Awesome portable solar power station that we used to charge the batteries. www.vigorpool.com
This bus had broken down about 8 years ago and got towed to this lot. We are attempting to resurrect it and drive it to Tennessee! Detroit diesel 8v71 1st start video.

Just find any rust spots, clear the rust, weld a good thick patch and treat it with WD-40 corrosion inhibitor. This Greyhound is gonna live again hopefully, just needs some TLC, elbow grease and a spit-shine.

It's too bad the EPA made DDAD stop building them. During the Vietnam war they powered most of the equipment used and did a great job getting our boys home.

Looks like it will be a good home for the owner. I started as an owner operator in 1970 and retired in 2010. In my opinion, these service truck stops pay such a low wage that the worker is uneducated in the work required and so the finished product becomes sub-par at best. I always carried the proper tools, a good tire and my faithful 20 ton jack that I still have in the garage. This is why I enjoy watching good qualified people doing exceptional work.

My 80 year old father had a wheel bearing go out on a utility trailer late at night and rolled into one of these tire shops. They weren’t busy and my dad offered the kid a couple hundred dollars to take care of it. I’ll give the kid credit, he didn’t take my dad’s money but instead admitted he didn’t know how to do it. Dad ended up uncoupling, going to Walmart and Lowes for tools and then Napa for the bearing and did it himself.

I became a Greyhound bus driver went to there school January 3 1980 all 200 of us, and was one of the lucky 58 to graduate June 27 of 1980. Back then they trained us on every model that was manufactured, most all of them was double clutch 4 speed. That model you found was one unique buss. a few of them that was stationed on the east coast Penn New York area Had Two, 2 8cy engines dam they could pull up and down those steep mountains. the single engines models you were down in 2 gear very quickly. Oh that sound she is so good you guy's get it started. LOL by the way. they guy in the green shirt is sitting in the area for the AC compressor. Greyhound did a great job back in the day teaching how to do minor on the road fix for the engs. they don't do that today. And MCI built Battle ships on wheels. Not that Crap that MCI calls a bus today. There junk. look how many of the old timers are still on the road in the world. Same for the old Trailways Eagles. drove many back then. yes greyhound and Trailways were competitors. but there drivers and Us would drive on routes in areas that was ether a Eagle or a MCI/GM. Oh By the way. you will find this out very soon. They all leaked when it Rain, or Snow, The Upper Scenic window. Leak like a sieve, and nothing you can do. The flexing of the frame is what caused this.

GM also built coaches to an EXTREMELY high quality standard. I remember when we got brand-new Gillig Phantoms in my city bus service, and how bitterly disappointing they were compared to the 30 year old GM city buses. The GM buses glided over broken concrete pavement. The Gilligs rattled and crashed into the bump stops. There were bad things about the old GM buses too -- 100% of GM buses ever put in service would have benefited from having twice as many gears in the transmission, and from outside, those buses were deafeningly loud and spewed filthy exhaust. Heaven for the passenger, hell for the pedestrian.

So glad to see you working on a Scenicruiser also!!! That's how I found your channel years ago, I wanted to know more about the Scenicruiser. Since then I learned my mother rode one to the 1964 world's fair and she told me the whole story! I'm envious! Sorry to hear of bad problems!

In addition to your tools and Tyler's dually, maybe you guys could get a service truck and do your own tires and rims. Lots of hoses need swaging as well, maybe a hydraulic swagger as well to really increase your repair capabilities. Once the truck is outfitted it can be used right outside of the shop, too. Then you're mobile, and able to do that stuff at "home"too. I really enjoyed the rescue video. First vid of yours I found was you in the engine compartment of a twin DETROIT motor cruiser, was immediately interested, and enjoyed your no nonsense approach to solving the problems you encountered... and then I realized that you were staying in your own bus ( Lenny of course). How intriguing, been hooked ever since. Good on ya for helping out that guy at the pumps, good people all of you. Good to watch.

Hearing that diesel grow, takes me back to waiting in the depot in my youth. Back in Bellingham. Loved it then, still loving them now. Great job.

BTW, what was with the military's love of 53-series Detroit Diesel engines back in the day? Is it because they are shorter so the hood can be shorter and you can put more trucks on a transport of some kind? Is it because they can rev higher so you can get away with fewer gears and keep cost down? Everyone in the private sector used 71 series engines, except for weird custom jobs. Toward the end of the 2-stroke era, Detroit pushed the 92 series engines to try to stay competitive with power output, but those things were not as long lived as the 71s. But I have found some crazy military surplus things in the 53 series -- including a twin turbo computer controlled Silver Series 6V53, apparently an attempt to squeeze a modern power output into a repower project for old trucks that probably topped out at 45 mph with the original non-turbo 6V53.

I'm sorry things ended up not going well Scott. It was good seeing you guys awaken that Detroit though and made good progress on the air leaks and so forth. No rush on the second part...post it when you are ready to Scott.

Well done Scott and Tyler. Nothing like waking a bus from hibernation. Sorry to hear that the tyre fitting did not go well. Will be very interested to watch that episode to see what happened. I will save any further comments for that video as we don't know yet what went wrong.

As an ex roughneck and rig operator, I love the 71 series.. despite some minor permanent hearing loss :) They are my very favorite engines. It's like running a giant Stihl chainsaw. Super Reliable. Gear Shifting is SILK. What's more? They can be rebuilt to "like new condition" indefinitely *Excellent for Marine applications as I understand

I grew up using a lot of the 6 8 and 12 engines. while you cant actually kill a 71, the turbo 92's have been in some rather drool worthy boats over the years.

Love these rescue missions, and any road trip. Pity you didn’t take Lenny but I guess you guys have to do what’s the most practical for any given job. The Scenicruiser is the reason I came across your channel in the first place, for me at least it’s the quintessential American icon of the 70s.
