That bus sounds awesome. Then realizing its 75 years old is WOW!
Build to last. Unlike stuff today.
I had forgotten how good he sounds.
Nothing like the sound of those 2 stroke DDs. 76 years ti be exact.
"My truck's a little old but that don't mean she's slow. I've got flames comin' from her stacks and smokes rollin' black as coal." Dave Dudley.
Scott really has that old coach's engine and transmission down pat - nice smooth double clutch into 3rd going up hill. Lovely how gently you drive such a big vehicle.
To Scott, Lenny is a like a fine tuned race car, he knows what it takes to make it howl down the road!
@@irongoatrocky2343 i always love seeing the way scott drives the bus ,, there is nothing like listening to a 6-71 howling as it climbs a long hill at wide open throttle
Does Lenny have power steering ? Could Lenny maybe get some up grades and what what color is Lenny's color
If I ain't drippin' oil, It ain't no oil in it. 😂
I don`t own a bus and I`m NEVER going to own a bus. But I just love watching your videos. The dedication, quality of work and care you put into these things amazes me. The work is dirty and monumentally hard. You are a rare breed sir.
@12:06 How dare you! Take THAT Greta. lol
Well, my daily game of 'Spot the Boo-hoo-hoomer in UA-cam comments' didn't take long today 🥲
I cannot say what I would give to ride along with you, so cool ,love it
@@MrLBPug I was complimenting Scott. Your comment doesn`t make sense to me.
That Detroit sounds happy!
i love the sound of a 2 stroke climbing a hill , riding the governor ,,i learned to drive a big truck in an old peterbilt with a 12V71 and it just loved winding to the moon ,,,i remember a guy i had ride with me once that was used to driving a truck with a 3406 CAT ,, and he about fainted when i rode the governor climbing a long hill at 2300 rpm listening to that jimmy scream ,, driving that CAT before you hit 1800 you're looking for the next gear ,, that 2 stroke you don't shift till you hit the governor ,, do that with a CAT and you'll need ROD bearings really soon ,, i know from experience
@@wildcoyote34 Don't forget that because it's a two-stroker it sounds like twice the RPM, he probably thought you were pulling 4600 RPM and was watching out for flying pistons.
Cue the Willie Nelson music..................."Just cain't wait to be on the road agin".
Scott, Lenny deserves some clean windows and a new wiper blade. Good luck with him this year.
I can see, Lenny’s tail wagging, getting on the road again 👍😇🥰🇺🇸❤️
I enjoy listening to that ole girl sing her song. I'm amazed at how little input it takes of the steering wheel to keep it straight down the road
I am not really able (or desire to) drive large RV's due to my glaucoma but if I had to do it all over again 20+ years ago, I would have loved to have a bus like Lenny. Simple two-stroke but bulletproof engine. ALL simple. No crazy electronics, computers, smog requirements. Built for the road. Previous class A motorhomes I have owned have shaken apart while on the road. You need Lenny for the long haul. I would take him over a Newell, Prevost or Bluebird any day of the week. Built for the ROAD (I already stated that lol) like a 40's Greyhound bus is meant to be.
Good to see him motoring again!
Lenny sounds awesome!
Just listening to the engine sound no effort at all. She is so smooth i know there are little quirks but, she's not a youngster.❤❤❤
I love the smell of diesel in the morning.
It is so cool to see Lenny on the road again and I am looking forward to sse how handsome he looks when he gets his new paint
3 years! I had no idea Lenny wasn't being used regularly anymore.
hey..you went to the Dickson Harbor Frieght!!!
He was, just as a residence during the lockdowns (when they couldn't go anywhere) until they got their apartment finished behind the shop and then as a "guestroom". Once they got the shop up and running, everyone just came there instead of Scott going out to them.
Nice to hear Lenny singing again. Love that exhaust note.
I nearly fell out of my chair at 12:05 when you said "That is for my California viewers." Little do most know (I live in So.Cal.) that your grey trash can and your blue recycling can are both dumped at the exact same area inside the dump and are buried together by the dozers there. I know this as a fact as witnessed by some of my friends that work a the local dumps (different ones). One friend operates a dozer that buries it all.
It’s incredible to see Lenny driving on roads that I have driven on in my own car as well as see places that I have physically been to!
I love 6-71N engines--no whoosh, all vroom, smooth straight-six power. Lenny's a lucky bus to have found you guys, Scott. Here's to another 75+ years!
Lenny feels pretty good! No Detroit sounds quite as mean as a 6-71. “Naturally aspirated” of course. Gotta love it.
