My dad bought a transit bus w/8V 71 diesel engine in 1989 from City of Portland, OR to make a motor home. Has set most of the time beside his shop. He passed away 1999, and I sold the place with shop last month, so I had to move the bus. Batteries were bad(no surprise), replaced them (2) with new ones today, checked oil, water and trans fluid, hit the starter button, crank for about 5 to 10 minutes, trying to fire. Then all at once life breathed back into this sleeping giant,Blew dust and dirt all over me. But sounded just like it did last time it run , about 12 years ago. Air built up, air bags for air ride filled up,put it into gear and she surged forward into a slow crawl. Boy did that ever feel good, drove it out on the the adjoining piece of property. Will have to drive it over to my place in the next couple of weeks...:>) Sure feels good when everything comes together!!!! Oh by the way, Shawn ran the starter button as I checkout everything, that is how I got all the dust in the face, oh well. Sure is great to have good help. PS.. motor and Alison trans has less than 35,000 miles since rebuilt. Keith & Shawn

The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner.
