L to R: the 89 Seagrave TDA, EX-?; the 76 Seagrave tractor with the boat tender; a reserve Seagrave engine, storage trailer, and the 79 Seagrave TDA.

The 1979 was the first tiller Monessen bought from the city. They bought it in 1991 or 1992. This was 24 Truck. The other that is the boat tender is a 1976. This one was 5 Truck and was purchased for parts. They still have the turntable and two ladder sections. The trailer was scrapped. The 79 has a bad aerial and there is a problem with the hydraulics. This truck was supposed to have been on E-Bay with no takers. Plans are for it to be scrapped in the spring.
As fpr the newer one with the American Flag painted in the grill, it is a 1989 and was bought on E-Bay for $13,500 from Malden, Mass. This truck has hydraulic outriggers and a pre-piped waterway. They put all new emergency and scene lights on this truck along with tires, bodywork and a complete new paint job. The ladder was refurbed by Seagrave. This truck is a nice looking truck. The 76 and 79 are available.
