[quote name='mnsand' post='56568' date='Dec 5 2006, 19:57 ']This has always confused me and this is the type of situation where a serial number resolves the issue. Unfortunately, when I photographed a good part of the Richmond fleet, I was not taking the serial numbers at that time. Wish I had.



Here is my photo of Stafford's 1971 ALF 100' tiller. I also have that Fire Masters rehabed it in 1989. Here is the serial number I now have on this truck - 12-1-5626.



I also photographed Truck 3 in Richmond, a 1971 ALF 100' tiller. The info I now have is that it carried serial number 12-1-2556.



I will be the first to admit that there may be some errors with the serial numbers. Does anyone have the ALF serial numbers for the three 1971 ALF tillers delivered to Richmond?



Another question for the Richmond experts - Did Truck 2 at Richmond ever run a 1971 ALF 100' tiller? Other info I have on these tillers also says Truck 2 had one.



I am confused. Any info on which piece ended up at Stafford would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks,

Mike, As I have indicated the three 1971 American LaFrance tractor drawn tiller aerials were bought and assigned to Truck 3 - 8 and 9. Later on Truck 7 ended up with on of these. I am thinking that it came from Truck 8 when they got the "Heniz 57" truck, a Continental on an International chassis with a 100 foot American LaFrance aerial.



Truck 2 never operated a American LaFrance Aerial.
