The 85 (E-12) was pretty tired. It had a fair amount of cab rot, but it ran very well. Co1 took very good care of it, and it lasted them many good years. Additionally many complained that it was a horrible rig to drive (hard to shift). It was possibly the only "new cab" design Hahn built with a manual tranny? I personally operated it many times, it was a great rig to drive and it pumped like a champ. The 83 (E-32) was also pretty worn, and had a fair amount of rot. It was a hell of a good running rig, and pumped awesome!! The 83 ran as a spare in the fleet for a good clip. Both the 83 and the 85 were removed from service close to the same time period. The two E\-One gliders were assigned to Co 2 and Co 3. The 79 Hahn which was E-21 became EQ-21, the E\-One 50' Quint. The 79 Hahn which was E-31 became the E\-One pumper and was assigned as E-31. In recent years the quint has been re-assigned to Co 3 as Ladder 31, and the pumper is now E-61, a spare Engine. Glastonbury now has become a prominently Spartan/Marion department. They have been a very good apparatus, and continue to serve the town with pride.
