"I'm glad you helped me out...because nobody else woulda" The best kind of endorsement!
What a beautiful bus. It was nice to see the tow men being careful with it like it was their own.
They did great
Real professional towing company
There are a few out there that do take care of customers vehicles
I know when I drove a super tilt in Australia I treated vehicles as my own
My little brother was the tow truck driver that delivered this bus!! He loves his job and is a damn hard worker!!
I do not own a bus but I can not imagine a service center with the services that you offer. I think you have become a legend.
To many maintenance/repair shops I'd say are criminals
Big points for telling us WHY and HOW it failed, and not just saying it's' fixed.
usually sucking oil from the pan or dirty turbo or plugged valves sucking oil etc.
This is easily the best delivery by trailer I have seen on your channel.
Real pros.
'Absolute towing". I mean what a beautiful rig for transporting these vintage busses. Excellent job.
It sounds like a hefty price for a tow, but the expenses that go into a business like that, must be astronomical.
That New Holland is IMPRESSIVE
That’s my Son Jeffrey that works for Absolute Towing he loves his job!
very cool!
The one thing I have learned from watching your videos is this; it is an expensive venture owning a bus. Thanks for the videos, good job.
Saved another bus and engine. BGM success story.
Hey Scott just an FYI if you release the interlock lever between the brake pedals it would allow you to brake steer the tractor. Farmers use that to turn tighter corners. Practice it when it suits just to get the feel of it.
If the engine ran 6000 RPM without damage, why is the governor not set higher for more power? Plus I guess that is a design error allowing shaft wear to drive the fuel pump but not the governor, plus allowing the engine shutoff to depend on air pressure, which I would look into changing the latter, I guess to electric, requiring voltage to keep it running.
Do you think the dirty air filter may have saved the engine?
Scott, yet another save! Those tow guys were real pros! Once again you've done a marvelous job with integrity! Thanks!
Kudos to the tow dudes. Really appreciate the amount of care they show - so much better than the usual "good enough" attitude I seem to come across these days. I sure can't afford a bus, but if I ever came across one by the side of the road and in a pickle...I'd probably suggest these guys. And that they then take the bus to you, Scott - obvs. 😁
fine job sir. not many people can keep a level head and get a run away diesel shut down and save the engine.
The brakes are "Long, Long Trailer" Squeaky Happy to see the engine was not damaged by the runaway.
Need to let the air out of those back tires. The sidewalls actually should be flexing just a bit, they don't get hot because you are moving so slowly. But if you do that, you will be amazed at how much more traction you get. Beautiful bus, I would pay the towing to get you to work on it as well.
Your little New Holland 4WD tractor is a winner. That was quite a chore, pulling that bus
up a steep driveway. By the way, that's a very nice old bus. Sturdy, solid, not flashy, and
its got good character. I can tell the owner is fond of it. I would be too.
Always impressed at the cohones on that tractor!!!!!!!
Maybe another tractor would have the balls to vive it a shove and a push
Came here to say the same thing! It's the little tractor that can! 😂
Plot twist: it wasn't pulling the bus up the hill--it was rotating the earth beneath it.
Maybe they put a vial of Chuck Norris's sweat in the radiator....
This is quite a quiet bus with few rattles. Impressive! Nice job on the repair.
I know SO MANY people who would be spinning tires and shooting gravel everywhere trying to get up that hill. Low and slow - Keeping your tires gripping is the ONLY way to go! As soon as your tires spin, you have LOST 100% of your traction.
LOVE the copper piping - GREAT way to make sure your hoses don't burst!
I was very impressed with the copper to
Wow this towing company actually had the right equipment and know how. Great turnaround on this one! You bought the right tractor for the jobs you have.
I really like the way that bus goes down the road it's very solid !!
Yay! Finally someone used the proper trailer; a Landoll!
