bulldogboy Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 1950 model. There is only one 2 1/2" discharge on the right side for a total of three which usually, but not always, indicates a 750 GPM pump. Probably about a 200 gallon tank which was about right for that year. My department's "B" models had four 2 1/2" discharges but four were 750 GPM and one was 1,000 GPM. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

609albert Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 each 2 1/2 discharge rated at 250gpm ,so it appears to be a 750 gpm. my LS85 has a 400 gal poly tank that we put in to replace the steel 400 that had 40 holes in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 An 85 would be 750, 95 - 1000, 125 - 1250. Mack used model designations for the L's based on pump size and then provided an engine based on pump size. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!