My dad rode in many of these PD3751s back in the late 1940s & early 1950s when he was serving in the U.S, Navy. Greyhound was the cheapest way to travel.
It's been so long i forgot about the tree shifter, thats so awesome 😊
Great to see Lenny on the road again and he sounds great!!
That beautiful Detroit music never gets old bro. Safe travels to you all. Ken.
That 4 valve head give Lenny a little extra boost. He sounds great!
This bus get-up-and-go very fast
Lenny and that beat up Senicruiser (sp) are by far my favorite busses. Please give Lenny as much exercise as you can!
i think lenny is very happy to be back out on the open road again!
miss Lenny on the road, great seeing him back on.
Best window cleaner yet is Mr Clean Magic eraser, and a clean microfiber cloth. Takes the film off of the inside glass, no fuss, no scratches, no solvents. Just gently rub the wet Magic eraser over the glass in a circular motion, then buff with the cloth. Got this from a life-hack on line several years ago. Try it, you'll like it.
Driving Buses for a living now guys. Wow wot a different lifestyle now from being in the dairy industry all my life.. Carry on the great work Scott and Team.
That 360°cam is pretty cool.. top view down both sides,,, that's the
$hit right there boy.. 👍😎💯
I know it makes sense for you to have a fixed workshop and for people to come to you but I always enjoyed your road trips to work in the field- literally sometimes!
Nothing like the sound of a Detroit
Love that sound. As a kid in the 70’s, we were 1/4 mile from freeway, (Interstate 15) in Victorville, CA. I would open my bedroom window and listen to the trucks pulling from the D Street on-ramp, which is pretty steep.
I could tell whether Detroit, Cummins, and the chicken haulers with their Cats sounding oh so pretty.
Rode in, and later on drove many a truck with a Detroit in it. V-6, 318 and 350 Detroits. I’ve always loved that sound.
Scott, that Lenny sure is a sweet running old bus! Thanks to your skillset he sounds new!
Back in the 70's, we had an International Loadstar 1700 with a non synchro 5 speed with a two speed axle. That was a double clutch beast! We also had a GMC with a 6v71 supercharged Detroit and an Alison that I am sure caused some of my hearing loss LOL! I drove an KW aardvark in the military with a 13 speed Spicer that you only used the clutch for first and all the other gears slid like butter!
Great to see Lenny back on the road where he belongs.
Lenny was my inspiration to straight pipe the 3126 in my Safari. Everyone thinks it's a 3408. They wanted $900 for a muffler.
$900??? I wonder if it's feasible to go to a sheet metal or machine shop and see if they can make a muffler for you that will bolt in. Maybe one that uses chambers instead of perforated tubing and will flow better. Just an idea...
Missed Lenny, happy to see you guys back on the road.
Thanks for the shout out to California! Sometime, come out this way!
Nice to hear Lenny back on the road, the great exhaust sound and all the old rattles in their usual places (with no new ones.
That old 2-stroke sounds good just like they did when I rode Greyhound buses when I was little in Chicago coming from underground Bus Station. Lenny straight piped sounds real good..✌🏽
This bus is one year older than me but sounds a whole lot better condition than I am.
Love it Lenny's a 4 on the tree.
My two year old watched this one with me and he saw the pink bunny suit he laughed historically! Lol love seeing these old busses and you bringing them back to life Keep up the good work!
1947 Greyhound, when bus travel was somewhat classy and safe.
Modern long haul Greyhounds are downright luxurious but, like with air travel, the quality of fellow passengers has gone downhill dramatically. That signals a much deeper problem.
Man I’ve missed seeing Lenny on the road! Didn’t realize it had been so long. I always enjoyed your driving videos when your traveled around.
Like seeing Lenny on the road again.
My dad worked for Greyhound for 40 years. Started in the Pittsburgh garage, until it closed then transferred to DC. He knew his Detroits. He even went to school on the turbine, and Allison transmissions. He was like you.
Microfiber on the windows. Game changer.
Lenny looks good with no paint 😊
Lenny , still sounds the best out of all of them .
Really good to see Lenny back on the road! I was thinking of him the other day and wondering what was up. Thanks for the video!
That is super cool have that shifter on the steering column! The 2 stroke diesel sounds great!!
Lenny liked his lil rest but is obviously sounding grerat and wanting to go traveling again. The fact he has sat so long amd got going again with so little problems (1 slight oil leak) just goes to show if you maintain things well and do minimal requuired ongoing starts etc while stored things dont tend to get bad or worse. Love the sound of him going up the hill and how strong he sounds. Can always tell good mechanics from bad
Skills like driving a 4 on the tree or a Mack twin-stick smoothly are getting rare, love seeing you drive Lenny and showing how it should be done.
