Popular Post bulldogboy Posted June 4, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2014 This Mack "RD" fire tanker is sitting next to U.S. 1 in New Hampshire. Looks too new and in too good a condition not to be in service anymore. Must be more to the story. bulldogboy 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stacksuperdog Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hmmmm. My town is looking for a tanker. And our public works is all mack might as well get one for a fire truck 1 Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstaples Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The Tanker was Peterborough NH, it got hit HARD in the left front corner by a drunk driver while returning from a fire. Insurance wouldn't total it and wouldn't put rails in it. May be worth looking at but I don't believe it drives straight. If anyone is interested I can get the inside scoop.

bulldogboy Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 cstaples; Thanks for the info. Ironically, Peterborough, NH's previous tanker, a Mack "R" model, was also severely damaged in an accident with a propane truck in 1997. While responding mutual aid to Rindge, NH the tanker collided with a propane truck at the intersection of Rtes. 202 and 124 in Jaffrey, NH causing the propane truck to roll over into a building. Fortunately, there was no explosion. I believe that the propane truck driver was cited for not yielding to fire apparatus. bulldogboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fifth wheel Posted July 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2014 This R model completely redone front to back to new condition. Owner has this truck since the 80's, nice AC setup, condenser out front, and unit under riders seat. 88 RW glider, E6 power, eatons on Hendrickson springs, stopped just long enough to fix tire problem.

Popular Post Mike Blais Posted August 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2014 This is my friends' R model. I can't think of the year or specs. It has the 6 speed lo hole, he changed over to single stick air shift. I'm one the few people he's let drive it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ws721 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 What? Where are the N.H. cabovers? Barney has let few people drive his 81 R model 300 6 spd. The only Mack around that is slower going to Pa than mine. Truck is in very nice shape. 1 Quote Remember if it's got a hood it's no good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Nashua, NH Public Works Department runs a fleet of these Mack "LE" CNG powered recycling and rubbish trucks. This particular one is a recycling truck; others are side loading rubbish packers. There is also an "MR" CNG front loader rubbish truck. In addition to the Macks, there are also CNG powered Freightliner rear loader rubbish trucks. The City of Nashua has invested greatly in CNG powered and hybrid vehicles for its municipal fleet. bulldogboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haybag Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The red B was originally a B68 I believe with a gas job fire truck chassis. My dad bought it in the 70's and put a new dump body on it. I rode in it as a kid. My dad sold it to the current owner. Has 237,6spd, power steering, neat truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldogboy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Haybag (appropriate NH user name!): Do you know what fire department that "B" model came from? Mack "B" fire trucks were: "B-75", "B-85", "B-95", and "B-125" models. If that is a "B-68" it must have been a commercial chassis converted to a fire truck. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bulldogboy Posted December 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2014 The Hancock, NH Fire Department proudly showing off their apparatus: a mid 1930s Ford, a 1941 Mack "Type 45", and a 1945 Mack "Type 45". The '45 Mack is still owned by the Hancock department. It was rare to see Mack fire trucks in small New Hampshire fire departments at that time. Macks were used in the larger cities such as Concord and Manchester. Small towns, if they had fire departments at all, used Fords, Chevys, and other commercial chassis for their fire trucks.

Haybag Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I don't know which Fire Dept it came from,I don't think my Dad got it directly from them. I was too young,maybe 4 or 5 when he got it . I could have the story wrong,but I seem to remember it being a fire dept truck of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