My thoughts exactly 💯. 😊
Well it worked well on this more vintage style bus but a lot of buses would be too tall you get over 14 ft you run into trouble quick the newer buses are still going to require a RGN & even though a bus isn't over weight or width it's still considered a specialized load most owners are less motivated to hire the guys with the real nice equipment because of the money
I'd say those tow guys were worth every penny, because that was extremely professional. Scott and Co. save the day once more, as usual.
Fast thinking owner saved his powerplant, very nicely done,
Shoutout to the transporter's too, great to see pro's with the know how, and the proper equipment to do the job right.
And of course the BGM team, Scott you and your team have every bit my respect...
you guy's are amazing..thanx again for the video's, and everything else you do every single day.
Great job man.
Thank you...
✌️❤️😁
A very lucky and quick acting bloke. Whoever did that transmission did a good job. The revs that converter locked up at is perfect.
Cool sounding engine (not too loud) and rides well over your test run.
Glad your customer thinks so highly of you that he pays good brass to transport his bus to your place.
Good to hear you plugging your local businesses too.
Enoy your videos. Makes me dream about hitting the road in a bus like that. Sadly it's only a dream.
Love a Detroit!
What an absolutely beautiful bus. Thank you for filming this. It is an absolute joy to watch you to work on a gem like this.
I love the sound of that 92 Series exhaust!!
This is the brand of bus my dad worked on back in the day. He was a mechanic for Grayling for a few years, well before I was born.
New Holland Tractor: I THINK I CAN...I THINK I CAN...I THINK I CAN 🤣
Love the sound of the Detroit diesel. They really were the peak of technology in their day. Also, that truck driver must be a hell of a man to get comment from his big sis and mom below!
Those tow drivers did it right took their time and looked out for the bus would say these guys should be number one on the call list for anyone needing a tow in their area.
What a beautiful coach! Great job finding the smoking gun and gettin' the fella back on his way.
Great video. You are a true asset to the bus community for jumping in and helping this fellow. That engine sounds really smooth after the repairs. Probably one of the nicest sounding engines I've heard. Very pretty bus.
Glad you were able to get it fixed in a short time,nice work Scott…
Best tow I've seen on this channel. I only recall one other (Lance's) that wasn't really bad.
That motor just purrs! I love it. Sounds so good.
I said it before and I'll say it again you guys are incredible the knowledge you guys know everything about everything and whoever it is that talks on the camera is very humble guy not sure if you guys are all family or friends but the way you guys work together is incredible keep up the very hard work you guys do and the great videos 💪💪
What a gorgeous machine and a great save.
this is probably my all time favorite bus....beautiful design and restored to perfection......this bus has lots of luv.....cudos to owner....
That is a good running bus! Sounded real smooth on the test drive and he wasn’t sawing at the wheel to keep it going straight
MY NEW FAVORITE CHANNEL! love the videos and the great info from them!
I could notice the effect of the throttle delay function on the control tubes (racks), progressive when fuelled up,,,, oh, and I still have a blower drive shaft 'on the ready' in my kit after all these years.. Great video thanks...
As mentioned a few times already, that bus is beautiful ! Nice dash board treatment...
Such knowledgeable service! Someone who actually knows what they are talking about and seemingly does not take anything apart that does not need investigation. Refreshing! Cost of driving one of these things has to be out there, but it must be a thrill, nonetheless!
It’s a pleasure to watch you enjoy what you enjoy doing.
Another great resuscitation, good thing it was shut down quickly. Your work is legendary in the coach world!
The little tractor that did! Great video.
Those 6V92's are little rockets 🚀
8’s are better ;)
I have been enjoyed watching your channel for a few years, can't believe you are only at 170K subs. Thanks for keeping those great old engines and busses alive! I was hoping to get into an older bus years ago but wife's health issues squashed that for now.
well what ever its cost to get it there was worth every penny because its not only fixed with experience & knowledge its real passion and only fixed what`s broken unlike a lot of other places that would have pulled it to bits and maybe even said it would need a new engine pleasure to watch
Nice you can see the transport guys know their job very well, and attention to detail, nice to see people actually care about the quality of their work!
