I grew up on Detroit Diesels , Always have loved them but watching this man work on them is incredible he is got to be one of the best I have ever seen , he’s like a surgeon at work !
I have to say..... I've been Driving Buses for 49 year's. School Bus Transit Buses Coach Buses Old Look New Look Best two buses GM ever built! You are top shelf....Your work is spotless. And your wife is Excellent all so. Your a amazing person. Thank You for all your vidio's! Well Enjoyed 😊
If it wasn’t for all of the SUPPORT & HARD WORK FROM KELLY....their wouldn’t be a BUS GREASE MONKEY!!!!!! Scott Ur so very LUCKY to have a Hard Working BEAUTIFUL WOMAN by ur side every step of the way!!! I don’t know any woman that would help do a BASTARD OF A JOB!!!! Thank You Kelly for all ur Hard work for Scott & all of us!!!
Scot & Kelly are an amazing couple! I am soooooo glad that they are in charge of repairing this 4104. There are too many horror stories of people doing shabby work, or not the right work, and charging high dollar prices, only to have the work needing to be redone. He is centrally located now, and Nashville is a terrific city to visit while they are working on your bus. Way to Scot & Kelly!!!!
Don't disregard the smooth and steady pulling power of the golf cart to help finesse your heavily loaded house out of the engine bay. For harder "controlled pulls" consider vertically burying some 4-foot lengths of 6" diameter steel pipes flush at several points along the perimeter of the pad and having caps on them to keep sand and water out till needed. When needing them as an anchor point, remove the cap and insert a slightly smaller diameter 8-foot length of pipe (or I-beam) into the 6" pipe. The pipe or beam sticking up can then be used to anchor a come-along or even an electric winch. The recessed receiver pipes would be out of the way til needed. Love your channel and really admire the way you and the amazing Miss Kelly work as a TEAM. Thank You guys for many hours of instructive and highly entertaining videos. Many of us are living vicariously through your videos.
Hello from Norway! WOW, the way you two work together.... no yelling, no arguing, not even a smallest raise in anger level or vioce... Thats the way it should bee. Just love the way you two combine skills and effort to get the job done. A suggestion for you: Can you please quote the prices of parts you install if you can. Or at least quote the listing price, if you got some extra deals on parts and dont want to show "your" price. I'll bet there is a lot of bus owners out there curious about that. love your videos. PLEASE keep them comming. I especially love this kind of videos.
When, I was young, my dad bought a 4104 and converted it to a motor home. This brought back so many memories, especially the reverse solenoid. Ours broke so it was my job to run to the back an do it manually. Good times!
Scott your Brain is T Book Of Eli. I watch how you study and pick apart every little thing and I`m blown away. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you both for your amazing videos, stay safe and God Bless.
Scot you do a top class engineers job on these old Detroit engines, Kelly your help is equally as important, you are very much a part of the dual success of this channel on utube. Peter UK
I was very impressed with the way that you and Kelly worked together to get that transmission out. I don't think it would have been so calm and polite if my wife and I tried the same thing. :-)
Maybe and only a big maybe I could take things apart, but there is no way I could get it back together!(UNLESS SCOTT WAS THERE TELLING ME) I’m always amazed at how knowledgeable and calm he is!
I’ve watched you do that out in the middle of nowhere. I still can’t believe you can do that (practically) on the side of the road. I sit there and go uhhhhh. You got a good helper. Reminds me of my late wife. She could read my mind after years of service work together.
You and Mrs. Grease money make it look so easy Scott! we are living in a country now where that grease on your hands and arms aren't acceptable for a skill trade, but, that's where the money is! in that grease! I'm an Industrial mechanic/electrician with plenty of grease! I don't do diesels though. One of the biggest reasons I haven't bought a bus is because of diesel work..Your swaying me over though, thank you for showing what it's like and how much work is involved. I'm looking. those old buses are VERY INDUSTRIAL, I'm thinking that maybe the deep work (cylinders, sleeves, rods, may not need that much work) seems like most of the problems are rust, grime, things that are stuck, and adjustments. Keep up the great work...
