Does anyone know what the third rig destroyed was? Anyone have pics of it? Just curious. It's a shame when vintage rigs like these are suddenly gone. I feel fortunate to have photos of the Hahn and Mack.

Darin, this is what Kratzerville had for sale back in July,1994. I don't have any info on this, other than it is a early-to-mid60's Ford F/Central.

This is also an Ex-Kratzerville Engine. Penns Creek Engine 11-2, 1972 Chevrolet T60/Hahn 1000/750. This was donated by Kratzerville when they purchased my Hahn.

Not sure what year I took this photo at Pump Primers.



I have no info on this engine other than what you see. Does anyone have anything on this?



Looks like it could be originally from Victory Fire Co. Spring Garden Twp. York, PA

Thanks, Darin, could you please check on the year and make of this stepvan? This was also sitting outside at Kratzerville back in 1994, but it appeared to be in service.