That 6V71 is Lucky lucky and ultra lucky. Great work as always Scott.
It's a 6V92TA
it sounds nice and smooth, great job. The word has got around, there's buses everywhere. Your business has come a long way from when you started driving to jobs. Well done mate.
Sounds healthy now!! Great job😊
I love that little tractor! I'm sure you guys do even more, but I really like the 4x4 idea, and it's a nice size with a cab. Excellent for mowing with the A/C on.
Mowing _and_ towing 😁
Using the existing bucket mounts you could get a used bucket and fill it with concrete or fabricate steel plate making it into a water tank to provide variable ballast weight over the front axle of the tractor.
3000 tow... half of what I paid for a whole running driving PD4104, granted that Flexible is pretty nice. That's a very interesting failure totally not what I expected.
You guys do excellent work!!
Excellent results as always.
That is EXACTLY how a bus should sound!
Bonafide miracle ... excellent work! ❤
That is one sweet sounding Detroit.
Glad you got his bus fixed.
Congrats to you guys on awesome work. And congrats to the owner on QUICK thinking to capture the runaway before doing BIG damage inside the engine!!
Hi 👋 Scott u have a good tractor glad to see it tow a big bus up ur hill to the shop safely ❤from ur subscriber Peter from SC May The Good Lord Bless u & ur family May his spirit shine upon u & ur family
WOW ! That tractor is amazingly strong !!
That tow company was great they had the proper equipment and actually took pride in there work.
Great service Scott!
What a beautiful bus!
Runaway detroits make the BEST SOUND out of ANY ENGINE EVER MADE. It has the great rumble of the diesel engine, with the "revs" of a gas engine. Heaven. Some said some engines could run to 3000 rpm's and keep it there no problem. Impressive.
Love them old motors. Easy to work vs this new stuff today
Good to see your back on. Been while since the last one
Great job - as always! - Scott. What robust engines those old things are! And that one had a great exhaust sound 🙂
I have worked in a corner street garage and when they towed in a truck that ran out of diesel, they wanted to try starting it with ether, I started it by bleeding the injector lines😊
I don't need to see the 'runaway' as i've already experienced a runaway on my van when the seal blew on the turbo and dumped oil into the chambers. Very, very scary! Ironically, after replacing the turbo and seals my 17 year old van is now running like a swiss watch. Great thinking with the mat. Love that bus by the way.
...you have set the slowest time for the hill climb!
Great detective work Sir !
GREAT JOB SCOTT
As always...
GREAT SCOTT, JOB.
I love how accessible and serviceable the engine is. New vehicles are getting to be Impossible to service or repair.
That is an unusual failure. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blower drive fail like that resulting in a runaway.
Used to run one of those detroits in the fire truck I drove. You will never forget that sound.
Nice video, thanks for sharing
Thanks, I realized after watching more closely that the turbo sits right on top. Great content!
What a great sound that thing makes! 😁
A little late seeing this video, but that 6V92 sounds BRILLIANT!
Super cool video!
Beautiful bus!
You are a great lifesaver! I would love to have a bus like that. I really enjoy your channel>
Crazy. Turbo and a blower. Nice
What a great looking bus.
Thanks for the video.
If I owned a bus, you would be the only place I would use for repairs!!
Het Scott! Rick Delair here! I am back!! Hope ya like my new username! 😝🤣👍🏻👌😋 I missed you a great deal! Glad to be back, can’t get enough of these awesome 2 strokes! I will always love them, best diesels ever made in world history hands down! I now have 2 rare valveless 4-51’s! Interesting failure on this one! 😎😋 Cheers man! 👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊
Nice BUS! - Freedom and the open road.
Clint (C&C Equip) Scott needs something with more HPs to pull these toys up Mt Rwenzori ... Tha NH manages but imagine if the road was wet . Good video guys . You WIN again
I was thankful Scott hadn't just put down a foot of new gravel.
That is a beautiful bus.
Beautiful coach.
