Popular Post 1958 F.W.D. Posted April 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2013 Lets see if I can do this without fooking it up......Last week, my father and I had the opportunity to go aboard FDNY's new fireboat, "FIREFIGHTER II" assigned to Marine Company 9 on Staten Island. Here is a shot of one of the auxiliary engines, I think this is the one that powers the bow thrusters. Here is one of the four main engines. Note the size of the turbos- they are HUGE. I will look up the If you see this in your rearview mirror, you better GTFO my way!!!!! A big load I saw not too long ago, sitting on the side of Rt 309 just north of Quakertown, Pa. below I-78. I think this must have been one of those pterodactyl dinosaur-birds. Load was splattered all over the hood, too. I hope he got something to settle his stomach. A buddy of mine and the Women of Hellertown- they wouldn't leave him alone for some reason. They are as annoying as them women in Winfall. Saw the Ectomobile headed northbound on I476 (the Northeast Extension of the Pa Pike) around yardstick 33.One of my son's teachers- In the spirit of proper parenting, I always volunteer to go to the classroom for any parent-teacher conferences. Whether they are doing good in school or not. I wasn't driving, honest!!!! This is what's parked next to the FWD. (after I win the powerball.) 5 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slpwlker Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Who you gonna call?Big Oshkosh M911. Detroit powered. Got the vin and the axle info also. What is left of the deck after it finished it off. Since it is a top heavy whore I am leaning something fierce. With the tire in the hole. Let me tell you it is going to be a long ride To Pa. I feel like I am on a boat with the amount of sway I have. Also for you enjoyment I left the Pic of the Peterbilt out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slpwlker Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 That teacher would make me loose an axle also!Slow and steady Slpwlker. Slow and steady.I'd like to loose more then an axle with that Teacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 The reason the turbos look big is because of the water jacket housing. They are water cooled. The actual turbo is similar in size to one on a truck engine.And you thought I was going to talk about the big Ts on the teacher. BTW, the TK ladies are "pale" in comparison to Hooters. Just sayin'.Interesting pics tho. Any info on the fire truck loosing the rear axle?

1958 F.W.D. Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 About the firetruck/axle pic: it's been floating around various fire-related forums for about a year now. Word on the street is that an after-event inspection revealed that the U-bolts were NFG as they rotted out.....driver jumped on the brakes and got quite a surprise.If you guys want to see more pix of the engine room and/or more of the fireboat holler and I will post em. She's quite an impressive ship.And I like teachers- you do something wrong and they make you do it over again.

Vladislav Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Once I wisited my son's school, they gave a self made concert.And I saw there a pretty nice teacher by the role of a Snow queen.Next time I got exersizes for my son and learned that teacher is English/French teacher.So I asked about personal lessons (for me) and was answered "Yes, I do".After it I got 7 or 8 grammer lessons and was going to take her a lesson of car driving.But next I stopped myself.She was not tall enough and was not brown eyed but blue and somebody need to study my son English!Randy, nice pics, especially the s**t on the wind screen.Are those girls from Tilted kilt?

JumperAndSon Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The U bolt fail reminds me of American Graffiti cop car Ford. Maybe some drunken kids had something to do with it.I couldn't see the blower on the boat, is it on the other side of the engine?
