    I think of all the big shops with huge lifts and 20 mechanics and a service writer. You probably get more done on a hill in Tennessee .......true.😅 cool beans.

    The MC-9 was once Greyhound’s workhorse of its fleet. Awesome job to the Bus Grease Monkeys for taking on the task of properly fixing this important part of bus history. Congratulations to the owner of it as well. I’m loving this.

    What is the difference between the MC 9 and the MC 12 besides the square head lights? They look so similar. The MC 9 was one of my favorite buses to drive.

    • @tipsandtrips7519
      @tipsandtrips7519 6 дней назад +2

      Some of the differences:
      1. One-Piece cluster rear signal/brake/backup lamps (came on the MC-12).
      2. Different steering wheels.
      3. Aerodynamic slanted front roof (MC-12).
      4. No aluminum rub rails (MC-12).
      Just a few. Hope it helps.

      Mechanically the MC-12 is based off the 96-A3; A/C, Suspension. This is why the MC-12 doesn't have the 'MCI lean" that the MC-9 was known for.
      Other things off the op of my head not mentioned:
      The front of the billboards do not have a bezel on the 12
      There is a third brake light above the rear billboard
      The indented design above the door is gone from the 12

      Y-T's CDN is throttling the resolution as more folks play videos; if you can't change in it settings, it's a CDN issue for sure.
