dcc kaiser Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Bought the ex-Bala Cynwyd 1948 Mack last month. Nice rig, have it cleaned and lettered, but when I hooked it up to a hydrant this afternoon, I found out that at some point during it's soujorun out west, the pump froze up, the case is split wide open. So, now I'm looking for a 750GPM 3 outlet pump, one that isn't cracked. What good is a L85 that can't pump at draft at Harrisburg in July?

1958 F.W.D. Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Mack did not make the pump. Chances are that it is a Waterous pump, possibly a Hale.

Firemack Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hi George,I may have one coming from an L85. I am working right now to get the rear for the Clifton Heights Mack and may also have the pump.Firemack Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/16820-need-a-l85-fire-pump/#findComment-68382 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to Nick at the Philly Muster about that rear for their Mack, told them they could look at the one in our burned rig, but probably the fire was so hot that it is pretty much toast, so to speak. It's a shame, I have 3 Hale pumps out there, but they are just so roasted that anything rubber or leather is gone.
