    YES. THIS. Though the museum does get grants and support from Mack Trucks, I have been told that they do not receive any kind of monetary support for reproduction or shipping costs associated with archive requests. Please be sure to send them a check, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

    Some of the best Firefighters I have ever worked with are women! There is one in fact that I have been friends with since I was 16 years old, and would pull a line through the gates of hell with her any day of the week and twice on a Sunday. ECD as my esteemed colleague Mr. Mack says- don't let the simpleton backwoods hillbillies knock you down. Just ignore them and then show them who's boss.

    Hey Tim, this is Randy Yardumian, we worked together at Engine 69..... (IIRC you were on the B Plt.) Jack Sassani just posted a good pic of that the other day sitting in front of the station which I copied and posted onto another thread here somewhere that was discussing Mack forums. I am pretty sure I have heard that there were approx 15 "N" model Mack firetrucks, I am going to ask Harvey Eckert (a renowned Mack historian) how many there were- unless Mike Martinelli knows and chimes in here.

    Staxx beat me to it- dry ice works great- my Dad and I used that when we did an in-frame on his 300+ in his Allentown F-Model.

    ........You press the button, and he comes out and hands you a set of ear muffs and a gallon of oil, and then smashes your fingers with a ball-peen hammer.

    mmmmmmmmm Hayward F-Model......my panties are getting moist.....But I digress.....While most Allentown trucks were pretty standard with very limited available options, Hayward trucks had many options to choose from. My father's own single screw Hayward tractor had a 300, 5-speed Spicer and 2-speed rockwell drive. Unfortunately, one engine option that was commonly purchased in Hayward tractors were Green Leakers.

    You scrubbed with a stiff scrub brush and mom's lye soap when you got home, right?

    Local Code Enforcement is required to keep these records on file in your mother's property file. If it was indeed abandoned properly, legally and with documents, I would tell the buyers to GFY- you want it done, it's on your dime.

    Not sure about the truck, but I deal with this as part of my job...... If the underground tank was properly and legally abandoned in place (top cut off, all oil/sludge inside cleaned out and mopped up, and tank filled with sand or other inert materials and tank re-sealed) then it should be OK to leave in place. Unless Florida's laws differ from Pa.

    In 2-3 months, go look at it and take $2K in green with you. Flash it at him and let him smell it.