I just couldn't finish the video. It brought back Wayy to many Bad memories of being a mechanic. I really had to change occupations. That work was Too tough for a light weight like myself. I did it for 'bought thirty years.
Even though Scott and Tyler working together could have warranted a name change to 'Bus Grease Monkey's' seeing Kelly at work deserves more than an honorable mention for any name changes! She's the real deal! Great job Kelly!
Scott: have you thought about building an off grid type shower by the pad? It would be a small wood structure sort of like an old out-house with a bucket on top and a shower head with valve connected to the bucket. That way you can shower off without messing up the bus shower when you're extra dirty. I painted my bucket black and after a day in the sun the water is just right for a nice shower before going to my home. My wife likes it as well. She always uses it when she's been working outside.
Looks like at 22:56 there was something (dirt, metal glob) on the flywheel that was keeping it from seating all the way to the Crank. You can also see an indention I think in the end of the crankshaft at 23:00 that is about where it would have been as well. Love the video's.
Scott you and your wife make a great team! Great job getting the trans out. I saw what looked like a bead of weld slag between the flywheel and crank flange. That's probably what prevented it from fully tightening down.
Just received October 2020 Woodworking Journal, low and behold “Grease monkey” was referred to on a tool identification quiz. Drum brake maintenance tool for removing the spring and washer assembly. Scott and Kelly your site is being watched by a lot of us non bus owners but enjoy watching quality work being done. Transmission extraction was excellent, thanks once again for your efforts. William
Gotta say thanks for talking about those wipes so much. They're absolutely great. Swapping the transmission in my car currently, and nothing was getting the old, oil-soaked dirt and clutch dust sludge that was caked into the bell housing out. Had a bit of a brainwave and decided to try the wipes, and that finally did the trick to remove that slimy old gross mess. (And yes, I'm replacing every seal and gasket on the gearbox before I fill it back up and put it in my Annabelle, I wanna be completely sure it wasn't more than just a leaky rear main on the donor vehicle's engine.)
First of all what a fantastic job that you and Kelly have done, I like they way you investigate when you are doing any mechanical for the reason and the why and how things go wrong. I like that you put the fly wheel back to test for movement even though you were replacing parts, that is what I call dedication to you job and to the owner of the bus. Congratulations on your anniversary you have a fantastic assistant working with you giving you advice on some of the tasks that you both are doing. Love all your work Keith Calder Australia.
It’s great to watch you work, Scott. I’m really impressed with the work you do. You are really good, and really knowledgeable. I must say, Kelley is a really have a great helper. She did a fantastic job helping you remove that transmission.
I read some of the comments and echo all the positive ones regarding Kelly's assistance in this endeavour. I also hope you change that parking brake drum as it's trashed in my opinion. Keep the videos coming and be safe and healthy.
Fascinating Worked on all kinds of vehicles in my life, but never a pusher bus. As a past race car tech, was not impressed with that safety wire job No wonder it came loose Good job 👍
Kelly is like my wife, mine had a mechanic as a dad so when i met her she knew more about that stuff than i did, she just refuses to ever let me have a project sitting in the yard LOL. The good part is she is like Kelly and will give a hand if required and isnt worried if she gets her hands dirty. Any wife that understands that vehicles need to have money spent on them regularly is a keeper as it means when she wants to go somewhere you dont have to say cant cause the car/truck/bus is broken and then have her tell you its your fault because you didnt have maintenance done LOL
Been waiting for a miserable greasy hard to get out trans removal job for a while. This is what wrenching is all about. EVERYTHING is heavy as hell. Like to see how you work around the problems that come on a 70 year old buss. That's the diferance between a parts changer and a mechanic.
Back in the day, I loved working on my old British four cylinder cars. Nothing was so heavy as to be difficult. Looking at you struggle with that pressure plate makes me glad I did not work on anything heavier.
Ah, the background sounds of nature, combined with the sounds of wrenching on man made devices. Doesn't get much better than this....thanks Scott and Kelly.
