Frank/Eric,



This is what I have on this rig.



Bruce



1979 Pemfab/Hamerly, Cincinnati 78 in. canopy cab, 1000/500. This was supposedly the last Hamerly to leave the plant before the company went bankrupt. In mid 1998, the drive shaft broke and damaged the pump and it was placed OOS, junked. Seen 2003 in junkyard off of Hook Road - Darby Twp. It was eventually scrapped.

I've been told a different story:



According to members of the Harborcreek FD (Erie County), they went to the Hamerly factory to pick up their new tanker, which they found sitting in the parking lot. The building was locked up and there was only one person there. The owner was very anxious to get their check, gave them the paperwork for their rig, wished them luck and drove off. While they checked out the rig, another car pulled up with two men, identifying themselves as Internal Revenue agents looking for the owner. They never saw him again, but they had good service from the rig for over 20 years.
