Mike,
V-114 was titled to the County around Christmas 2007 to get what they could out of it as part of the deal that brought 7308 in and ordered V-135. It was a win/win, they got some value out of the deal, we got a working engine and didn't have to worry about getting rid of it. I had heard that they traded it to Downtown in return for services rendered and that Downtown was trying to sell it minus a working motor. For a slower house the rest of the rig was in good shape - pay for a rebuilt motor and it would give someone a lot of good service.
V-119 was sold to a VFD in Oklahoma back in 2004 through a broker. They had a flat bed sent for it, we went up to the County dump behind West Ox shops where they built a ramp out of, um, materials available, and one of our AFC's drove it up the ramp onto the flat bed and off it went to OK. There are photos of it being loaded, I'll see if Myke has them electronic and post them here.
Funny side story on that rig, there was a typo on the title dating back to delivery in 83 that I was working with the Chief of the VFD that bought it to fix. I had to call him about the issue and while on the phone asked if they had used it yet. He was all excited - oh yes, worked a barn fire the week it got there, flowed 30,000 gallons through it, worked great - is a nice truck, you have anything else you want to sell?
Amazing how one man's junk is another man's treasure..........

I am assuming the 1993 Pierce Arrow (V-114) has been disposed of or sold?
Also, do you have any idea where V-119, the rehabed 1983 Seagrave, ended up?
Thanks Shawn,