After watching a few of your vids I went out and bought my own tub of the Gojo towels. I love them! I keep on showing people your vids as to how good they work and I always tell them to make sure you don't use the scrubbing side on your face or you might be screaming, LOL!
"Like & 'bell' "if I like old busses & detroit engines", uh, yeah, count me in. Already did, but still, yeah, old busses & Detroit's. You totally boosted my "Detroit diesel" thing up. The first I ever knew of them was a 4 cyl powered air compressor i saw derelict in the desert.
I fully agree with Peter Wall.. You offer an exceptional service, do your best to check everything. What your doing is something that can only be learnd over many years. What can I say, you the man, lol... I think your the best of the best. Onlyvthose of us that has 'turned wrenches' our whole life knows what it takes to do what your doing....I've yet to work on a bus, looks like it would be very interesting.......I'd say looking at all the grease on your arms, it's a detroit, lol
I guess you steam cleaned that whole mess, that is nice when you can do it. Even though you still get greasy. Great Video thanks William Orange County California.
Hey Scott & Kelly Kevin here from Australia. It's great to see you (and Kelly) on the tools. Anyhoo thankyou for sharing and you stay safe and stay well. ✌ Peace guys. 🌻
hello scoot and kelly wow that must really take alot of concentration and knowing how to do it taking all that apart which your very good at scott and with kellys help made it even more easyair to do so nice to see that you tightened the loose flywheel alot better yes i know your not done yet as i watch other videos i'll see how your coming along with it all so far what a amazing job your doing and i notice that yes those gojos rags/wides work very very great to take off all the grease on your hands and arms totally awesome so thankyou scott and kelly for this video until next one i say so log for now from Randy from ontario,canada take care p.s stay safe out there .
That bus has had a bit of a tough life, but the TLC she's getting now will have her purring like a lion soon enough. Hopefully all that vibration hasnt damaged anything too badly.
I had to watch this a second time because the first time was just admiration for Kelly? hope I got the name right how hands-on she is and getting greasy right alongside you, I wish I could get my missis to do things like this with me.
Sounds like you’re in my neck of the woods with those cicadas going on. It’s been like that all summer, every day all day. I’m kind of ready for some quiet.
Hey Scott do you realize what a diamond you have for a wife she's in their work in and doesn't care about getting dirty I'm so impressed you're such a lucky gentleman to have such an incredible 1st sebil wife and a best friend I know I have one just like her that makes both of us extremely lucky man James T North Carolina
Hey James, I happen to have one too. She’s been a nurse for a long time but she would rather put all that aside and work with me doing similar stuff or out plowing fields or something that allows her to get dirty!! Been married 27 years and keep thinking it can’t get better but it does each year! Most folks have no idea what they are missing by finding that right partner. Anyways James, we are up between Greensboro and Burlington and a bit south. Are you guys anywhere in my region or another part of the state? Take care James and stay safe out there!!
It’s so cool watching you work, you make things look easy when they definitely aren’t easy in the least. These people are so lucky there’s someone like you around!
I am an old diesel mechanic (Arizona mines) and I can't say why for sure but I find myself watching your videos and enjoying them. My wife made me take my work clothing off at the back door before I came in the house, we had no locker room and I was always greasy. I do have one question, wasn't the pilot bearing supposed to be a sealed bearing? it looked pretty dry with no lubrication shown. Just curious. Thanks for your videos.PS Your wife is awesome!
The cicadas are in full song! One time years ago when visiting my brother-in-law when he and his family were living near Lebanon, Indiana my wife and I were fascinated hearing them in the trees. Another visit, I saw fireflies for the first time. Neither exist in the Pacific Northwest.
G'day Scott n Kelly With all that metal missing ,the imbalance would cause more than enough vibration to wear the crank and flywheel surfaces and stretch the bolts , To every action ,there is an equal , but opposite , reaction . Nice job ,would have loved to see it completed . Much Respect from Down Under
I hope someone donates a fork truck to you someday so you can ease those transmissions out a little better That would make things a helluva lot easier. My Grandfather had a Hyster model about 15 years ago but he sold it to another garage . If it was still here ,You could have it but alas been gone awhile sorry. As soon as I saw that cherry picker moving ,I thought boy I wish that old fork truck was here .
