When the radiator went bad one of the belts also came off which revealed a pulley on the crank shaft that was 75% rusted out in the grooves. Once again, happy we are finding this out now rather than later. We were able to find a new pulley and got it mounted on the bus and replaced the belts. Finally we could get the new radiator in and drive the bus again! Yep once again as it has been so many times we were given the wrong radiator. By the way, this has been a reoccurring theme with getting parts for the bus. I think every person who has gone to get parts for the bus has been given the wrong ones at some point. And keep in mind we are not always going to the same place. The bad part about not getting the radiator in, we cannot take our team pictures for the Birmingham Weekly article.
Here is a picture of the bad pulley.
