That engine started out in PJ by getting broadsided by a NYSDOT snow plow. Then there were some other problems too but when the bugs were worked out the guys said it was a good engine for years. 3 of us from Butler made it to their wetdown after travelling to/from Elmira for the ALF 150 celebration in August 1982. By the time it was replaced by a Pierce in 2002, the Pemfab was all full of holes from a bad rust problem. It left for Missouri just before the annual parade in July 2002. Yes, I did get to ride it a few times, several while visitng on Sunday afternoons when they got called out for a pool filing detail and another to pump water from a flooded basement into the Delaware River.
