Out of curiosity, what do you do with the bus? Do you run a busing service? I assume it's not just a weekend driver or something

More to think about. If someone in their 30's did this ( think disgruntled employee ) what sort of punishment would be suggested?

If someone did this in the name of ____ ( pick a group ) , what sort of punishment would be suggested?

Felony charges just show how far the definition of a felony has expanded in a country corrupted by for-profit "correctional" interests. We're not talking about dangerous criminals who should have their voting rights and employment prospects curtailed for life.

It's a shame that anyone who's a CEO, lobbyist, or investor in a private prison company can't be arrested and locked up for life for treason and corruption. THOSE are the real criminals -- the people who are corrupting our justice system into a money-making machine for themselves.

If the photo is correct, those busses, or at least one of them, is still using split rims. At the very least, the front tires should be reinflated in a cage. The rears can be done in-situ, as the lock rings are internal and facing each other.

If the valve stems themselves were indeed damaged (not likely, as they're probably brass), then the repair is a totally different animal, i.e., dismounting, disassembly, and replacement of tubes.

not sure what hes doing with it, but old school buses make awesome RVs. They are MUCH better built and heavier duty than a pure RV

check out this conversion-

well i bought it for the 24valve cummins/allison trans.but my plans have changed so it is up for sale.i was gonna pull the engine/trans pull the tires and junk what was left . the body is probably 12k lbs at least.figured at the time i could get 800 to 1000 for the body but iron took a crap so figure i would just sell the whole thing.

I'm guessing the school doesn't offer "Auto Shop" as an elective.
