Relics - Marc - 01-11-2007
I took these pics back in July of 2005. The tow truck driver was just hooking the TL to the tow truck when i shot these pics. This Tower Ladder and a few old Yonkers Mack CF Engines had been sitting in a rear lot of the Yonkers Raceway. The engines were already gone by this point. The tow truck driver said that he was towing the TL to a scrap yard in Newark, NJ. No clue whatever happened to this old rig.

Thats really really really depressing... i feel like crying now...

Quote:Sutphens 3rd ladder ever built
Not sure where you got that information, but I highly doubt it, unless they remounted it on a newer chassis. GMC didn't begin using that style cab until 1967. By 1967, Sutphen had produced no less than 12 towers.

I dunno thats what our tour guide said, unless i goofed and uploaded the wrong picture. Sorry

-This was our old TL-71, a 1985 Mack CF/Aerialscope. Was a workhorse (caught alot of work), and I caught some jobs on it !! It was replaced with a 1999 ALF Tower (which will be replaced with a 2007/8 ALF Tower)

Found on the side of US 411 in Etowah, TN. Not sure what the thing is on the roof. Old electronic siren?

Are you sure that it's on the rig? Looks like something attached to the building in the background. That's an early 1950's International L-Series chassis, but there's not enough visible to make out the body. Maybe a 750 GPM pump.

Yup, it's on the roof of the ol' gal. I had to do a double take and stop to make sure. No placs of name brands on the body.

Saw this when I went to pick up calenders at VSI in Lexington KY. Sorry they arent the best photos, rig wouldn't start and theres construction equipment everywhere.
Montauk's (NY) 1985 Pierce Arrow, serial #7724W. Likely will end up in pieces if they don't get a buyer soon..

The batteries were dead. No one around could tell me a price, they didn't want to guess wrong then get the boss angry. It's in pretty good shape I think, hardly any rust and they said it has a good engine(which is what might get ripped out of it). The place selling it is Vehicle Sysytems Inc. in Lexington KY.
Relics - John Kenealy - 01-19-2007
Wow, I know a lot of departments that could use that Montauk truck as their first out piece.
Relics - smketrfdny - 01-19-2007
No disrespect, but Montauk is a very slow dept. VERY rural, except for the summer season. It is the last town on the South fork of Long Island. Almost a 2 1/2 hour ride from NYC.
Except for the salt air, that rig should almost be pristine.
FYI, they throw a helluva st pattys day parade.
Stay safe, Brothers.

Its a shame to see that Pierce sitting there. Hopefully somebody can afford to put it back in use! I've seen multiple FD's in this area that could use that rig first out. One local FD is still running a 1969 Ford/WLF first out.
I found this old gal sitting on the side of Highway 19 at Steve's Cycle Center. It last served Saunook-Balsam (they were once combined, now Saunook & Balsam-Willetts-Ochre Hill are seperate FD's) Fire Dept. here in Haywood County. I couldn't find a year model, but somebody guessed late 30's or early 40's? It's a Dodge and served a local apple orchard before the owner donated it to Saunook-Balsam as their first tanker. What a rig!
Saunook-Balsam (NC) Fire Dept. "Ex-1402"

These three shots of what appears to be a Series 600 American LaFrance Pumper, maybe a 1940's built rig, sitting in Hickory, NC a few years back passing time away.
The location of this town is: Mill Creek, NC which is in Carteret County, NC
Relics - Guest - 01-20-2007
Andy,
I know that Dodge used that cab style well after WWII. My Department had a 46 Dadgo Sanford. My Grandfather was Chief when it was bought, he also had the Dodge dealership in town at that time! I am not sure when thay redesigned their truck lines but most were Car Co's redesign their trucks by 47 or 48!
In the case of our old Dodge, I am on the hunt for it! John, (CNYfiretrucks ) shot it 4 or 5 years ago, outside of Onieda New York. I went for a ride a couple of weeks ago and it is not there any more, so the hunt continues.
Good find,
tim/csff25
Relics - Truckman - 01-20-2007
A International- maybe a Barton American Pumper sitting near the series 600 AmLaF in Hickory, NC. passing the time way.

I found this hulk behind a barbed wire fence on a festival grounds along US 301 south of Zephyrhills FL yesterday. It is a
1955 (?) FWD, perhaps an ex-FDNY rig. FLJack.
