1993 Mack CF 1000gpm pumper

[Roto-Ray]

Some of you are aware that back on September 21, 2009, I got myself a birthday present: a 1993 Mack CF685F pumper. I'll post some photos, and periodically update the progress on this.



I found out that the rig was for sale when it was posted by Warren Jenkins here on Firepics in early September. A couple of days later, I was able to get in contact with the department. On September 14, my dad and I made the 6-hour trip to meet the department members and test drive the rig. Based on that visit, we went back 7 days later and got her.



This is a 1993 Mack CF685F. The die-hards out there will know that the last CF's were built in 1992 and delivered to Yonkers. My rig was originally built in 1972, but when it was refurbished in 1992/1993, Maryland DMV re-titled it as a 1993 model. From 1972 to 2002, this rig was operated by the Landover Hills VFD in Prince George's County, MD, and from 2002-2009, the Tower Hill #2 VFD in Luzerne Twp, Fayette County, PA ran this as Engine 39-1.



To start off, just a couple of shots that I took today. You'll notice that I'm working on lettering removal on the driver's side first. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> When complete, the rig will represent Landover Hills again.