It's possible that those flywheel bolts may have been used over several times not to mention possibly of being overtightened also. They may be stretched and probably getting ready to fail. It would be interesting to micrometer the length of the old bolts and compare them to new ones. There was a video you did a while ago where a couple of bolts broke in a crankshaft. This old girl luckily didn't get that far.
****** Scott...Ok, but the throwout bearing is against the fingers of the clutch springs normally. Without the transmission in place there is no pressure against the flywheel/crankshaft. If there’s no push back, you can’t tell if it’s fixed unless you push the flywheel in both directions. You’ve seen that there’s a bunch of pressure against the clutch/flywheel because the fingers are worn along with the throwout bearing. This is just an observation. If you checked thrust bearing play by prying the flywheel in both directions without the transmission in place, I couldn’t tell by the video. Thanks for the video! Great stuff.
Those Go jo wipes would be great for preventing poison ivy. The urushiol is like transparent grease - very hard to wipe off without friction from a towel. You usually have an hour or two after exposure to get it off your skin, and you've got to use a towel or you just move it around... Hmm. Gonna try them.
Scott .. FYI to clean your clothes use Fabulosa (purple color )all purpose cleaner in addition to your laundry soap..it can be found at Walmart cleaning section .. Delivered heating oil for years takes out grease and oil great.. Your welcome in advance.
I’ve always wanted a bus since I start camping over 30 years ago. After watching your videos I kind of thank myself for never making it happen. I know it’s a labor of love. But I don’t think my bank account can handle it. $500 For a solenoid😥. I guess I have the second best thing if you’re addicted to aluminum like I am. I’ve been an Airstream owner for over 15 years. #LivingInAluminum

I have so much respect for mechanics like yuor self, they are very common anymore, great job

Thank You Kelly for all ur Hard work for Scott & all of us!!!
I am glad to see these old buses are being saved by interested collectors. So many things of old are gone forever.
My wife was my helper for 30 years.Done Detroits and Cummins.Started in 1973.Women make good workers.We have 64 years now.Ya'll make a great team.
What a cool wife your wife is she gets right in there and helps you work on a old greasy Bus. 👍👍👍

Kelly does a awesome job of a mechanics helper Scott. You’re blessed to have her for a wife.

Kelly skills are getting good.. please keep her in the mechanic videos.. 😱 i know she doesnt want to get dirty.. but you two make a awesome team
Scott your Brain is T Book Of Eli. I watch how you study and pick apart every little thing and I`m blown away. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you both for your amazing videos, stay safe and God Bless.
Sir it is a pleasure to watch you work. I learn a great deal about technique. I also notice you work as a team; this is a delight.
Well said!!
Kelly deserves dinner out for all that work, you go Camera Girl....be safe, Tim and Cat
Scot you do a top class engineers job on these old Detroit engines, Kelly your help is equally as important, you are very much a part of the dual success of this channel on utube. Peter UK
Great video Scott and your lovely assistant
I was very impressed with the way that you and Kelly worked together to get that transmission out. I don't think it would have been so calm and polite if my wife and I tried the same thing. :-)
Kelly is a superb photographer. Her camera work is great, and is part of what makes this channel so good.
Maybe and only a big maybe I could take things apart, but there is no way I could get it back together!(UNLESS SCOTT WAS THERE TELLING ME) I’m always amazed at how knowledgeable and calm he is!
I’ve watched you do that out in the middle of nowhere. I still can’t believe you can do that (practically) on the side of the road. I sit there and go uhhhhh. You got a good helper. Reminds me of my late wife. She could read my mind after years of service work together.
Well done Kelly!! you both are calm, cool and collected working together...
