Funny, My semi local Craigslist has a loader for sale on a school bus chassis.

I'm not very good with craigslist, I can't find it.
I'll keep looking, it might give me some ideas.

I've seen school buses used to haul water on a large farm they cut the back off of it and made a flat bed. Also saw a bus with the back end cut off to haul a muddin truck. We cut and fabricated a pair of doors on the back of a bus with ramps to load our Civil War cannon the weight wasn't more than about 5000 lbs plus gear and could still haul a few people to and from events. But the bus had a gas motor and was a pooch with the AT trans. But you can do a lot with an old bus.. I'd say go for it.. I'd probably look into that GVW tho.. Sorry no pics of the bus atm they don't use it much anymore..



 

This is the gun both parts fit an the back of the buss loaded with a winch.

Ok, I guess I'm going to have to show my ignorance.
What is the frame with the conveyor chain on the other side of the bus frame? It looks like some kind of a live deck, but on a loader?  ??? Or is it just something leaning up against the bus?

Hmmm. Maybe a bus is the ultimate vehicle after all.  :D

Trying to learn how to post pictures.



 

Just build you one of these with the bus.

I think I got it.
Give me a new saw chain and I can find you a rock in a heartbeat.
