1958 F.W.D.

Federal Q sirens came out way too late to have been installed original equipment on a Type 45

Yer OK BMack that's all that matters. Fix her and put her back to work.

"I have this complete box and shaft, I dont need it, if it fits you can have it." Others post photos of repair manuals. Others lend memories of having done this work and their recollections of what to and not to do..... Thats why I love BMT. Everyone helps everyone. This place ROCKS

Well since everyone else is cancelling I might take a ride to this one

Yep. Confirming that the Brockway show has been cancelled.

Gerharts is still being pondered. A final decision has not been determined but I anticipate that any day now. Brockway has been downgraded to a one-day event on that Saturday. Harford Pa. (Northeastern Pa Chapter of the ATCA) has been cancelled.

When I was 11, I completely rebuilt a B & S horizontal shaft engine. I wrote a letter to B & S Customer Service asking for a B & S Decal for the shroud (had to scrape off the old one to re-paint it.) I explained I was 11 and did not know who to address the letter to. I also explained that I would gladly pay for the decal if there was a cost, and also told them I was a big fan of their product. About 3 weeks later I get home from school and there is a big package waiting for me. It contained a letter from (I think it was Frederick Stratton, CEO at the time) thanking me for my interest in B & S. The box also contained a service manual, decals, a B & S jacket and a ball cap. I wish I still had that letter.

You would cringe at it now. Google Wind Creek Casino Bethlehem.

A really nice one usually comes to Macungie......On years where there isn't a worldwide pandemic that cancels Macungie.

I started a thread on my personal FB page for you. Got some leads already: 1. Give John Miller at Shop One in Pennsburg Pa. a call. Tell him that that Dan Supplee said to call about the old Mack sitting out back with the pump still in it. 2. Give Sean Desjardins at Emergency Equipment Sales and Service in Ewing NJ a call. 877-337-8885. Tell him Randy sent you. He said he may very well have something NOS sitting around.

He was mumbling something under his breath about "under powered two stroke can't hear myself think mechanical asshole" or something like that.

Cody is already talking about swapping it with a 300 Maxidyne. I had a tear in my eye when he was discussing it.

Probably could but the machinist would need drawings for some of the assembly. And good luck with that. I just put the word out to some guys who would know where to look.

Bethlehem Steel had planned on building 300-400 Sears Kit homes in my town, but only 61 were completed. They were marketed to workers who had just returned from fighting in WWII. https://www.mcall.com/news/mc-xpm-2007-05-13-3731208-story.html

Meh. For a Yamaha I guess it's kind of cool.

Glenn, are you the one who posted on Facebook and some knucklehead suggested you go to an automotive electrical shop? If that was you, I am the one who (politely) told that guy "Are you effing insane?" Let me do some sniffing around for you.

Very cool!!! Vlad, what engine is in the Cruiseliner??

Cummins ISX15 at 600hp We received six bid proposals, and this one was the lowest responsible bid. Highest was Seagrave at over a million and a quarter. I have two 20lb ansuls fillled with Purple K in my garage!!!

Yes. The aerial will be a metallic gun-metal gray. I fought to go complete polar opposite- red with black stripes.....But got out-voted by the kids. The black and red is for our local high school sports teams- we are a big High School Football and Baseball town.

Rowdy does your little guy have the original wooden thomas toys and tracks? I wish I had them when I was a wee lad. All I had was sticks and rocks.

Commercial cabs can usually be outfitted with at least four SCBA seats (officer up front and three bucket seats across the back if a four-door.) And yes as Quickfarms stated, a Quint is a 5-function vehicle, usually an aerial ladder with a pump. In our case a 111' straight ladder (no bucket) with a pump, a 500 gallon tank, preconnected attack lines plus a bed for 800' of supply line, and we will have 247' of ground ladders. I have attached a pdf of the final design drawings. The frame rails and cross members will all be galvanized, and have just been received back at the plant from the galvanize vendor. All cuts, notches, holes and flanges, brackets etc have already been performed or welded to the rails, then they were shipped to the galvanize shop. They should hit the factory floor the last week of July. We are on schedule to go to the factory the last week of January to do our final inspection. 23573-HELLERTOWN-PA.pdf

I don't know what happens there but here in Eastern Pennsylvania as well as numerous large cities, small towns and other sizes of municipalities all across this great continent we get out of the rig with our SCBA on and tools or hoseline in hand, ready to go to work in a rapid, orderly military manner. Aggression seen as being reckless in some eyes is a coordinated offensive attack in experienced and trained eyes. We came, we saw, we kicked ass.

Red Horse, what's gong on? Anything I can help with? I have been on 5 truck committees including one for which the frame rails will hit the factory floor come the last week of July- a quint being built by HME/Ahrens Fox in Wyoming, Michigan for $1,072,000

Marion's primary (custom) chassis & cab supplier is Spartan. Unless things have changed their preferred vendor for commercial chassis was Freightliner, but they will build on anyone's chassis if preferred by the customer. One HUGE drawback of commercial chassis is the increased length, smaller cramp angle and increased turning radius.

Gotcha. In many areas any addition of impervious coverage requires a permit whether a temporary structure or not.