You and Mrs. Grease money make it look so easy Scott! we are living in a country now where that grease on your hands and arms aren't acceptable for a skill trade, but, that's where the money is! in that grease! I'm an Industrial mechanic/electrician with plenty of grease! I don't do diesels though. One of the biggest reasons I haven't bought a bus is because of diesel work..Your swaying me over though, thank you for showing what it's like and how much work is involved. I'm looking. those old buses are VERY INDUSTRIAL, I'm thinking that maybe the deep work (cylinders, sleeves, rods, may not need that much work) seems like most of the problems are rust, grime, things that are stuck, and adjustments. Keep up the great work...
I just couldn't finish the video. It brought back Wayy to many Bad memories of being a mechanic. I really had to change occupations. That work was Too tough for a light weight like myself. I did it for 'bought thirty years.
56 thousand views in 3 days! You sure have hit on a winner Scott! I love your videos!
Even though Scott and Tyler working together could have warranted a name change to 'Bus Grease Monkey's' seeing Kelly at work deserves more than an honorable mention for any name changes! She's the real deal! Great job Kelly!

Great to see you working in oil again and so lucky to have a lovely wife also getting stuck in, looking forward to the re-assembly both. 🏴
You're a very blessed man to have Kelly to help you! She knows what is going on.
You made my morning finding loose flywheel bolts and wrong safety wires caused the loose flywheel. Phew, lucky escape there.
Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.
Scott you and your wife make a great team! Great job getting the trans out. I saw what looked like a bead of weld slag between the flywheel and crank flange. That's probably what prevented it from fully tightening down.
Just received October 2020 Woodworking Journal, low and behold “Grease monkey” was referred to on a tool identification quiz. Drum brake maintenance tool for removing the spring and washer assembly. Scott and Kelly your site is being watched by a lot of us non bus owners but enjoy watching quality work being done. Transmission extraction was excellent, thanks once again for your efforts. William
Gotta say thanks for talking about those wipes so much. They're absolutely great. Swapping the transmission in my car currently, and nothing was getting the old, oil-soaked dirt and clutch dust sludge that was caked into the bell housing out. Had a bit of a brainwave and decided to try the wipes, and that finally did the trick to remove that slimy old gross mess.
(And yes, I'm replacing every seal and gasket on the gearbox before I fill it back up and put it in my Annabelle, I wanna be completely sure it wasn't more than just a leaky rear main on the donor vehicle's engine.)
First of all what a fantastic job that you and Kelly have done, I like they way you investigate when you are doing any mechanical for the reason and the why and how things go wrong.
I like that you put the fly wheel back to test for movement even though you were replacing parts, that is what I call dedication to you job and to the owner of the bus.
Congratulations on your anniversary you have a fantastic assistant working with you giving you advice on some of the tasks that you both are doing.
Love all your work
Keith Calder Australia.
Kelly is a great helper, she has seen a lot of jobs and know things :-)
I think it's super cool your wife is helping you! I'm Glad to see her in more of your videos.
Everything on that bus looks clean, straight, and un-messed with. Somebody really loved it.
One thing I liked about working on Detroits was that I never had to worry about my tools rusting up.
I’m hooked on these videos. They’re relaxing and informative.
It’s great to watch you work, Scott. I’m really impressed with the work you do. You are really good, and really knowledgeable. I must say, Kelley is a really have a great helper. She did a fantastic job helping you remove that transmission.
I read some of the comments and echo all the positive ones regarding Kelly's assistance in this endeavour. I also hope you change that parking brake drum as it's trashed in my opinion. Keep the videos coming and be safe and healthy.
I really enjoy this type of videos and when Kelly is helping, the video becomes a 5 stars
11:00 Kelly saves input shaft!! Incredible lady, you're a LUCKY man.
Fascinating
Worked on all kinds of vehicles in my life, but never a pusher bus.
As a past race car tech, was not impressed with that safety wire job
No wonder it came loose
Good job 👍

Wow, talk about some seriously awesome teamwork.... good going Scott & Kelly!!
Watching those wipes holy crap 🤯 never seen something work so good on diesel oil!!!
