Classic Kansas City Fire Department KCFD Retired Truck 7 from Fire House 19



1950 Seagrave 85ft Ladder with a wash tub tillerman's seat.



This was the only tiller in the fleet with a wash tub tiller seat. Also this was the only Seagrave Ladder until the 1960's. KCFD ran all ALF 700 tillers during the 1950's.



Served Truck 7 at Fire House 19 then Truck 4 at Fire House 7 it was disposed of in 1979 and sold to Pecuiler, MO and was again sold to a private collector in 1990. It went through a number of private collectors and now is owned by a retired KCFD FAO from Truck 2. He has placed a 2 number plate on the side but it never served at Truck 2. The first collector was going to refinish it in Seagrave Red but did not like the dark red so it is now in a cherry or candy apple red.



This FAO also owns old Truck 10 a 1976 Seagrave 100ft white over lime-green tiller.
