I have slides of two 70's ALF engines. The one I posted, and the other assigned to Engine 1. Was there 1 or 2 of these purchased?



Which tiller did Monesson get. I posted Mike Martinelli's link below. If you look at the picture you can tell that Monesson got old Truck 12. Monesson also has a boat tender though which is an old Seagrave tractor. It is from the old Truck 14.

Shoop, there was 1 purchased. It was the one you posted. Apparently when the bureau purchased the next round of rigs in 1981, which would have been the big Ford Louisvilles, the on assigned to Engine 1 replaced this LaFrance. It must then of went to 14 Engine. Mgk 110 talks to a retired driver from 14 Engine and he would be able to tell you. I haven't talked to Sparky in a while.

As for the Monesson tiler, I was told they only bought 1 and that it was from 14. They purchased another one from up in Mass. The old Pgh tiller tractor is now used to pull the boat. Monesson keeps their old apparatus, dont ask where but they have quite a few.
