Nice features on the flashlight. But I sure question when a company states lumens. There is one youtube channel which now tests lumens output properly using a calibrated tester. Love watching these bus repair videos. Real world and real information. Plus is honest in his work. Great to watch.
Thank you guys really enjoyable..I don't own a bus (I'm an engine driver allways on a train somewhere) but l sure do love the knowledge you all have and how you work around problems..thank-you once again really enjoy your little part of the world regards Doc from Down under
Nice job on the apartment.👍🐕
Looks like working on those lovely old buses, has gotten a whole lot more pleasurable for you Scott, imagine it will be even better when the shop can be closed off to the elements..
Who in their right minds would give this video a thumbs down. I’m besides myself. Blows my mind. Keep up the good work Scott. I’m about to change rear drums, brakes and seals on my bus. I don’t have a Scott but I got a Dave and he is very good. Knows his stuff like Scott. He ain’t cheap 🤣 Of course guys who know their stuff like Scott ate worth their wages.
I am going to guess they are owners that would have tried to use the old airbags. Not realizing that age of the rubber will bite what ever owner that tries to use them.
I watch numerous videos and think the exact same thing. I have decided that it is people not aware of what they have clicked or an algorithm.
Numpties who think they know everything, that's who
Oh is everyone all supposed think the same way and all do the same thing. People can dislike what they want just like you can whine about someone hitting a thumbs down on someone else video. Shame they dont track comment dislikes (might hurt your feelings way to much I guess) but they allow thumbs up to show.I thumbs down YOUR comment just so YOU know...
@@tigerspook1 But hitting the thumbs up is any DIFFERENT..
Nice work both you and Tyler. As always.
The patience of saints! and bus mechanics….
There is a neoprene / rubber conditioner and rejuvenator, called AT - 205. Check ebay. Use a spray bottle, and spray it on airbags, rubber grommets, etc. It is a polymer, and works to rejuvenate seals, orings, etc. Give it a try; I did, and was impressed........
Chris is a great name for a young man! Hope he's proud of it. 👍
Real nice repair and the construction is really coming along.
Parts washer pump looks remarkably similar to a small pond pump 👍
I really enjoy your videos and I like that trick filling the differential from the end. Your airbag trick was nice too. Whoever designed that air fitting to go in the middle and not provide some room to get to it obviously never had to work on it. Lots of Luck with the framing of the apartment.
That airbag was like I'm gonna explode really soon. That was some grazy rubber deteriation. Also nice trick with the rubber glove to catch oil.
suggest you have the slope around the hut pad 'set' to drain water around & away to a rock basin/catch pond to slow the runoff to control it. can also use it for a berry patch or small orchard if it gets enough sunlight. Looking Good
Flex head ratcheting wrench is the answer to that problem! Also, for parts cleaning I suggest researching The Tacoma Company. They have the highest quality vapor blasting tool available anywhere. Combined with a proper cabinet this will add a new dimension to your finished work. You could for instance dry blast that nasty brake setup and have it looking factory fresh. It is a proven time saver compared to other similar products. Available ONLY through the company directly. No resellers.
This sounds like an add for that vapor blasting thing🤔. I agree with ratcheting wrenches though if one would go on there
Pouring the gear oil in the end of the axle is an awesome trick. I have used a long hose on a funnel to fill diffs on big trucks but your way will be tried if the axle is out
Looks like you had some good stuff in that parts washer
You spent a lot of time on that bushing I feel like I know it well
You may want to look into tubing ratchet wrenches for those airbag lines. I don’t own a bus, but enjoy watching the work you do. Great work!
I was wondering if there was such a tool.
I think there a lot of us here that don't own a bus!!🤣🤣Still often wonder why I'm here like 2 years later!!!🤷🤣 I do enjoy watching him work, his knowledge, skill, ability to explain, and the old craftsmanship.
Ahhh those airbags would have been just fine with a little sikaflex! You are so conservative! Really, those were hanging on by a hope and a prayer. Nice work.
doesn't work,but is perfect on CV joints as long as not too much lube has been flung out.
Hi all. Those airbags seem to give problems in removal. Could you not get an air saw and cut the rubber top and bottom leaving a big gap to work with!
Looking good on the apartment exterior wall big windows very nice.
Monaco S-Series chassis (Roadmaster) raise their tag axles in a a similar manner. They use an air brake chamber to lift a linkage and pull a chain to raise the tag axle slightly for tight turns. Works well. Mike
I know the Olight ads are ubiquitous, but I own one and it's my favorite flashlight. Came in damn handy during a recent power outage. And I could recharge it from my car.
