Lots of hard work on the Wanderlodge rv

[@Dukemeistro]

Scott, I truly admire your work, work ethic, integrity, and your awesome personality and attitude! You are really an extraordinary guy! I hope that I get a chance to meet you one day. God bless you man.

[@donmoore7785]

I'm not going to lie - it is a lot more fun to watch this than be involved, from my perspective. Kudos to you for taking on these jobs.

[@silasmarner7586]

Agreed. I don't want to work on rust/salt/corrosion/neglect workshop items on a slab out in the weather, but it's better than what he WAS doing, which was working on muddy grass. He's come a long way but man I'd charge for the need to abuse my body like this.

[@FUCK_________googIe]

im sure your sentiment would be considerably different if you had practically endless customers to make $100/hr off of

[@kingjames8283]

If it's any consolation for the future, airbag studs are designed to shear off by deliberately overtightening (over torque) them. If an airbag is not going to be reused and is going to be replaced, the old studs will simply shear off allowing bag replacement in under 5-minutes. I've done both my Freightliner and International trucks this way as well as both trailers. I'm glad Jerry decided on replacing slack adjusters and brake chambers as those babies were old, damned old. I only use Gunite slack adjusters and brake drums on all my equipment with Meritor shoes. That is a beautiful camper bus, can't wait to see the inside of it. Mike's Wanderlodge was also exceptionally nice.

Got a tip for cutting that silicone hose. Put a hose clamp where you want to cut and use that as an edge for your razor knife. It will cut very clean and straight.

[@lepowell9095]

I absolutely love what your doing thanks for the great videos i truly enjoy every one. I’m also of the opinion that it’s a wonderful service you for provide for the old buses, As forest would say you just can find that anywhere, And that makes you a Gem.

Greetings! One of the best vlogs in recent memory, Scott! A bit of everything from several "patients", lots of interesting tidbits of info; the only things lacking from this being a Grand Slam piece was maybe a pithy comment from Momma and a cameo by Leroy, the bus version of Mack truck's iconic bulldog!!

[@kb5hxt]

because of your vid, i am looking at a 1985 Wanderlodge PT40 for sale near me I now know what to look for when looking at the vehicle in person. please keep on making these vids, as i enjoy every minute watching you and your customers give them more life, or rebirth in some cases.

[@neil6212]

Given the price and reputation of the Wanderlodge, I'm amazed at how crummy the chassis engineering is! As an example, mounting of the air bags, and use of what is essentially air hose for compressor coolant! Forty years ago, when I worked for Trailways, we made up our hoses in house, and used the stainless steel jacketed hose with the Teflon inner. Good forever. Also used a special hose for the compressor output. As I remember, the MCI and Eagle used the exact same part.

[@jonjacob1962]

Get you some wider, thicker tires to widen the track a little and give you a little more cushion for rocks and shit and that cart will be perfect. Lol. My step father used to race at dirt tracks and he did something fairly similar except he just welded the axels of an old wagon directly to the tool chest. Then he used some smaller lawn tractor tires and wheels. Worked like a champ. Lol.

[@kwshilts]

[@claytoncomeaux414]

[@imchris5000]

air chisel is the fastest way the get air bags out if your not reusing the hardware just blast through between the plates to break the studs. people forget how much a good chisel will cut

[@archstanton9206]

That is a very nice Bus and you guys are doing a nice job on it. That lug mismatch situation is, as you said...not good. If you get in a jam and have to do one on the side of the road that is one thing, but 3 on one wheel...no thanks. I have been shopping a new bottom roll cab tool box for 5 months or so, and since Snap On, Mac and the others want good used truck money, and the used ones I have seen are usually beat to death, I have looked hard at the US General line..(just a guy with a at home shop and projects, and I help certain people). The US General is, imho, better than the competitors at the big box home improvement stores. I am going to buy here shortly. I am tired of having tools all over the shop, my current top and bottom roll are simply full beyond full. Looking at the 72x22. Once that is sorted I may copy your rolling tool cart idea. Here I would probably put "off road" wheels and tires on it, I've done so to a floor jack and it makes life much better when working outside on uneven ground.

[@briandavis9975]

Scott nice little mobile cart you might want to add some weight on the bottom so it's not so top heavy and it would take a dive turning around or any uneven ground I'm sure you all ready knew this we use carts like this at work and you be surprised how many people think things will work and it's an accident waiting to happen kind of like the stupid repairs you've come across right good looking cart though now I want one buddy.

[@imchris5000]

hey a trick for knocking studs out with the air hammer is to put the nut part way on so the punch cant slip off

[@stevesidden9584]

Excellent show very informative God bless stay safe

[@chriswoodward5368]

Scott when working on brake pots you may find it easer to get the Clevis of the shaft like This pushes the shaft out it all the with shop air in most cases this holds the shaft from Turing. If you do this will it is still on the truck or in your case on the buss you can now heat the clevis to a nice glow and it will come off very easily. I have worked on a lot of rusty trucks in my time the torch is your best friend every time when fighting rust. Keep up the good work.

[@FreedomRock44]

Good Job Boys.....Love seeing how far in expertise you guys have now become!!!! Sorry bout the fingers Scott!!!!! Yowza that looks like it was painful!!!!!! Like old torture methods from the dark ages!!!!!

[@cliffspencer3173]

I have one of those garden carts. Pretty stout, but be prepared to reinflate the tires every time you want to move it. I'm probably going to put flat free tires on mine, but they're going to cast a much as the cart did.

[@DomingoDeSantaClara]

I feel your pain getting to some of those awkward bolts,I used to build Scania coaches,we would get the chassis to a driveable state then send them off to the body builders. When they came back for pre delivery we would go over the whole thing and re-torque everything,but of course the body builders gave no consideration for maintenance access which could be a nightmare for us. Much worse for you guys dealing with rust as well.

[@henrysosebee9241]

Love this channel. I have that HF cart...as do many others of course. Those HF US General tool carts are a great value...maybe the best single item from a value perspective that HF has. For that matter, the whole US General line is a great value. IMHO, no one matches the quality of that cart at that price. Great idea for getting that cart around in this work environment. Just keep it under 70 and you'll be fine.

[@dp.oennismaurer205]

Scott, great video as usual, very in- formative. These coaches need some TLC underneath by their owners to wash off road salt and grime. This would make your maintenance job much easier. An old concrete cleaner for oil used to be TIDE in powder form. Wet the cement apply the TIDE and use a scrub brush with a handle. DAWN is probably good also.

Had a co-worker at my store order some hub caps for a customer. It's what the customer asked for, what they meant was wheel covers. But the co-worker who is younger than my car just typed "hub cap" into the search box and ordered what was there. I have no idea what they actually fit but they look just like the axle covers at 18:58. And yes, I did get the customer the wheel covers she actually needed and wanted.

Get a longer piece of steel for each of the axles on your new tool cart... Learned this lesson while pulling one of those carts loaded with a generator with my golf cart... worked well until I took a corner a little fast... the wider wheel spacing solved the problem... Pat

[@starkey218]

Some ratcheting wrench would have came in handy for this job, the cart would be nice to add a bottom basket with a little door In between the tires so it has lower gravity and more storage but of Course conference for turning radius also you can add saddle looking baskets on the side what a great idea though

Are you using anti-seize on those nuts for the air bags and stuff? I bought a big jar of the silver stuff off Amazon for $8. I even used it when I rebuilt my Cummins HE351CW turbo where the carrier joins to the turbine housing, so rusted about impossible to get it apart.
