After fitting a ROSSFANDRIVE to one of my buses,we have been thru 2 summers and no breakdowns, then we fitted another one to another bus in 2008, we just went through the hottest times in Melbourne when the bushfires hit. Temperatures climbed to 47 degrees, the only buses in my fleet that didn’t overheat and stop were the ones fitted with the ROSSFANDRIVE .

Why do buses fitted with ross fandrivehubs keep going in high operating temperatures? The simple design has removed the complicated components that fail . So this design also allows for operators to easily strip down and service the bearings with no expensive costs .

Due to the dusty conditions and the fact that most OEM pulleys are cast iron most rear engined buses suffer from pulley and belt system failure.

Ross TuffBond has taken that into consideration and have been manufacturing carbon steel billet pulleys for a range of Mercedes, Scania and Volvo buses, used by State Transit Authority buses and the Westbus/ Hills buses in Sydney along with many others, all with great success.

Due to the high carbon content of the material used by Ross, these pulleys will outlast OEM products by four times. Breakdowns and overheating problems, due to pulley wear and belts coming off, become a thing of the past.

The pulleys are priced anywhere up to 50% cheaper compared to genuine products and the other major saving is labour, due to the fact that Ross pulleys outlast the rest.
