fireflem Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Well I need some help. I have a Mack fire engine 65' C95 open cab. I broke it and need help getting it fixed.. The brakes locked up on it and I broke the drive train. Not the drive shaft but the part that goes from the transmission to the pump / transfer case. It has a flange that has about 10 bolts that goes down to a part that looks like the PTO gear on the back of a large tractor. Two questions 1. Can it be taken apart and fixed or does it need to be machined?2. How can i get the broken part out, do I need to remove the pump / transfer case or just disassemble the lower half?Thanks in advancefireflem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Hatfield Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Does it look like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireflem Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 It is the short drive shaft that goes into the transfer case. The flange does look like the one pictured but it has a gear that comes out the back side of the pictured that looks like the PTO on the back of a large tractor. I will try to get a picture of it on Friday, the engine is at the shop. the rear brakes are locked up on it still.thanks againfireflem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 That L model is infamous in fire truck collector's circles. Can you imagine responding in that beast with that high center of gravity? 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

1958 F.W.D. Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 If memory serves me correctly that snorkel boom was added after the fact........... Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadstar Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 That is a unique truck....I spent some time there on Saturday checking it out. I was also curious when the boom was added? It's in really nice shape....also wondering why they left it on the trailer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack458 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Truck was originally owned by the Paoli Fire Company in Pennsylvania. I don't know what year the Snorkel was added. I think it then went to the fire company with the name on the boom and then to a private collector. It is now in possession of the Black Diamond Chapter of SPAAMFAA.

fxfymn Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I think they left it on the trailer because the trailer was stuck in the mud. They didn't want to chance sinking the L model as well. What is really unusual about this rig is that it is a full blown snorkel, not a squirt. Looks like someone was a Chicago buff that did this one.

Yes it was the one with the casket on the back....don't know if it was at Yankee candle.
