frd1419 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Just bought a 1941 E Model Fire truck. Planning to start restoration soon. Any one know where to get a pump handle for it. The person that had it try moving it with a pry bar and snapped it. Ant help with other parts sources would be a great help.

engine2quarters Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Nice '41. Saw it on ebay last week. Almost bid on it but it came without the engine, supposedly. Which pump handle snapped, the one down by the running board, under the pump? Snapped off where? All it is is a solid steel shaft with a small bend in it. The small flange on the pump end has a cable eye (for clutch engagement) and slider (into the pump transfer case) I think.I had some extra parts from the pump engagement lever of an old Mack stored some place here. Let me know where it snapped and we'll go from there.Did you get an engine with it?

This one looks like it is cast instead of steel. Looks as though the metal fractured, the metal looks porus instead of being clean. He rebuilt the motor from another oneand installed it. Sounded great, I just need to tune it up with new plugs, cap and rotor. Any help would be great.

engine2quarters Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Fred...I'm having problems sending you some info in reply to your note. I'll try later, but so far your rinsing out the pump has removed some stuff. Let the water sit for awhile, then rinse it out again. More info to follow.jim Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/3585-another-e-model-saved/#findComment-18172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
