Those steering columns are very common. I seen them used from anywhere from buses to garbage trucks to semi trucks. I would just have the whole assembly replaced. I wouldn’t trust that anymore.

I’ve seen that same thing happen before driving a Tri axle Mack dump fully loaded my buddy turned the wheel to turn left in a busy intersection and sna went the steering shaft . The guy behind him was beeping and yelling him to move. He got outhanded him the wheel and said here you move it The funniest thing I’ve ever seen was the look on that guys face when he held out the steering wheel I laughed my ass of I was 2 cars behind him. And checked my wheel and to make sure mine wasn’t going to break

As if the steering wheel falling off wasn't bad enough, that front tire is just as scary. Oil running out of the front hubs too. Not to mention the air leaks. Wow.

Would like to see a closeup in the next video of what failed. Look forward to seeing this bus fixed, the interior looks great. Had it really sat all this time? I didn't hear when it was last used. 20 year old tires look toast. Hopefully without the rear airbags, it didn't take much damage while being towed. I'm sure that rear axle was overloaded.

My friend drove a '72 Pinto whose gear shift broke off, so he used a pair of Vise-Grips to shift. That was weird enough. Later, while driving across country, both rear leaf springs snapped off due to rust. He stopped, put the pieces in the trunk, and kept driving.

When pulling a heavy load the chain should be above the bar rather than below. If the tractor loses traction you then raise the lift bars slightly which in turn creates better grip.

If you have loose soil it could help, but if you have strong grip that could cause the tractor to quickly flip over backwards with severe consequences.

Then it pulls the front end up ,no front wheel drive and he would then be steering with the brakes,and also not as much control,the tractor would try to pivot on the back wheels ,I think he has weight on the loader ,only thing is he needs to get that tractor out of low low

After watching tractor pull the bus have you given any thoughts to buying a surplus airplane tow tug, I worked for a county government we had one from the u.s.navy with a slant- six automatic but it had a 6.17 rear it could pull trucks up hills and push also. We fabricated a square tube frame and a sheet cab with a tractor heater, like I said worked with any thing up to 80,000 lbs
