  4. on my LS85 1954 fire pumper we kept the spoke wheels , new dayton rims, new radials 1100 x 22.5 what a difference in ride (tubeless) and much safer
  5. Anyone know where to purchase new brake & clutch rubber paddle pads for an L model ?
  6. was the Fire Body built by Mack in Allentown Pa.? are you on the west coast or was it original to a west coast fire dept.or co. ?
  7. the Hall -Scott where used for high pumping ability because a Mack engine in that time period was not large enough, used mostly on the west coast fire depts.. I HAVE A 1954 LS85 Mack 750 gpm pump but if a dept ordered a Hall -Scott because of the larger engine the hood is actually 11'' longer
  8. Hey John S. , young Joel Bains has a Mack CF with Aearilscope former Port Norris ,N.J. ,I don't have a contact number him can you find him?
  9. Do you have a MACK fire extinguisher (chrome) ? post some photos please
  10. wide rims & tires on the rear ,is that a west coast thing
  11. do you have Mack spoke type or Budd wheels ? my previous reply I had spoke wheels and the new daytons fit right on the hubs no problem ,painted light gray can't really tell the difference,all about safety
  12. 2 years ago changed all 6 on my 54 LS85 to 1100 x 22.5 tubeless Radials with new dayton rims what a difference and no dangerous split rims
  13. try Cal Little in Hummelstown Pa. 717-566-8973, Also do a post on the Antique form on Big Mack Trucks as the 707 engines used on Macks other than fire apparatus
  14. don't know where you are located but Cal Little can help with several items,the Mack fire extinguisher good luck with that item $1k if you can find a good one
  15. very neat, I studied the photo closely then read the buy line and was set-back to see that it was in fact a model, it does look very real
  16. horn button not the problem, horn bracket too much paint ,not grounded , filed paint off ,FIXED
  17. are the rotors moving when you turn the engine over ? I think actual any coil might work to start temporary . also Macks work on a positive ground system
  18. what is the trick to remove the horn button on the steering wheel on my 1954 'L'model ?
  19. the CF looks Great ,good luck with it
  20. Do you still have the LS 85 Mack? don't know about the head liner but someone should be able to help
  21. I think it might be a telephone line crew truck ,does it have a bed winch or a power take off on the trans? the area your in looks like the mid west ?
  22. I had 900 x20 on my Mack fire truck , almost 2 years ago I also wanted to get rid of the split rims ,I had one rim that I know was really rusted and dangerous ,(my truck is a 54 yr) I switched to Dayton rims and 1100x 22.5 radial tires (Chinese). what a difference in the ride. If you can consider new rims too
  23. that is a 6 cyl flat head, sock filter?
