I vaguely remember the local bus company running an old C60 auto with a big block, it ran a small route but got retired and replaced with a POS IC bus that promptly caught fire and subsequently got replaced with a Thomas Freightliner with a 5.9 Cummins, that bus ran up until recently, it got replaced with a Saf T Liner with a Mercedes 4 banger
Are you just a First Student member or what is the type of job you have because it looks like something I wanna do especially sense I like school buses myself.
To keep it simple, there's a wheel that gets pushed against the tire, the wheel has chains around it, as the wheel is spun, those chains fling out and end up under the tire, that's how most systems work, idk if on spot does anything special
RyryGamingHD 649 I picked up from the Middle Island NY lot. Greg Faulkner would know more where it served its whole life. He does have Flickr photos of it back when it was in service. I own it now and I like that bus a lot
I could be wrong, but I believe that when the parking brake is set and there is no air in the tanks, you can't release the parking brake. Since the buses don't have a "park" gear, only neutral, this is a way to prevent someone unauthorized from moving the bus.
Eric Fox he could have just pumped them down till the knob popped out no need to take them clear down. He could have went out and pulled the drain valve cable it would have been faster. Not sure why he turns the key on🤔. Don’t need key on to drain the tanks or to pump them down

i love the grille on one of the school buses. grill looks like it belongs on a lincoln or a jaguar
That’s the international buses grill they are gorgeous
The buses usually have a drain valve under the bus to drain the air tanks
when i was a kid, the buses were bluebirds gmc with a 4 speed man.

In the first bus. The IC. What’s the swinging thing in front of the windshield?
NY spec buses have the low air warning wig wags
Do you own these buses personally or are they company owned? That's a lot of buses if they are personally owned.
Drexelious all but 1 bus has been sold
@@02intlbluebird Interesting.
Why do you drain the air tank?

@@02intlbluebird okay
why do you have to get rid of all the air pressure?
