attention 😳
That’s going to be expensive playing catch up on the maintenance.
Where in Dublin lad? 🇮🇪

I understand your hillclimb test at home
Bus is pretty clean.Owner actively keeps an eye on things.
I would love to say pull up next to the dozer also!
Love those 90's conversions.
Still a nice looking bus and sounds great .
I spy a Hi-Q antenna on the back there. Nice.
Gorgeous coach. Nice folks. Happy ending.
That is one beautiful bus!
Nice, Quality build & fit out vs modern ones. So Good 👍
That bus is beautiful.
That’s a beautiful bus.
In fleet sevice we do a 30 mile and retorque the lugnuts when we have the wheels off

Yes, Marathons are great conversions.

At 9:25 when the bus starts something green falls out to the floor.
nice clip, keep them coming
Another win for the Bus Community. Great job BGM. Who sang "Pinball Wizard"
Thanks for the video.
I'm going to confuse you more. I have hub piloted wheels on my freightliner. My tire shop calls them unimount. I googled it and I guess they are the same. I have aluminum on the front steel on the back.Was going to change to aluminum all around. But they told me ten wheelers that haul or are dump trucks like to break or crack aluminum rims
What the difference in the rims other than the brand I don't know what I'm looking at ??
Man, never touch a inflated wheel/tire assembly that has a cracked rim until you completely deflate the tire. Thats a potential bomb that could’ve gone off.
I wonder what caused the aluminum rim to crack? Metal fatigue, hitting a pothole, curb, etc. . . .
AL rims can fatigue overtime just comes with the territory. And not surprised it was on the tag they got more side loading than on the other axels. The most common ones to cracks are on the tag and steer axle.
@@matthewq4b Same here, usually the steer wheels I've seen cracked.
Did you take a torch to that rim to make it permanently disabled? The charter company I worked for did that with all of their worn out rims…just to make sure it was never mounted again.
You learn to love the smell of diesel fuel, as the. Bus only stops ever 11 hours or so and you can gent off at the truck stop. Crazy lifestyle
Improper wheel nut tightening sequence is what most likely cracked that wheel. Seen it before.
That lady is wearing PONY shoes!!!! 😊😊
Any idea who made the wheel seals or they are just generic ones? Other wise well done job, less issues now for the new owner.
CR not cheap and good quality
What torque wrench manufacturer do you use to torque your wheels. I'm looking for one for my motorhome that goes at least to 450 lbs. Also is it 3/4 or 1" drive.
made it up the hill
Nice coach. He needs to move the mirror arms forward instead of the Dodge truck look 😎
9:55- Sounds like the starter did not disengage fully here?
He held it a bit long because the fuel starvation from the fuel filter change
Great sponsor - something really useful for a change!
Passive aggressive compliments… interesting
You need someone to send you some microphones😂😊
13:33 Isaiah 53:5 Beautiful!
What would cause the cracked rim? I'm guessing over torquing?
9:39: 56 PSI oil pressure at 600 RPM !! Is the restrictor plugged or damaged?
Cold 40wt oil. Hot is way different.
How many miles were put on the bus since you worked on it for the previous owner? Both wheel seals being bad makes sense but is a bit freakish. All of the cracked aluminum wheels I saw on 18 wheelers were steers.
Ya the tags on buses tend to crack as they get more side loading then the other axels.
Hi Scott,are you still sometimes starting lenny?
Yes and moving him around. Just renewed his license plates on Thursday

Nice old bus. It always baffles me why people keep CRT televisions installed on these old rigs. Take them out, gain some great cabinet space and shave some weight.
Hide your valuable behind the old tv. Ain’t no one stealing that ;)
Whats the torque value for those rims, just curious.
450-500

I've been driving trucks with aluminum steers for around 30 years. And aluminum drives for about 25. I've run some up around 635,000 miles. I've never seen one crack unless it hit something hard.
Buses have a lot more weight per wheel. Truckers have 18 wheels distributing the weight and buses have only 8 wheels
Wheels both aluminum and steel crack on semi trucks and trailers as well as buses. Its not common but we do see it.
Nowadays even name brand parts are made of chinesium and break/fail before the year old mark, it's absolutely ridiculous. They are getting insanely expensive and lower quality every time.

These are huge drums. Liability of turning them has made it a very rare practice nowadays
Stay off the crack, Jack. Make a new planetary, Stan-Terry. You don’t need to be Roy Acuff under the bus, Gus.
Truck and automotive parts have really gotten bad, especially the Chineseium stuff.
Thou shall not leave the creeper on the floor when not in use.
Tony hawk would disagree
Replacing seals on old pitted and worn pieces... seems almost pointless... How can you ever hope things will seal up?
The sealing surface is very clean
The pitted surface was the brake drum NOT the spindle. Listen to what is actually being said in the video..
the inside looks cozy to me
They need a counter depth fridge, many people are unaware of their existance.
