Relics - John Kenealy - 09-18-2007
Found this one today, a 1958 IH/Young 750 gpm pumper from Castile (Wyoming County) NY. It carries Young Serial Number 58-21. It's for sale if anyone wants her.

This truck was recently on eBay. Not sure if it is still listed or not.

The listing is over, it did not sell. I saw it and noticed that the "item location" was in my area. I contacted the seller and was given the location & permission to photograph the truck.
I have gotten a few photo opportunities in this fashion from checking Ebay.

John, do have any history on this rig. Hastings ( Oswego Co. ) had a similar IH/Young years ago.

i believe this is probably a New Bedford Mass maxim, ,shows blue municipal fire plate on drivers side riot protection was similar but not Boston's type especially rear step

I think its a Ward Lafrance.

Andrew, it's a Ward LaFrance. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />I don't remember the exact name for that particular model. Fireball...? A friend of mine owned one for a short period of time a couple of years ago.
Relics - e290l103 - 09-19-2007
The rig in Snow Shoe is owned by the guy that owns the gas station at the bottom of the exit. he owns several others, and when I was there 3 weeks ago, he had an old International VCO sitting by the road.
the Mack L in Sussex is Ex-Edgewater, NJ. it was a very unique rig, sad to see it in its current state...

After checking through some of my reference books it appears to be a Ward LaFrance Firebrand.

Actually, Trina is correct. Ward LaFrance called this the "G" cab, named after the man who designed it, Firepics' own Rich Gergel. It came in two versions, the Firebrand and the Fireball. The Firebrand was powered by a Waukesha or International engine and pumped either 750 or 1000 GPM. The economy model Fireball, like the conventional-cab Fireball Model 44, was powered by a Chrysler Industrial V-8 and pumped either 500 or 750 GPM. The rig in question is a 1960 Fireball with a 500 GPM pump that served the West End FC in Glen Iron, PA.

I don't think it has moved in over 20 years. I remember first driving past it in the late 80s on the way up to the NJ First Aid Council convention in the Catskills. I always wanted to get a closer look at it and find out where it originally ran. Thanks to FDNYTrucks for the ID. It's a neat rig. It's sad to see it rusting away.

Thanks, Dave. I was hoping I hadn't pulled that name out of nowhere. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_crazy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

That's RT 9H and I think it is a Sutphen only because that's whose logo is on the pump panel gauges.

Quote:That's RT 9H and I think it is a Sutphen only because that's whose logo is on the pump panel gauges.
But that isn't Sutphen bodywork. There is no listing in my Young database that matches this rig. Young and Sanford used the same basic style of bodywork, but I think this is a Sanford. Since Sutphen has a facility in eastern NY, it is likely that the gauges came from there during repairs. The trim around the 2.5" intake is typical Sutphen as well. I checked the Milton, NY FD's website, but their history page is blank.