I am so impressed with your ability to just start taking things apart and see what you find, Great job !
You're definitely good at what you do be proud of yourself I never could do that
Excellent team couple!!!
keep videos coming
cheers from California.
Ah, the background sounds of nature, combined with the sounds of wrenching on man made devices. Doesn't get much better than this....thanks Scott and Kelly.
The world is returning to normal. I'm glad to see no gonads were crushed during the flywheel removal.
If you notice he had a board mounted cross-ways to catch the flywheel and protect his sensitive important bits.
Kelly, what a trooper!! You're a lucky man Scott!!
After watching a few of your vids I went out and bought my own tub of the Gojo towels. I love them!
I keep on showing people your vids as to how good they work and I always tell them to make sure you don't use the scrubbing side on your face or you might be screaming, LOL!
I WANTED TO JUMP INTO THE SCREEN AND HELP 😄 BUT KELL HAD ME COVERED 👍
"Like & 'bell' "if I like old busses & detroit engines", uh, yeah, count me in. Already did, but still, yeah, old busses & Detroit's. You totally boosted my "Detroit diesel" thing up. The first I ever knew of them was a 4 cyl powered air compressor i saw derelict in the desert.

I guess you steam cleaned that whole mess, that is nice when you can do it. Even though you still get greasy. Great Video thanks William Orange County California.
Hey Scott & Kelly Kevin here from Australia.
It's great to see you (and Kelly) on the tools.
Anyhoo thankyou for sharing and you stay safe and stay well.
✌ Peace guys. 🌻
and thats why bolts need to be torqued down well especially the important ones like the ones on a flywheel.
Thomas Telling preload is very important
wow great old bus nice job scott
Kelly’s a decent videographer
Good advertising for Go-Jo wipes. Wow they look like they work great!
Safety wire, I saw aviation safety side on some nuts......who knew?
Great bus, super video. Thanks.
hello scoot and kelly wow that must really take alot of concentration and knowing how to do it taking all that apart which your very good at scott and with kellys help made it even more easyair to do so nice to see that you tightened the loose flywheel alot better yes i know your not done yet as i watch other videos i'll see how your coming along with it all so far what a amazing job your doing and i notice that yes those gojos rags/wides work very very great to take off all the grease on your hands and arms totally awesome so thankyou scott and kelly for this video until next one i say so log for now from Randy from ontario,canada take care p.s stay safe out there .
I hope that Kelly's time and effort is included in your charges,
Lawrence idk if anyone can afford Kelly’s time
That bus has had a bit of a tough life, but the TLC she's getting now will have her purring like a lion soon enough. Hopefully all that vibration hasnt damaged anything too badly.
Your coworker seems to work very well with you . 👍🖐
I had to watch this a second time because the first time was just admiration for Kelly? hope I got the name right how hands-on she is and getting greasy right alongside you, I wish I could get my missis to do things like this with me.
Sounds like you’re in my neck of the woods with those cicadas going on. It’s been like that all summer, every day all day. I’m kind of ready for some quiet.
Excellent job on The Video Work!!! Thanks for letting us See Your Good Work!!!
Hey Scott do you realize what a diamond you have for a wife she's in their work in and doesn't care about getting dirty I'm so impressed you're such a lucky gentleman to have such an incredible 1st sebil wife and a best friend I know I have one just like her that makes both of us extremely lucky man James T North Carolina
Well aware how awesome she is
Hey James, I happen to have one too. She’s been a nurse for a long time but she would rather put all that aside and work with me doing similar stuff or out plowing fields or something that allows her to get dirty!! Been married 27 years and keep thinking it can’t get better but it does each year! Most folks have no idea what they are missing by finding that right partner.
Anyways James, we are up between Greensboro and Burlington and a bit south. Are you guys anywhere in my region or another part of the state?
Take care James and stay safe out there!!
It’s so cool watching you work, you make things look easy when they definitely aren’t easy in the least. These people are so lucky there’s someone like you around!
Crazy angled drive , never seen that before.
