My next step in this process will be the rear most axle. This axle will receive the spring brake cans. I will also install an extra tank off the bus and also its air dryer. I will also re-plumb everything with plastic air line hose just because it is so easy to fix. I'm going to install a much...

The school bought this deuce at an auction about 5 years ago just to pull out buses. The brakes never really worked right since they owned it. I came into the shop this year and was told to work on it. I found the whole system full of water and muck. I flushed the system and tried to patch it...

I finally hooked the foot valve up and now air brakes. I only have the first rear axle completed but the rest is coming quickly. And to b honest not that bad to do. It took one scraped school bus and bam air brakes. This old girl lives to pull and drag school buses out of ditches and back to the...
