Mci bus quick maintenance

[@clayfarnet970]

Keep as much ice on it as you can to reduce inflammation. Ice, ice and more ice. Good luck.

[@shawnreed9016]

Glad to hear your back is feeling better.

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

Glad to see you're doing better. People don't seem to understand that the grounds are very important to the operation and charging of the batteries. Glad you found that issue before it became a bigger one. Thanks Scott.

[@charlietaylor6389]

Love your videos and the fact that you share your knowledge with us BUT you’re wife should get a huge thank you for being the unsung hero behind the camera 👍

[@irgski]

MCI’s a clean rig!

[@louiscoryell5058]

Do your back exercises. They are what healed my back when it went out badly. Chiropractor was good but my orthopaedist was better. Sent me to therapy to learn the hack exercises I do to this day. 20 years ago! Keep up the good work on the busses.

[@carriebrumley8926]

Hi glad to see you up and moving. Dont push it to hard. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Great video thanks for sharing

[@billyhellboy6138]

That was a pretty sorted bus looks cool as hell

I’m transporting a new MCI CRT (2 door) from the west coast to the east coast. MC7 is my favorite of the old. Enjoyed the 4106.

1. Leroy seems to have gotten a bit trimmer but most certainly rolled back several years; he is EXACTLY in his happy, healthy zone and loving every second of his new existence! You guys are wonderful!

You updated the BGM song! Love the new additions.

[@1776vtgmb]

Love the theme song! Those power plant stacks near the end are I believe on the Ohio River. Because of obunghole's war on coal, they didn't install precipitators and scrubbers since they figured they were going to be scrapped. So sad that we are being run down and sold out.

Love your stuff. Just caught the bus bug with an 87 bluebird. Keep it coming!!

[@jimstpierre4018]

Nice to see you moving around ...stay safe

[@rayanehaddad8406]

the song at the end was quite nice

[@larryanderson8049]

south main auto repair llc is good for electrical problems also, Wayne's advice may be best in this case...some times wonder about the conductivity of the bus body itself...corrosion loose rivets etc. maybe overkill, but a ground bus from battery to engine to dash panel and serving all load points may not be a bad idea....my .02

[@topcrust7326]

I just saw a preview of a movie , The Prom . The MCI just pulled up in front of a very swanky hotel . LOOKING GOOD !

I have to say I love the additions to the song. It would wonderful if it grew with you. Like a musical Recording of your journeys through life.

[@peterfloro7713]

Hi Scott. Glad that you are recovering from your back injury. Noticed that you have solar panels laying in the dirt near to your bus. Not sure if they are hooked up or not but I thought I would suggest mounting them on an array frame work which would keep them out of the dirt, and also possibly from getting damaged by falling debris from storms etc. Welding up a framework is not very difficult, or having someone do it for you and mounting up your panels would give you the option of possibly expanding the array later on as your needs grow. Just a thought. Continued success in your projects and Best to you and family for a safe Christmas and Holiday season.

[@sasuva1]

Keep up the good work and the videos Scott!

[@jerrymoore9116]

When changing the cooling system parts you can put a shop vac (partial suction) on the rad inlet and keep water from coming out and burning the fingers and loosing liquid. Old plumbers trick..

Hi. What is being driven at the top by that long belt? Looks interesting. The buses are incredibly historic machines. Glad people like you are restoring them .

[@rnreajr9184]

Fan belt. There is a pair of very large squirrel-cage fans above the engine compartment that blow air through the radiators and into the engine compartment. It's no fun to work around when the engine is running.

[@threeparots1]

Did your chiropractor recommend some exercises to work the affected areas? Our does recommend exercises to help strengthen long suffering muscles to help hold the back into the right place. I hope your back continues to get better. I found a hard mattress really screwed up my back. I added a decent topper and that made a world of difference and reduced necessity of adjustments.

[@busoldmanphil7293]

That reduced "pulsating" you see after proper engine grounding is common with with original electronic voltage regulators "hunting" for field voltage. In the end it does not affect charging or load carrying capabilities if the batteries remain charged with loads.

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Good work, as always!

[@jamesoestrike2517]

Looks like on this MCI bus the engine is mounted inline versus transverse on the GMC models?

[@seanwalsh999]

Get your self an inversion table for your back, it helped me and I had chronic back pain for twenty years. Gravity is pulling down on your spine, give it a rest and a stretch in the other direction. Just 10 minuets a day twice a day for the first month then just maintenance after that. Don't go fully inverted unless supervised as you may not be able to get back up by your self. It is not exercise, it is therapy.

They had to be whacky or something when they approved (the engineers) that big flapping arm snatcher going to the fan assembly. That is crazy!! Even a cheap lawn mower has an idler pulley to take up tension. Nutz

[@rnreajr9184]

Some of them do have tension pulleys - I don't know why this one doesn't.

[@tageuhl6422]

There was an air tensioner on it originally.

[@realcotnoir2521]

thamk you Scott

[@waynep343]

Voltage drop testing. Positive to negative post at the battery. To verify some alternator outout. With the headlights on and the engine running. Then a long jumper cable from the negative battery terminal to the floor next to the engine. Then the volt meter from the end of the jumper cable to the engine block or alternator housing, this voltage reading should be less than 0.4 volts. Then another test from the alternator housing to the bus body. Again less than 0.4 volts would be good. Forth step.jumper Cable still laying on floor next to engine compartment. Move other end to positive battery post. At engine end. Hook meter to end of cable and touch alternator outout stud. This might be closer to 1.0 volts or less. These test your electrical connections between the batteries and the engine and alternator. It's a simple but effective test that you only need a jumper cable and a digital volt meter to perform.

Yes rear side door in engine compartment on air conditioning side has a fitting to add air.

[@garrettthompson8314]

Can you put disc brakes on those buses

[@uliwehner]

they do not need them, what is the reason you want disks? like you don't want to adjust the drums, etc?

[@stanpatterson5033]

You could change them to disk brakes, but it would be extremely expensive, and a nightmare sourcing the correct components, if not having to build some from scratch.

[@KenmareVintageVehicles]

He was missing a lug nut on that wheel too.

What is the long belt that goes up into the back of the bus used for?

Running the cooling as there are two horizontal cooling fans that suck air through the radiators 1 on each side and exhaust the air down through the engine compartment.