Love the mud dauber nest......Enjoy watching you work!!!!!!!!.....Pressure washer might have been nice the day before you started wrenching!!!!
I am an old diesel mechanic (Arizona mines) and I can't say why for sure but I find myself watching your videos and enjoying them. My wife made me take my work clothing off at the back door before I came in the house, we had no locker room and I was always greasy. I do have one question, wasn't the pilot bearing supposed to be a sealed bearing? it looked pretty dry with no lubrication shown. Just curious. Thanks for your videos.PS Your wife is awesome!
The cicadas are in full song! One time years ago when visiting my brother-in-law when he and his family were living near Lebanon, Indiana my wife and I were fascinated hearing them in the trees. Another visit, I saw fireflies for the first time. Neither exist in the Pacific Northwest.
Wait for the full emergence which I think is in 3 years, it every 17 years. It will be insane noisy and they will be everywhere
G'day Scott n Kelly
With all that metal missing ,the imbalance would cause more than enough vibration to wear the crank and flywheel surfaces and stretch the bolts ,
To every action ,there is an equal , but opposite , reaction .
Nice job ,would have loved to see it completed .
Much Respect

I hope u get well paid for this ,,it's savage heavy work, u have my respect,,peace
I hope someone donates a fork truck to you someday so you can ease those transmissions out a little better That would make things a helluva lot easier. My Grandfather had a Hyster model about 15 years ago but he sold it to another garage . If it was still here ,You could have it but alas been gone awhile sorry. As soon as I saw that cherry picker moving ,I thought boy I wish that old fork truck was here .
I enjoy watching this channel so much, I love these old buses I want one real bad, I have an old Thor motor home
Go Kelly, Go Kelly! ;-). I got a tub of the Go-Jo towels at Lowes right before the pandemic. They haven't had them since! Amazon it is....
I like those rags you use to get the oil off .
It's possible that those flywheel bolts may have been used over several times not to mention possibly of being overtightened also. They may be stretched and probably getting ready to fail. It would be interesting to micrometer the length of the old bolts and compare them to new ones.
There was a video you did a while ago where a couple of bolts broke in a crankshaft. This old girl luckily didn't get that far.
Nothing wrong with a man earning a living with his hands and not afraid of a little dirt.
****** Scott...Ok, but the throwout bearing is against the fingers of the clutch springs normally. Without the transmission in place there is no pressure against the flywheel/crankshaft. If there’s no push back, you can’t tell if it’s fixed unless you push the flywheel in both directions. You’ve seen that there’s a bunch of pressure against the clutch/flywheel because the fingers are worn along with the throwout bearing. This is just an observation. If you checked thrust bearing play by prying the flywheel in both directions without the transmission in place, I couldn’t tell by the video. Thanks for the video! Great stuff.
hi! Scott you should show us a close look at that belly pan so we can see how it is done , Kelly sure knows the tool now , good video thank-you both
Should’ve dropped about five gallons of degreaser back there while you were at it! Thanks for the video
Those Go jo wipes would be great for preventing poison ivy. The urushiol is like transparent grease - very hard to wipe off without friction from a towel. You usually have an hour or two after exposure to get it off your skin, and you've got to use a towel or you just move it around... Hmm. Gonna try them.
Aí não é mole não viu é puxado.
Parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏 !!!
Scott .. FYI to clean your clothes use Fabulosa (purple color )all purpose cleaner in addition to your laundry soap..it can be found at Walmart cleaning section .. Delivered heating oil for years takes out grease and oil great.. Your welcome in advance.
I’ve always wanted a bus since I start camping over 30 years ago. After watching your videos I kind of thank myself for never making it happen. I know it’s a labor of love. But I don’t think my bank account can handle it. $500 For a solenoid😥. I guess I have the second best thing if you’re addicted to aluminum like I am. I’ve been an Airstream owner for over 15 years. #LivingInAluminum
I was thinking, “Welp we just need to make sure we never need to back up again” 😂
Time to start an "Emergency Fund" ...
in case you need a back-up. 😉