Great to see the ol' boy in use again.
You parked in between yellow lines. They allowed you to get away with that? Sweet! Nice run and I really liked that engine sound. Reminds me of when I rode Greyhounds way back when. The inside of the windows were dirty.
I’ve spent many miles looking out that window through the years with you guys you’ve come a long ways you guys
that Lenny is amazing with an awesome sound 👍
Great video. Miss the Lenny out on the road episodes.
Thanks Scott! Haven't rode shotgun on Lenny since before Corona-chan. Looking forward to the trip. Guess you got that Cash bus.
Lenny don't seem lacking for giddiup n go. Safe travels guys.
Good to see Lenny show us that while he may be an 'Ol Grey Dog' he still can still get the job done!
Also...any dog does not where he's been....has no friends!
Now we can re-start install Lenny's jake threads. 😂😂
Truly a great old bus, l love the 4spd on the column. Really a great ride, and video too.
Thanx again.
The thing i love is a bunch of adult guys have named a bus 'Lenny' 😂😂😂
Its awesome yo see him driving on the road
Dam I missed it ,great to see Lenny out on the road again he sounded awesome going up the hill we have missed that sound watched the hill climb 5 times already lol
That was some good looking Tennessee Hardwood logs on that truck! Looked like double bunked precuts.
Three years so I have been watching you for more than four years 👍👍👍
Lenny looks like he was going real good
He sounds fantastic 😍😍
Watching Scott shift ol' Lenny is very satisfying. Nice to see them on the road again!
Love that shifter.
Scott you shift Lenny like butter. A non-synchro 4 speed on the tree must take some practice to get good at it.
Many years ago, thinking about it, it was roughly 50 odd, a good mate once said, "Why is it the American busses are always screaming their engines through the gears" and I never knew the answer. Now a few years ago I knew about Lennie and his brothers and I was taught from videos about 2 stroke diesels and repairing them, plus their different types. So Thanks to this video and hundreds previous ones, this 75-year-old Englishman could work on these engines at a push I guess, but doubt I ever will.. Knowledge Is all In this world so thank you. Ian.
Of course when he runs flawlessly, he's owned and maintained but one of the best commercial mechanics around. I wish the Mechanics where I work gave 1/10 of a damn about doing their job the way Scott does.
the engine overhaul on 671, has made the world of difference. lenny is running just like a young greyhound again down the roads now 👈👺👀👀👍
Great job guys, your hard work paid off. You should be proud 👏
That thing hauls a** like a 280zx
Nice to see Lenny back on the road, and sounding as good as ever!
Watching you drive down the roads made me immediately start humming the first verse of Dixieland Delight: "Rollin' down a back woods, Tennessee biway...."
Love the roar of Lenny's engine running nothing like it in the world!!
Lenny performed flawlessly. He definitely enjoyed the stretch and I think you did too Scott. It’s been way too long
The Ole 6 71 is running great
It is a joy to experience Lenny on the road. Thanks for sharing.
The last time you tinkered with a sick bus, and you went over to Lenny and started him up it was like night and day. A bus that you have totally maintained and have kept at rest for a bit you know will act well rested and run well tuned. I never expected less from Lenny. Can't wait to see him wearing his new paint. Good job BGM.
Hard to believe it’s been three years
Can you feel it? Lenny has been waiting for you, Scott. Waggin’ his tail, jumpin up and down, ready to go…He’s missed you, but ready for the road. Been way too long, listen to that hum.
awesome video and nice bus looks cool and dame that song in the end lovely
NICE TO SEE BACK IN ACTION
hehe, a Jeepers-Creepers bus! If I see one on the road, I would turn around and follow it
Love the double clutch!
He sounds fantastic, thanks to you!
That old Gal is busting out some moves!
So killer!! I remember the ol blue bird school buses with those 2 strokes back in the day. Pretty awesome
Reminds me of the old days followed you folks round the country, has it been three years?
Wonderful sound! My Dad loved Detroit Diesels!
Great to see Lenny back on the road. Looking forward to your new adventures.
You just have never lived if you haven't ran thru the gears in a truck or coach with a 2 stroke Detroit Diesel....Nice job Scott on that double clutch..Its a gear heads dream....
Love that 2 stroke revving, sounds like a race car😊
Great old bus. What a great sounding motor. Excellent!
Great to see ol lenny on the road again... 😎👍💯
