fxfymn Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 There was a thread about the Keystone Tractor Museum recently, so I thought there might be some interest in these photos. We moved a 1924 Maxim pumper on my truck and trailer to the museum that was purchased from a deceased club member's collection. The museum will display it to show what an original fire truck looks like before restoration.As the other thread said if you haven't seen the collection you really need to get there. Quite the collection of trucks, tractors, fire apparatus, and even cars. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Green Dash Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 It's still nice and clean. Do you know what size the tires are?

fxfymn Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 I don't know the tire size, but one of the few things the previous owner completed on the truck was to equip it with brand new tires.I'll plead ignorance on the White Bash; what is it?

fxfymn Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 That fire chief's car in the museum looks veeery KooL!Yep, it looks super, but according to the museum manager it has the "blonde" syndrome; all looks and no depth. He claimed the engine was dropped in without proper motor mounts and it will torque right out of the frame if you let it. It's a shame, because it would be a cool driver to take to shows and parades.The 55 Chevy next to the truck is the cleanest 55 I have ever seen. What a beautiful ride.
