1953 Kenworth Bus; Leaky and Drippy Things

[@almirria6753]

You Tubes greatest junk yard engineer/shop teacher. And I never miss a vid. And wishing I was closer to you so we could talk vehicles.

[@beakittelscherz5419]

*Amen* to that!

You're not wrong, AFAICT... I wish I was close, too. I'm in NC.

Bus says to new owner, "Thanks for the update and maintenance…..I needed that like a drink of water in the desert". Thanks for the video.

[@kirkhemmens1626]

You should build an outhouse at the mine. Nothing better than crapping on your own land in an outhouse. Just leave plenty of moth balls and other snake / critter deterrents and you'll be fine. You should get fancy and build a 2- holer. With a separating wall for group emergencies. It would make a great video. Be sure to put the toilet paper in an old sealed coffee can to keep the mice away like my grandma. Also leave a can of wasp/ bug spray at the ready. It's an adventure your children will remember.

[@Imperor]

I really love your style and humor. Great video as always!

[@Gregknows-uj8gg]

Yes! I agree with you. Sort of humorous. Puts a light hearted twist on my serious kind of life.

Those plastic welders can be a lifesaver, I fixed a battery that had a hole in it months ago, and it's still holding strong. Just never use those inside, otherwise a headache is inevitable.

[@AfroMyrdal]

The good thing about today is a new low buck garage video! The bad thing? Only 17 minutes long! 😭 I'm rewatching young old videos from when I discovered your channel. They always bring a smile to my hoarding face 😁👌🏻

[@teciagreen7718]

So glad I found this channel! I have a better understanding of underneath the hood. And you are hilarious.

We really wish you would create more videos Sir. Love your humor and ingenuity. You should really have many more subscribers!

The "Blow by" on your spark plug is Corona Stain, when the boot does not cover that portion the plug, it gets charged and attracts particles.

[@1976Datsun]

4:50 Great explanation of how the dipstick works, with the pickup and the crank weights. Many people add a certain amount of oil and mark the stick based on where the level ends up.

[@69Dartman]

I had to replace the dipstick tube on my Dart 318 when it finally broke off in the block. I found a nice aluminum one in the junk bin at my you pullit and I just marked the dipstick to match when it was full. I don't remember if I ever found a original one again but it worked and was free or dirt cheap.

[@bradbarfoot2280]

When working on cracked plastic, drill holes at each end of the crack to stop it from advancing. Also, when using the hot staples, apply heat, twist the gun slightly in order to draw the two sides of the crack closer together. Then release the trigger for hardening.

[@christianbattestin9747]

You found The Rock's favorite town!

[@CoalChrome]

Im surprised NGK spark plugs were having issues

[@ScottDLR]

Great vid! I always enjoy your bus vids (and mine vids too). Holding tanks are usually ABS - just like drainage pipe. If your repair doesn't hold up, you can use ABS cement and some ABS pipe shavings, a piece of pipe or a flat sheet of ABS (ACE H/W) to permanently patch it

[@midwestmafia8391]

I would totally live on that property. That would be heaven!

[@LovelessAndroid]

Careful with that oil pan! I've seen cheaply painted pans slough off inside the engine and the paint blocks the oil pickup. Love the bus series!

[@ColvinAvianBreadline]

zip ties make a great filler material for plastic welding. Great video!

[@curtislowe4577]

Surely you can find enough material to erect/construct a pole barn over the bus. There is no downside to protection from the elements other than not knowing if a leak has developed.

Very very excited for more mine content, that thing is so rad and i cant wait to see all the cool stuff you got to keep! (hopefully the cool stuff remained)

[@beakittelscherz5419]

This is a brilliant channel, you’re a very knowledgeable feller. A++

[@BourgognePiaf]

Just what I needed before starting my day.

[@laserhawk64]

Daaang, those battleship desks you had to move to park the bus, those are really awesome. Just need a coat of paint on each of em. Pity I can't even afford to make you an offer, and I'm in NC besides, so shipping would be atrocious. A pity, I've always loved those things. Borderline indestructible without the use of military grade explosives.

