Ran into a guy on-line today that has a 4106 he is about to send to the grinder. It has not been parted, just sitting for a dozen or more years. As I understand it, he bought 2, from Greyhound, sold one after he did and engine swap, and the one he kept has, he says, a virtually new engine (6V-71 I think). It was partially installed in its cradle, but never completed. The bus is sitting in a field, the interior gutted, I think, and can be had cheap. He said he wanted $1000 for the enging and 4-speed, but I suspect he would sell the whole bus for that.

I don't know the guy, just trying to save a pretty old girl from the grim reaper! The bus is north of Reno. If anyone is interested, I will get they his number but don't want to post it without his permission. If I had the space, I would grab it myself just to save her - they are so beautifull, and getting rare!
Let me know,

Jim

How do I un-do a post? I did it twice thinking the first did not post!

I'd be interested in the differential if it is a 4:11 in good condition. Would pick up. Make a nice road trip.

John, I couldn't reach him today, but his daughter said in the morning is good so I'll get his OK to post his contact info, but shouldn't be a problem. If you do come up, and time matches, I might drive up and give you a hand!
