The 4905 has a sealed starter for both the 730 Allison and the manual transmission because of the wet clutch I have had terrible time finding those but Luke has them for a price then Fedx or UPS gets their share

I replaced the starter in my 4905. 12 volt 13 tooth starter. The hardest part was lifting it in there. About 65 pounds. Returned the old one for a core. The core was 55 bucks and ups was 60. I should have kept the old one for a boat anchor.

We are going to advertise our bus for sale at the arcadia rally and over the next several months see if anyone is interested. But it's an MCI and it isn't a pro conversion by any stretch.

ros- This could potentially be a good deal, if it isn't rusted out.  It has a low mileage rebuilt engine and is fully converted.  I know you wanted an automatic; this has a 4 speed manual.  The owner may back down on the price since it has been listed for two months.

Hi, Dave.

Thanks for the tip.  I don't recall that I have been there but I just went and left a message on a 4905's owner's voicemail.

Have yas tried here. There is a drop down list to change the makes. ;D

Hi, Ron and thanks for the info.  However, I just learned that the 41xx series are 35 footers and I need a 40 footer.

Take care and again, thanks.

Hi, Scott.

I live in central Texas.  Very close to Temple, Tx.

Thanks

Where do you live? I know you said you will travel any distance, but might help us help you find one.

Hey Scott, my name is Robert. I was just wondering why you were deciding to sell?

We haven't put ours on the market yet, but we are planning on having kids. We need something set up better with bunks. I want a truck conversion. Our bus isn't converted professionally at all. Just a simple home conversion that isn't even complete yet but definitely livable.