[@rcpmac]

Love everything you’ve done on the bus so far. I wish the roof scoop was more like the shape of the bus lines. I know that sometime you will come across a ductwork 90 that has a soft curve which would look like original equipment. This could still be done the Low-Buck way and you wouldn’t lose any respect. That bus looks so comfortable when it’s tripping. Hope it’s fun to drive.

[@KixBryant]

I found it very satisfying using a plastic welder.😊

[@goptools]

The new property is the place to go! All that room, and stuff everywhere. It's like heaven! A friend of mine told me that there were NGK knock off spark plugs floating around. I wonder if you got a set of them. Apparently, there are a lot of junk auto parts being made that look the same, are cheap, but do not work. You can't tell by looking at it, what is good and what is junk!

[@brianramsey4097]

Trust me sir you are not the only one getting sick and tired of buying new parts and they're broke right out of the box. here within the last year it has really gotten bad 9 out of 10 things I order are bad. I'm really tired of people saying by made in America. here's my response to that .I will gladly use it if you can afford to pay for it I just cannot afford anything hardly American made and therein lies the problem with American made. Truly love your videos looking forward to the next video.

Thanks for these wonderful videos they sure do bring me some good peace and education.

There's only one thing I can't stand worse than getting into my excrement, and that's someone else's, shew James, you're really getting right to the top of my Yuck, list. I hope you don't breathe the smoke fumes from that tank! Just normal oil, no chunks no water, that's refreshing! That bus seems like it's going pretty good, I hope you don't "park" it there too long. That is a mobile family unit, all you have to add is a lake or river and you have instant resort. Nice video James, thank you for getting it up on the net. ben/ michigan

[@morgansword]

Almost certain the pallet jack in front of the Oliver will be rebuilt in a future video. That bus has turned out to be one amazing vehicle for you and family. You are a guy who puzzles me as to the amount of talents you have somehow taught yourself. I found another channel that may entertain your skill sets. I am amazed at how many Canadians are just some of the best in metal fabrication. No link as they may contain a virus so the guys name is Nick and his dad who also a metal master is similar in sound but memories of names are just not in my wheelhouse anymore. That channel name is INNvision Prototypes. Since you enjoy quite a bit of mopar stuff and do fab work.... I think your going to gain some more to those skills your already aware of. I bent and welded different metals in my day of fab and mechanicing so please check this out. Hope the Enino is finally over and our weather will kind of resume some normalcy

[@thomasexeter97]

Be careful with cheap oil pans. I’ve seen a Deboss Garage video where he had to rebuild a cummins because the paint peeled off an aftermarket oil pan and got sucked into the oil pump.

[@jeffhutchins7048]

Dear LBG. 👍👌👏 Well done again (video and work). I definitely like your old family bus. 2) It really seems that nowadays absolutely each and everything new is crap respectively at least not as good as older stuff was. 3) Unfortunately your second property seems to be far away from your home/house/workshop. Hope not too far away. As always: Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and especially health to all of you.

I never put antifreeze in the potable water tanks on RV’s. Since the tanks can never be completely drained it takes forever to flush out the bad taste of the antifreeze. Just drain it and leave the valves open. What little water is left will freeze but it won’t hurt anything. I love that old bus!

[@johncooke1386]

[@dr.toxicgamingmadscientist]

"And suddenly, there was less pie." That's a brilliant way of saying: "We ate the entire pie and hit the road thereafter".

[@waverider48]

I've been using one of those plastic welding guns for a couple months; best way i've found to use them is to let the wire staple melt in about halfway, then give it a little twist before you let off the trigger. That little twist helps imbed the staple actually in plastic with solid not melted plastic on either side. Really seemed to give it more strength. Plus use the "wavy" staple length wise so the wavy staple acts like a stich and you'll have less movement.

[@markellii3093]

What a beautiful bus. I about love it as much as the "2 dollar" jeep.

[@BD-xz6te]

Good job finding the mysterious current drain. If you ever have an intermittent one, here is the easy way find it. Hook your battery to a charger/maintainer and hook a small light bulb between the battery and load. Hang the bulb out somewhere where you can see it as you pass by. When the light is on, you can unhook things, one at a time until the light goes back out. That is most likely what is coming on and killing the battery.

[@carld3184]

Thank you for testing that plastic repair gun, I will probably buy one based on your demonstration. Good fun video, as usual.
