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.[/quote]
Here is the other Seagrave TDA from PBF at Monessen FD, a 79 100' that was replaced by the 89 J-model Seagrave.
