RedBullDog Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Gotta love Montana Craigslist ads, so many times they are willing to trade for cattle. I wonder if the "naughty ads" under personals mention cattle too? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48377-old-alf/#findComment-358508 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldogboy Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I think that ALF called this the "Fire Queen" model airport crash truck. There was a later model called the "Airport Chief". Back in the '50s, ALF built the USAF's O-10, O-11A, and O-11B crash trucks. The one on CL has a front ground sweep nozzle but looks like the roof turret is gone. Nice old ARFF vehicle. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48377-old-alf/#findComment-358670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted January 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2017 The U.S. Navy’s requirements for cross-country 6x6 pumpers led to the development of the American LaFrance Model YDXF-1 foam pumper. Built in 1954, it was powered by the same 320 horsepower ( at 2,800 rpm) dual-carbureted Continental Model S680-1 820 cubic inch six-cylinder engine used in several other military trucks. The pumper used American LaFrance’s 700 Series civilian cab, mounted high to provide clearance for the truck’s driven front axle. With 14.00x20 tires, it had 14 inches of ground clearance and excellent angles of approach and departure resulting in good off-road mobility. A synchronized Spicer five-speed transmission and Timken T13 two-speed transfer case were paired with Timken HM240-HX five-ton military axles (6.443 ratio). The truck’s chassis was based on the military five-ton 6x6. With a 190-inch wheelbase, the YDXF-1 was a versatile rig despite its 37,000 pound (16,783 kg) gross weight. The pumper carried 750 galons of foam concentrate which was supported by a 2,000 gallon-per-minute pump, and mounted a 750 gallon-per-minute main water pump with 1,200 feet of hose. The YDXF1 was tested at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, in the summer of 1954. . 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/48377-old-alf/#findComment-358683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
