Quote:Hampden Township, PA operated this 1962 Mack C/Maxim 65' quint equipped with a 750 gpm pump and 200 gallon water tank. Is it still considered a quint with this small water tank? It was in 1962.

A real relic from Connellsville, does anyone know if CFD had a ladder between this ALF and the 62 Mack? Unknown, Jenkins collection [/quote] No there wasn't Doc. That ALF was the second motorized fire apparatus that Connellsville had, and also the very first ladder truck. It was ordered in June of 1916 and delivered in August of the same year at a cost of $6,200. This truck was delivered with 50, 40, and 32 foot extension ladders. It also carried 30 foot ladders on each side. This truck was sold to a local antique collector in 1962 to make room for the 1962 Mack C-Model quint. The 1916 had a total of 418 miles on it when it was sold. The 1962 aerial cost $42,000.

Chuck, what kind of shape is this in? [/quote] Runs great. Haven;t been able to get it out and pump yet. Told it still pumped as of June 2009. Rust on both sides at the corners by the jump seats. Other than that nothing else major to speak of. Here are some more [url="http://strousenet.smugmug.com/Other/Mack-CF/10783107_QkBjg#751683115_p7bD9"]pictures[/url] of it. |