I need a game changer flashlight! Tired of compromises and excuses from old school brands
pretty cool place you guys found in tennesee i know this blonde gal that wants to move their stat! shes 51 just got divorced she just sold her 10 acres in illonois.she found 2 places in tennesee she liked but both failed inspection i guess.love your videos.i remember driving old ford semis short nosed ones with square sleepers in the early 80s hated them they wound so loud but slow up nebraska hills like 25mph topping hill 80000lbs I tryed to like them but when the 350 400cummins hit they blew them old detroits away and quieter.i still have a soft spot though for the old v12s detroit peterbuilt cabovers
Thats cool with the dial .. most flashlights have 2 settings - either too little or WAY too much
good video, I'll be watching u from another tv box & might not be able to send any comments
When I seen the differential drain plug it’s like Dang 😳. It’s been awhile since it’s been serviced.
The lights for your forehead are awesome for working on vehicles. Lightweight and cast light everywhere without blinding you.
Should have filmed the installation of the S Cam bushing.......that was really finished. Why had it worn so badly?
Put balance beads in all of the tires and flat spotting and tire out of balance vibrations will be gone. Extends the life of tires. Use the old airbags to make air cushion mounts for an outdoor couch or bed.
OMG that air line nut. I loes my mind on that. So I was thinking. Try a rubber strap and see if after its lose use a strap to ture it off. Just a thought
I wonder if you can get Silicone air bags
That air line fitting nut needs more sides. I don't know what sort of layers are in air bags, but that's a lot of bad rubber.
Have you thought about an electric fuel pump for the pressure washer?
Awesome
Money maker. Wow. Great job
Heck the date on that airbag was 6 years old! What is the age you want to remove those things? Like a tire is 10 years what age do you want to get an airbag off?
Would a brake line wrench set have worked on that air bag ?
Since you replace so many big wheel bearings do you save the removed bearings in a 5 gallon can with a water proof lid for future knife making projects or for local knife makers
Excellent suggestion !!!
👍👍
Little Giant 518550 Submersible Parts Washer Pump, expensive but works great
Do they require building permits on your "apt" / "garage" building and also require the same building codes and inspections that they do on anything else that is going to be lived in ?
Of course we have a building permit and inspections
Ive never seen brake shoes that you could just bolt on new material
Scott, do you think a protectant like aerospace 303 sprayed on the inside and outside of the new air bags will help them last longer?
Wouldn’t hurt
You are very lucky to repair pillows without oxides. In Russia, aggressive chemicals are poured on the roads in winter and work with the suspension of the car becomes a horror. I repaired a lot of cars-there are big problems with disassembly everywhere. Even aluminum parts of cars decompose from this chemistry into a white powder. The AUDI wings disappear in 5 years,only the paint remains.This is just an example. This is a business. Previously, the waste of the chemical industry had to be disposed of. Then they came up with the idea of pouring on the roads against the ice. The authorities pay business from the budget . benefit. They forgot about nature. Everyone pays taxes and they are spent on this abomination. We tried to protest,to fight. But it doesn't work against the lobby.
Grease worms ate the bushings
It take a alot to I'd a air bag when looking up find part number on the bellow and measurements the base and the top unless you get lucky and comes off with old part numbers if able to get or crossover that when a good parts man worth his pay
Hi Scott. This is Mark Brown Fromm calif. I was wondering seems like you change a lot of airbags. What is the life of an airbag. I am just curious. Thank you have a blessed day
I change a lot of Rubber parts continuously. Rubber seems to handle different environments at different time intervals. But 6-10 years on many rubber components seem to show significant deterioration. 10-15 years is a roll of the dice on some and any more than that and you are at great risk of immediate catastrophic failure.
I knew about the tires never thought about the airbags. Thanks Scott.
Thanks Scott for answering my question
For some jobs u need a lot of patience. Did you ever thought to kill the developing Engineers? To unscrew this pressure line was no other way to do it? Would it have been cheaper (Labour against material) to cut the pressure line?
Try a crows foot socket on that line
Tried it. It kept getting stuck and was much harder
Do you know the difference in cowboy boots and engineer boots ? The cowboy boots have the BS on the outside....
Anyone know how much an air bag costs these days?
$125-150 usually
Oil and EPDM rubber do not get along
I hate the water-based stuff. The stuff separates with time and once that happens it's ruined.
Another flashlight I cannot afford.
Why did you not cut that f"/$king air line and use a union where you can get to it .
Because it was Friday night and the bus was leaving in the morning. Cut it and not have the parts it would be stuck here for days.
Hi Scott. I just want to have the first comment. Thanks.
