  4. Hi guys, where is the show in Lititz , directions from pa turnpike coming from jersey , are their any fire trucks at the show?
  5. thanks for reply, their is no vaccum unit , the transfer valve is manually operated, the control rod goes through the pump panel to 2 gears that rotate a diverter inside the pump casting , you can only move the knob a half turn , have another mack and the knob goes 3.5 turns to complete the operation of pressure to volumn or visa/versa. thanks, AL
  6. have a HALE 750 gpm fire pump on my 54 mack , the transfer control is stuck ,any ideas on how to free it up, someone said to remove the two 2.5 discharge manifold off and spray rust cutter up in their to free it up. THANKS

  8. thanks for the info,looks like that is what I'm going to have to do, I actually broke off the bleeder fitting that screwed into the cyl, these old trucks are nice but seems like ever part you fix it leads into another repair , this all started with replacing 1 brake line that was rusted through, then replaced 2 others , then the bleeding air from system broke the bleeder valve , and each wheel has 2 cyl's and none of the bleeders look good . thanks AL
