Any chance you could deliver it to Macungie? If so I’ll take it. Thanks, Mike

It would sell easily in PA.

I sent you a message.

I have a 42” flat top sleeper off an IH that I would sell in pa.

I like it. Being chain drive is a big plus. You should be able to get $3000 for that.

I have an odd setup on my 1922 I can send you a photo of. I got a used pump from Matt Pfahl that I plan to have rebuilt but have not gotten to. You could try him. Jerry Ayers had a couple parts AB’s. You could reach out to him. He is on her. Mike.

You can submit an information request on line at the. Mack Museum website. That is where they would send you if you called them. They are still processing requests but it takes a while.

Did you try Doug Fetterly?

Very interesting story about the Lanova. I have a 672 Lanova in my 1950 Mack LFT. They type 75 would not have come with the Lanova. The 75 designation was specific for one engine. I’m pretty sure it got a different model number if it has a different engine. Mack was not building diesel fire trucks at that time. It is possible that this truck was built as a pumper tanker or maybe just a tanker but that is a little less likely. The Mack museum would be able to tell you that. Mack built most of there fire bodies themselves, but there were times when they sent the chassis to another body builder like Hahn for the body to be built, but they were still consider custom Mack fire apparatus. The fact that this one is a type 75 shows that it is one of these. Other vender would build fire bodies in commercial chassis but they would have a commercial serial number starting with E. mike

Do you know Gary Mahan? He is the best person to start with. You can email him from their website. The Mahan Collection. let’s see some photos. Mike

Thanks for the update. Will you have it at Macungie? I hope to see it. Mike

Neat truck. It is a type 40. My father has a 1941 type 45. I do not know the difference. They are based on the small E model not A model. If you have not heard , you can get some of the information you need form the Mack museum. They work on donations. They are pretty backed up with requests.

The Superliner hydroseeder looked great the last time I saw it about 10 years ago. No bids either. I’ll have to sign up and bid. I doubt it will sell cheap though.

It’s been so long since we heard from you I thought you gave up on this project. I could bring you a cab if you want something to work on inside. I’ve heard you have experience with that. Mike.

How much do you think it cost to make it look that nice?

I see them on eBay every so often. None right now though.

I think they were for salesmen. I have seen them with different slogans for different years. I have three of them.

Where are you at Alexis? Tell us about yourself.

Welcome to the forum. I have an 85LS pumper. The guy who rebuilt my water pump is no longer doing it but I have used Arthur Gould for a couple other truck. Mike

I saw you have it listed for sale. I hope it can find a good home. It is way to nice to cut up. There are lots of tractors available in that price range. Mike.

Nice truck. Yes. It has a short hood like a B67. My father has a B46 tractor. I think it has an EN464 in it. i agree with Vlad. It would be great if you left the truck intact. There are very few B model mixers in existence. It would be a shame to take this one apart. There are dozens of B61 tractors for sale. Sell this and buy one of them or keep this and buy another. Your truck, but it would be a real shame to take it apart. Mike.

That first drive must have felt amazing after all that work. Thanks for the update. Mike

Congratulations. Let’s see the video.

I went to the Cole Museum in 1997 or so. I was really impressed. From the photos I’ve seen it has changed quite a bit. I’ll be in Bangor next week but don’t have time to stop. I went to the Bickford collection about 8 years ago. There are a lot of neat trucks there too. I stopped at Yaworski’s in CT on a different trip. He still has a lot of trucks but said everything with pain left. He might have 150 trucks in his junk yard. Definitely worth a stop on the way by. Mike.

That is great. Keep at it. Thanks for the update. Mike.
