Both are good motors and that is low mileage for them. Keep in mind that being buses they have led a stop and go life so oil changes would be imperative on a regular basis. What years are they? that is low mileage for a bus for sale.

Get yourself some left handed drill bits. They are a life saver when it comes to drilling out broken bolts because they drill in the opposite direction of regular bits. Usually about halfway into drilling the bolt will unscrew.

I picked up a tank on E-bay for 25.00. It was in Excellent condition, no rust in or out. Delks wanted 150.00 for the same tank. Granted they have stuff you can't find anywhere else but you are really going to pay for it. I called about a master switch, the guy who answered hollered to someone...
Check E-bay, I got one for my 002A on there. There is a guy called Beltfed on there that has almost anything for any kind of equipment known to man. His prices are reasonable also.

I had a truck with a bad gauge and drove it that way for many years. I knew it got 12 MPG so I always made sure I filled up around half a tank. I never pushed it even close to what would have been empty because sometimes it got a little less mileage. I do know how forgetting things goes. I went...
Have you adjusted the shift control on the side of the injection pump? It has been a long time since I worked on one but I remember that is where you adjust the shift points.

What you experienced is exactly why there were so many TB's put out and papers written on how the wheel cylinders MUST be installed correctly. What you have there is especially dangerous because it will lock one real wheel and pull the vehicle around sideways. That WILL be a rollover no matter...
I would love to JP but I already post on 2 M-151 forums, 1 automotive master technician forum, 1 Diesel truck forum plus all the normal stuff associated with a house plus a full time job. There are so many hours in a day!
Feel free to send anyone over but don't run afoul of the others on here...
I don't generally post on the 151 board over here but I just happened by. I am usually on the G503 or G838. You have to get those cylinders OUT of that configuration!! NOW!! You can go with 3/4 all around or 1" in front and 3/4 in rear but what you have there is a prelude to a crash since the...
OK, Got the new tank and a switch and put new filters in and it runs.:beer:
Volt meter is flaky but I verified the voltages with a VOM and it holds rock steady at 120-240.
Tomorrow I will change the oil and filter again since it was so dirty and then let it run for a couple of hours to flush...
I can tell you that if the fluid is dirty then the trans is toast. An automatic transmission is a sealed unit so there is no way for dirt or contaminates to get in there, short of running it underwater and that will end the same way. If the fluid is dark it is from burnt clutch material. There...
OK, I got creative with jumper wires and verified that the engine runs good. Now I don't feel so iffy about spending money on it. I see where Kip just got a new job so that probably explains why I can't get hold of him. Does anyone know a good solution for cleaning the filter bowls and other...
Thanks guys
I want to thank those that have offered to help me out and I will get back tp you all. I seem to have run afoul of normal practice here and I am getting people in trouble. Not my intention at all. I will see what I can find elswhere.
Thanks.
