@TurbinePower69 What would be an "extended period"? Have driven these things from Albany NY to NYC and for the hours sitting at Circle Line while the group was at Radio City these things would be idling. Mostly for heat in the winter and in summer not only was the main engine running but the little four banger gasoline AC compressor motor was humming along.
Did like getting school bus drivers in the summer looking for some income. Fun was watching them trying to find reverse.

@DeserTBoB93535 um yeah ok if you say so

You made the right choice passing on this one. It's an ex-Hound, the later batch of '04 production with the diesel A/C. Hound ran the fool out of these things and by the time they got replaced with MC-5s and 4107s, they were not suitable for charter service unless it was a real "fly-by-night" outfit. A better choice would be a an ex-Trailways from '54 through early '60. Avoid the '53 models; lots in common with the 4103 on those. Despite what uninformed clowns say, that 6-71 is GOOD.

It sounds like the lifters which if it is, with that old of an engine, it's normal
I looked at this bus in late 2009 and passed on it. Since then we bought a fully converted Eagle 05 that is turn-key ready. Thanks for the responses everybody.

I'm a "dingbat" for being new to buses and asking advice from people who know better what the noise was? Geez.

Seems like longer than a year ago that I looked at this thing. Looking back, I can't believe I was considering it. You can get a lot of bus for a little money right now. I am glad this deal didn't work out.

I believe what your hearing is coming from the Air compressor. Mine does the same thing. Where is this bus and how much were they asking for it?

@midcoastmania The bus is in Mississippi. They were asking about $4500.
