Bill,

You are right about adding the dryer. 

For now I have the S. Bennett apart and it was pretty rusty inside so I had to order parts.  One of the springs was rusted and broken in two pieces. 

I have added a small accumulator tank now, right before the  shifter and it will be easy to drain.

Thanks for the help,

Bill

It seems that I am having the same issues with my shifter. Where can I find a manual online?  I have a 4106 with a V730. Thanks!

I have a 40ft bus with V730, and cable shifter. Granted it has a bit of play in it, but it works every time and in 27 years, zero problems. Good Luck, TomC

T was very generous with his time on the phone guiding me thru the process of diagnosing and repairing mine.
He emailed me plenty of drawings pertaining to my shifter.
They shipped out the parts in a quick manner too.

Would someone point me in the right direction to download a manual for a Stone Bennett please.  I just purchased a 4106 and the shifter does not work very well. Going to start working on it Monday. Also have an airbag coming from Luke that I need to install.

"Download" was some sort of septic tank maintenance job when Stone Bennet was being made...

Scanned copies perhaps...

Happy coaching!

I did,

T Anderson asked me enough questions to know what parts/ sections of the manual to email me. He was very prompt AND he had any & all of the parts I needed in stock.
