The ladder was out of service at the end of 1994 and the most of 1995 due to the bearings being shot in the turntable. It was finally sent out for repair in 10/95. The tractor has a 477 CI gas engine, automatic. It was finally taken out of service in 12/2000, would not pass ladder certification, company did not want to put anymore money into it.
