What caught my eye was this 1970 ALF/1985 Greenwood Fire Apparatus from North Attleborough out front of the store

This was originally built as an Aero Chief 90.

Th ALF from Hudson, NH is still across the street, only it is not visible from the road anymore. The woman in the store told me it was there, its behind a mound of dirt/ rotten apples

It looks like this tractor was replaced in 1977 and it lived on with an International tractor until 1998.

The final rig in the lot was this once-proud ALF JOX operated by the Baker Heights, WV fire company. [/quote]



Is this a JOX or a 700 series??? I thought the JOX's had a more flattened out and squared off front????????

And, I understand that JOX was only used for mid-mount ladder trucks.

A photo of one of the [3] retired LACoFD ALF Aerials. Unfortunately the pen was locked up and I was unable to get any good shots.

He can't buy directly from LACoFD anyway...lol! They've been sitting there for a couple years now. Usually, LA County auctions their rigs off a lot sooner than this.

The JOX did have a flat front, nose.



Look in the AmericanLaFrance thread.

I passed by the "Apple Bin" in Esopus heading to the Kingston Fire Museum last weekend. Wish I was heading S/B instead of N/B. Would have stopped to photograph it. Took the Thruway home so maybe next time !
