It might be in the Schenectady area. There is a guy who has a B and L model that he has restored.

You might want to check with the local SPAAMFA chapter, Tri-Valley Fire Brigade, they might be able to help you.

I had someone ask, does anyone know where Ridge Culver NY 1979 Seagrave was sold to?

Looking for help finding this rig.1979 Seagrave. It started life with Ridge Culver Fire dept in Irondequoit Ny as E-184. It was decomissioned in 2003 and sold to Shoemaker Associates of Hamburg NY. They claim to have sold it to Brindlee Mt. Brindlee claims to have sold it to Hartstown Fire dept in PA. Which was disolved in 2004. There is conflicting info that the truck was the same truck sold from Brindlee Mt. They only have record of 1 , 79 Seagrave they sold in that time frame but a picture was way off. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hartstown became part of a big merger in Crawford County. I've seen pictures of the Seagrave they had, and it didn't look anywhere as good as the one posted above, so I don't believe it is the same rig. EMS12 should have a picture of it somewhere.

Here is a shot of Marlborough NY's early 1980's Sutphen pumper shot by my father at the 1987 Hudson Valley Convention Parade at North Tarrytown NY (now Sleepy Hollow). I'd love to know if this rig is still in service and would be interested in seeing a drivers side shot of this rig if anyone has one.

Depending on the year, It's either a Memco or a Sponco.

I was leaning torward Sponco. From the link it shows a left side and the name of the aerial is shown but hard to see. Appears to be Sponco.
