    I'm sorry it's blocked in by other trucks. I'd like to see you take it out for a spin. An engine heater would help in cold weather. It sounded as if it was cranking over well enough to ignite the fuel. Sure enough, after a few tries it took off. If you pull out the throttle just a little and let it high idle for a while, I bet it will warm up nicely and run nice and smooth. A Mack school bus! What a rare vehicle!

      Only two buses were ever built on the B-61 Mack chassis. The other one was ordered by a mining company in Chile. This one was originally a Palm Springs School District bus.

      In the early 60s when this bus was new our school district had mid 50s Internationals, gas jobs with 5-speed non-synchro. Many women drove them, but beat hell out of the transmissions.

      @@1940limited Getting the r's right is a learned process. Got to pay attention and realize you don't have a turbine to play wind it up with. I can float 'em but I don't like to. I like that clutch because if something goes haywire I can maybe keep it from getting any worse. And I use it for timing shifts too but I started a long time ago and old habits work fine as long as you're still alive to use them. TYried and true!
