I am amazed at how Jonathan’s abilities have developed in the past few months. It doesn’t hurt that he is as strong as an ox. Makes me very happy to see a young man WANT to work!
I once had a spring brake unit explode on the rear axle of a nearly new Chev tandem milk truck. I had just filled the fuel tanks, started the truck, waited for air to build and released the brake. There was a big bang and air pressure went to zero. The spring (it was white!) shot across the parking lot into the mechanics garage area - about 50 feet away. Since that day, I have always kept my distance whenever following a truck where the units face backwards at a certain angle. Guess it doesn't happen often and since the truck was only a few weeks old, I sure wasn't expecting anything to go wrong.
Scott, you and Jonathan are doing a fantastic job on this. Your ability to overcome design and logistical challenges (especially fitment of the new spring brake cans) is beyond impressive. Keep up the good work!
Glad to see you know have plenty of and all the best tools and facilities. Anyone recognize that mechanic seat.Where I am now all they have are crappy Yinese ones. I did buy a bonester one time but they're tippy. And I sent it back.
I am surprised you haven't got a spray wash cabinet aqueous parts washer in your shop yet. It would save so much time and effort cleaning parts. All you do is set it and forget it and the parts come cleaner than doing it by hand. You could even wash break drums in one. While parts are washing you can continue to do other work. When in framing an engine you can wash all parts removed from the engine. Once parts are washed a quick fresh water rinse and blow dry with compressed air.
There is an advantage - it's not as easy to chew up the screw head using a wrench on screwdriver as one is able to press straight down while turning the screw.
Love the content. As your channel grows you may want to have a part time videographer/editor/sound person come and assist. Kid in college, retiree. Just a helpful thought. Not to get overly polished, but just to kick it up a notch.
We see multiple times you struggling to install brake chambers, rubber bushings... may you have to use proper size parts, as original parts have, why not?
The brake chamber is a huge safety upgrade and fitting a double chamber 30/30 where a single 30 was previously is a big job. We didn’t struggle we made the modifications and got it installed. Struggling installing bushings?? Removing the old ones is a struggle but never installing the new ones
you need a upgrade //need a pit in the cement for 2 workers to make repairs underneath bus and vehicles /will add more income and faster service , and build your great job in keeping them safe on the road //outstanding job
This One is going to be in much better shape when you guys get done with it.
Weatherhead socket for the air fittings. I didn't even know they existed till a few months ago. They're perfect for this application.

Very interesting. I would like to see the ‘bill’ for this one. Great job guys!

The number of specialized tools you have amazes me.😮
Johnathan is quite expert now! Nice.
It's great that you can still get parts for these old buses
I can't wait to see the old girl in action again!
This one has been a really tough nut to crack; hasn’t it? Monumental job; can’t wait to see it driving after all the work is done.
Those new parts look the part , the ride will be quieter with all of the new parts , nice work guys .
This bus/coach is really putting you to the test! Great work!
Can't wait to see Drive.

Keep the great videos coming👍
14:01 that hammer has got so famous lately.
Tons O work 😊
It's looking really good.
Wow that bus will ride like new once done and will
Probably last another 40 yrs

I liked the flat screw driver with a closed end wrench up underneath for extra screwdriver torque
There is an advantage - it's not as easy to chew up the screw head using a wrench on screwdriver as one is able to press straight down while turning the screw.
That is why the shank is square.
Thanks for the video.
I'd like to see a test drive of this bus.
Just wait a few more weeks 🙄
@@TheObnoxiousMrPug It will be worth it.
Working hard to bring bus back to life should ride and brake much better 😁
Scott, Ya'll desperately are in need of a 'Plasma-Cutter" it would make your cutting jobs so much faster and cleaner!
Yes desperately because i would use it for 10 minutes twice a year.
Wondering why you didn’t use a primer with that loctite 660
Do they make urethane bushings for heavy vehicles? They don't break down as quickly as rubber.

would hate to get the repair bill on that pos.
keep the clips coming
Maybe a silly question, but if you could use that press to drive the new stud in, how come you couldn’t use it to drive the old stud out?
It’s usually just faster to hit them out but yes the tool can do it too
Im wondering id POLYURETHANE BUSHINGS WILL EVER BE USED ON BUSES..?
Hmmm
21:00 orb
First one dust....second one orb 👻
Cant believe y'all dont put teflon tape or pipe dope on those air fitting threads
We use the “right stuff” on every one of them. It’s the best sealant
Somebody's watching you....orbs.
Mice job

@@BusGreaseMonkey you make an exceptional job on those buses. We appreciate.

This vehicle needed all 4 hubs removed. A pit does not make that easier
You’re not fixing until the hammer comes out
Dont you just love tire shops and their misuse of air tools? Stud / wheel wreckers.
