Quote:LaPlata, MD had this odd 1959 Mack B/Young 750 gpm pumper. Did Young build anymore apparatus on the B Mack chassis?
Quote:Scott, here's a pic of the same rig that was taken in 2009 (I believe) by Firepixer Ron Arnow. Notice his notes indicate this is a 1962 model with matching SN.
Confirming what Taylor G. said, my info from the Young delivery lists I have and is the only new Mack B chassis listed. That list only goes back to 1962 and the B came out in 1954, so that doesn't mean that Young didn't build one before the LaPlata rig. Young did rebody a 1960 B Mack from West Ridge #4 outside of Erie, PA in 1987.
This resurfaced at Maugansville's station for a time several years ago.Don't know where it was retrieved from, and don't know where it went...

Purchased and donated by the Mennonite community in 1966 1953 Ford F-600 1,000-Gallon Tanker. Retired from service in 1974.
Info taken from Maugansville website. It doesn't say were it went to after it was retired in 1974, but by looking at the pic Doc posted, if it wasnt scrapped it looks to be in good shape for a 53+ year old truck that was in the fire service.

I am interested in all of the equipment and apparatus used in fire fighting and ems service.
Scott: Great photos from Maryland on these vintage rigs. The Kentland Seagrave in post 1191 was a 1963 KB model pumper, one of the two twins that originally served as Engine's 331 and 332. When Station 46 opened one of these rigs was reassigned to Station 46 as Engine 462. Details on this unit and the Branchville Peter Pirsch follows:
