That bus driver needs to learn to use the turn signal

Nevermind 374 is Ford

AT540 do u have a Ford gas or Dodge engine 361

That bus sounds great. I haven’t rode a CE with a Maxxforce that sounds this great in awhile.

instead of having a c2 we have c60

Do you own that hus or district nice bus i ride a bus like that but 10 years older 2002 bleubird 3800 bus 19

DT466 with the MT643

1:28 love how the AT 545 shifts from 3rd down to 2nd gear

Going to school in 1970's California, our school had three buses each day taking kids to and from three different residential neighborhoods. Then one day, after Proposition 13 hit, they had a single bus and they merged the three different routes into one long trip making some kids have to ride for nearly an hour to school.

Takes me back to Kindergarten.

Neat old bus

Can we get video of the outside?

Also talking about the transmissions they had back then, the manual gearboxes were really called "Compound" transmissions. Compound transmissions often had a deep under in 1st gear. It was often called the "Granny" because of the super low maximum speed the bus or truck had when using that gear. If you had 4 possible speeds, and you had a deep under in 1st, only three of the speeds were truly usable on the road. If you had 5 possible speeds, and you had a deep under in 1st, you would have 3 or 4 possible speeds because 2nd was sometimes classified as either a regular under, the under, or a light under gear. I think what is called the progressive transmissions came out in about 1984 or 1985. A progressive box is where all the forward speeds are usable. But in order to have something like that, you have to have a direct in 1st. Not deep under.

I love these videos of the MBM. The museum is glad to have a guy like you to show to the public what the museum has. I know that nowdays, one diesel that has this sound is the Power Stroke that Ford has.

I can’t wait till I can finally drive a bus

The AT540 and the AT545 whine in first gear, scream in second, and howl in third

Nice video. That DT sounds good.

oh i LOVE it, it sounds amazing❤

Cummins powered?

@tommyretro should get a silver arrow cross gate attached to that bus to show the partial history of being in south carolina too.

Great job!

Never heard that kind of axle noise on a bus that old. Sounds nice along with the engine!

That bus will last instill christ returns

When i first started riding the bus we had a 80s Chevy Carpenter then got an used late 80s International Thomas "upgrade". The last bus was a brand new 94 International Thomas. I'd love to have a collection of busses like this. ❤

All the automatic gas buses in Pine Bluff Arkansas school district had column shifters,not sure if they had park on them,i swear when the bus was parked,the stick was all the way up

I see the red lights have to be turned on & off manually unlike later on,the shutoff was on the door

Now I understand why the transmission was jerky in the 70s Fords we had in my district

Gas-powered school bus with air brakes!

86 is now a C2

I didn't know that automatics and diesel V8s were around back then.

I think we need to ban videos games for kids and replace them with simulator game so kids can spend less time on the video game and more time going outside and play

Cool old bus

Nice sounding AT545

Fantastic Video!

What a nice vintage Wayne bus there

Good job!

I rode a Ford Wayne in high school to and from vocational school.

This another Madison County Kentucky emergency fleet bus?

Awesome 👏🏼

The heater box near the door and the dash suggest this bus is a late 80s model. To me, Ward's body looks super cool with a GMC dash.

Love how it shifts from 3rd to 2nd. Hydraulic transmissions always love to do that

Allison MT643

Love that bus with roar and the whine memories❤

I thought you didn't do any more ride alongs

My district doesn’t have a bus 32 for some reason. They just skipped it And went to 33.

4 years old 32 is
