Quote:Is there a catch to it? Yep - the Squrt's hydraulic system doesn't work. There's a lot more to the story (no, it wasn't anything the FD did), but with my dad's mechanical engineering background, we hope to have a solution by the end of the summer that will allow the aerial to extend and elevate, but probably not rotate.
Syracuse has had dozens of TeleSqurts over the years . . . I'm pretty sure I can dig up an extra factory service & parts manual if you think it might be helpful.
