The rig was ex-Philadelphia Fire Department, a 700 series trailer rehorsed with a Mack B tractor. The PFD purchased 4 Mack B Tractors in the early 1960's, and replaced the 700 series ALF tractors. Oaklyn purchased the rig after service with the PFD, rehabbed it, and put it into service in the late 1970's. It was replaced by the ex Allentown, PA Mack CF/Maxim tiller ex "3 Ladder", which Oaklyn bought in the 1980's at auction, and used until recently. Both rigs are now privately owned by collectors. I'm sure more info on this rig is out there, and corrections are welcome. I also do not remember the roto-ray on the bumper when it was in service at Oaklyn. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/3_12_21.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Captain.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/stirpot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote]
Here's the X-Allentown,PA.;Oaklyn NJ Mack CF aerial just before being judged at the York Co.,PA.convention in Wrightsville on 8/15/09. Does Scott Mattson remember posing this at the 1993 Rose Tree,PA. muster? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
