FORD IN INDIA

2001 Ford E450 Shuttle handicapped lift bus.  7.3 liter Int'l T444 V8 diesel with turbo boost.  No emissions bullshit stuff.  HD automatic transmission.  Power Steering and Hydraulic power brakes. 6 wheels dually with 16inch tires.  Heavy Duty 200+ amp bus alternator powers A/C and 3 heaters.  Was a city STRIDE handicapped shuttle bus that was set up for 3 wheel chairs and 12 passengers.  Driven by teamster union bus driver.  Was maintained by city bus mechanic and they sell and buy new every 5 years. So the churches grab these buses up for their kid programs and senior functions. I can ride them for a $1.50 during off hours or $3 during rush hours. Drivers sell ticket books. I use the bus to go to events and visit family afar off.  Hauled my power chair and gave me a place to camp out over a few nights. It is insured by progressive and has a current plates with a clean title. I am a handicapped veteran and a retire O/O trucker.  I made a living on trucking and doing my own fixing....but am now too old. I used the bus to see relatives and avoid mote expense. So I put in a bunk bed and potty chair.  Added a microwave and small refrigerator.  I could drive, sleep, with my Cpap machine, eat and take a dump all in the bus. I had some tools and would supervise younger guys learning how to fix their trucks. Has a 1000 lbs hydraulic power chair lift. Has a new $2000 air compressor for the air ride. Added a truck-stop convertor and a bunch of battery charged thru a battery isolation relay that only charges those batteries when main batteries are fully charged. An Amp Meter SHUNT bar bolt hit the hydraulic power boost line and blew a hole in the line. when making an uphill right turn and I need help to fix it so the brakes will work.  That also cause a lose of power in the electric system.  I am too old now to work alone and have to fix the bus and empty out my tools and stuff.  If I was 10 years younger...I could have it fixed with a few parts. I plan on fixing it and removing my personal stuff when I can get my buddy to help me. He drives these buses for the city hauling us old farts to the stores and doctor....as that is all his retirement teamster pension will let him do.  He is very busy and I can only get him ever once in a while. He got me to buy this bus and I knew what that Int'l VA diesel was a great motor. I may consider a DIY redneck to buy as is.  I will not sell to a non mechanical person. (I sold to a woman once a great car and she gave me more trouble over petty stuff after she purchased it.  So I only goes to a man with tools and smarts.) I sold my 57Tbird and 57  Wise Guy Caddy Sedan limited production dual 4 barrels carburetors super up at the factory V8 special block car designed for wise guy usage...to mechanics and body-men repair guys who knew what they getting. No issues after the sale. So no foreigners or brokers. The bus is cash here as is Duluth MN. You can fix it here in my driveway. I have the tools.  Repair is replace blown hose and track down electric lost of power place and repair. Will consider you fix as a lower cost.  Although it needs one line...it may be best to get them all replaced.  The circuit is pump to steering box and return....and pump to brake booster to air cooler and return.  It is hard to reach the connections. If you car haul it it is 12000 pounds dual wheels. It has a rood mounted air conditioning evaporator that add to the height. I think it is 10'6" now before adding 4 foot on a flat bed trailer. An farm equipment/contractor  trailer would be better. My stored photo are lost in the "Q"....damn computers.  Not my generation. As is. CASH...
