fxfymn Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Last I heard the tender was still in existense, in Texas I think. The pumper was scrapped.

convoyduel Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 No, I believe there's a picture of the pumper behind a Superliner in 2004 at a convention but the tractor was not there and reported in bad shape. I believe the tender is the truck in the hands of a collector down in Texas. The Napier Deltic wasn't running, though.

jaysm35a2 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Did the FDNY auction off their old trucks? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22819-macksuperpumper/#findComment-99389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Yes, FDNY auctions off the old stuff.You are correct about the super pumper. According to Eckart it is in Michigan and is being pulled by a super liner. The tender is in SoCal. Sorry for the bad scoop.

bulldogboy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 There is a picture of the collector owned Superpumper in Harvey Eckart's book, "Mack Fire Trucks 1911 - 2005", page 121. The owner hauls it to shows with an "RW" model tractor. I have heard that he still owns the "F" model tractor. Also heard that the tender is in CA. I would have loved to see the Superpumper in action. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/22819-macksuperpumper/#findComment-101395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
