Quote:Yep that's it. Last Hahn purchased by Dale City. Green stripe and additional graphics put on in 82-83. I was told that this was the last Hahn/LTI tower to be built but never had that confirmed.That would be incorrect. In 1984, a Hahn/LTI 100' tower went to Hawthorne, NJ. Paramus, NJ got another one in 1985. The final Hahn/LTI tower went to Far Hills - Bedminster, NJ in 1989. Quote:Ex-FDNY Tower Ladder 170It's just sad seeing these 95 footers going to scrap.
I heard that the tower ladder has a cracked frame, as did ex-Ladder 14. Wonder if Seagrave got bad steel, or has a design flaw.

The weather was not the greatest but we still had fun talking shop with fellow members and shooting the rigs that showed up despite the rain. First up was a rig we found at the parade lineup spot but whoever owns this rig now did not take part in the festivities.My God, I am in love with this thing.... Those old Dodge D-700's where so cool and unique!
Found these two sitting behind Seagrave Carolina in Rock Hill, SC. Anyone have any more info on these?

1918 Mack & a 1909 American LaFrance City Service truck. Check out the wooden rims on the Lafrance. Sadly I think they are going to be scraped. Anyone have records of Mack & LaFrance apparatus, I have some numbers off them.
Eport,
Do you have any contact info on the 2 trucks in the lot I know a guy who is trying to get it because he wants to try to save the alf
