Loadstar Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Smfire History, You can also tell the difference between the truck your restoring and the older one in the "station" picture by the fenders......the newer one has wider fenders on both the front and rear.

Gmerrill0516 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 That's an ENF-707A engine. Same as in the 1949 85LS I've been working with. Sweet but I didn't think they had the sack to pump that much water. Mine is rated 750GPM. The B-21 with the big Hall-Scott was 1250 GPM I believe but that is a monster of an engine...Good to see it.Greg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32833-intro-1952-125ls-santa-monica/page/2/#findComment-207419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Hatfield Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Good looking truck. To me the "L" is the premier Mack fire truck!

SMFire History Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Does the truck have air brakes? Does the L-125 mean something different than the pump size??Yes on air brakes. Will have them gone through in the next few weeks to resolve a leak and solve an issue of them not disengaging right away.I believe the 125 designator is related to the pump size as the sales literature is written that way. Front bumper is specified as "24QL 234Pl" Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32833-intro-1952-125ls-santa-monica/page/2/#findComment-207736 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADDOG93 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 My B-95 707C 1,000 gpm pumped 1,075 gpm on her last pump test ! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32833-intro-1952-125ls-santa-monica/page/2/#findComment-208031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulromano Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thanks for the clarification and pics of the brochure. I had not seen the L125 brochure before and appreciate your posting it. The four discharges threw me off. MADOG93: not surprised. Mack was always conservative on ratings. We took a 1000 pump in a CF chassis, put on intake horns from a C-125 and pumped over 1800 gpm from a hydrant. Of course all pump ratings were at draft, not hydrant. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32833-intro-1952-125ls-santa-monica/page/2/#findComment-208071 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMFire History Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 FDNY-The serial # for the 52 is 125LS 1038. We have the 48 listed on a chassis register from the Mack Museum but it does not list the serial number.

bigrigclassics Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 The Mack L's with Hall Scotts were L-21.

SMFire History Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 The filter is an encapsulated style that looks like a brake canister below the chassis. I'll look for a pic. A heavy equipment buddy says its a Luberfiner canister with a short 750. They're on order so we'll see if they fit once they arrive.

SMFire History Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 This original photo was just donated by one of our Chiefs. It's dated May 29, 1952 and is the delivery of our 125. Notice the Mack salesman on the left and his Mack bulldog tie.... 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32833-intro-1952-125ls-santa-monica/page/2/#findComment-249971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
