Freightrain Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 OK just trying to fulfill a lingering thought. My 237 came from an apparent fire engine and had a single disc clutch bell housing. Is that normal for a fire truck? Did it run a lighter duty 5 speed then an R model? Did they consider the fact it would not be pulling 73k lbs? Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

j hancock Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I talked to a fellow one time that claimed that there were 5 speed twin shaft transmissions for fire trucks versus the regular triple shaft. I never checked it out to see if that was correct or not. The sales engineer probably had different specs for a Maxidyne powered R rescue truck versus an R model water tanker.
