    I think I have seen this one before- if it is one in the same, it is an ex-FDNY rig and is only geared to do top speed 43mph +/-

    Nope, not even then. If I arrive at the station and I'm going to be the D/O I will start the rig, then go grab the printout, check the map for two hydrants, then go get my gear and stow it on board, then climb in and wait for everyone else. If I am on a duty night, the rig was already checked out and is warm.

    I don't give a horses fart if it's gasoline, diesel or propane powered....Or a lawn mower, my pickup, my antique firetruck or a locomotive.......I have been taught to start it, let it idle for a minute or two (the colder it is outside, the longer) in order to get the crankcase lube warmed up just a bit and establish and maintain the oil pressure.......And then let it rip. The only exception is any 2-stroke green leaker- start it up and floor it to the firewall. But drain the crankcase oil all out first.

    The only customer they have taken out a restraining order on- he cannot go within 100 yards of the building

    Doug when my buddies found out ES was a girl, they all asked me if I was gonna do the stereotypical cleaning of the guns when the dates come to get her. I replied "Nope. Gonna let the three big brothers have fun and I'm going to sit back and enjoy the show."

    Karl, the brush breakers in the Pine Barrens of NJ weren't quite as "radical" as the ones on Cape Cod. There were a few deuce and a halfs (which came from Ft Dix excess property most of the time) and they were beefed up a bit but never as heavy duty as the cape units.

    Just wanted to say that Ray has now hauled Fire Department/Municipally owned modern equipment **OR** Privately owned antique firetrucks for FOUR people after I recommended him to them for their long distance transportation needs. Each and every one of them had nothing but good things to say about him and were very happy with his service. I highly recommend him for any truck transportation needs.

    They have 27 trucks between that building, the building out back, and the open courtyard in the middle. There are also a few trucks stashed at another location. That American Lafrance Pioneer with Pittsburgh on the door is a tiller and has a BIG Cummapart in it with an automatic.....And the thing flies like the wind, I have driven both ends. The old man is a Captain on Ladder 1 in Camden City, and the kid who bought the truck is destined to become a Camden County Cop or a NJ State Trooper. They are a great family and our families have been friends forever- the old man is godfather to "Small" and was also my best man in my wedding.

    I dated a teacher once....Picked her up when doing a Fire Prevention Program at the school she was teaching at. I liked her, whenever I did something wrong, she made me do it over again.

    The more this plays out, the more it looks as if I am innocent of the allegations thrown at me.

    Hayward truck, very commonly built with larger engines. Roadway did indeed have a bunch but they were Allentown trucks if I remember correctly, Roadway was one of very few buyers who were able to get something other than Mack power out of Allentown.

    I absolutely concur that it's most likely a Cape Cod Brush Breaker.

    Happy Birthday Ron!!!! Listen, I know that you were having some difficulty getting around the quagmire last weekend, so me and Yarnall and Doug and some of the other boys scraped together a few bucks, got a few cases of beer errr ahhh I mean grape kool aid, one of those mobility scooter things like you already have, and we did some scavenging of our spare parts bins. After much loud arguing contemplation and sharing of ideas, we lit up the arc welder and chewed a lot of bubble gum. You won't be having any more problems getting around MUDcungie. By the way, DO NOT EVER PRESS THE RED BUTTON.
