1958 F.W.D.

What did you say?

The manuals may be available through the Mack museum. Send them the serial number and ask for copies of the factory file and any manuals they may have, which will be sent to you for free- however when you get them THOU SHALT SEND THEM A SUITABLE DONATION CHECK. (Dont be cheap.) There is an 8-10 week wait on requests. And as suggested, call the Oreland Mack Branch on Lorraine Ave. Howard is usually there during daytime and Daniel shows up a few days a week after 1600.

Post video of her lighting off!!!!!

Send an email with your serial number to Don Schumaker or give him a call, have the SN handy to give to him or whoever answers the phone, and request copies of your factory archives. There is a 6-8 week wait due to numerous requests and limited (volunteer) staffing. You will receive a very large and heavy box in the mail FOR FREE. When you do receive it, make sure you send them a donation check, and don't be cheap- you'll understand when you see what they send you.

Yup, if you are running internet explorer, if it's latest updates are not installed and don't correspond with the forum's software, it causes hiccups- or so I am told, use to happen to me here all the time. I have since switched to chrome, and have zero issues.

I find that running BMT on chrome works much better when posting links or pics.

Whats that small aluminum or stainless box thats to the left of the gauges?? Does not look factory...???

Mack are you running windows internet explorer?

My volunteer fire dept built a station 18 years ago and installed radiant floor heat at that time, and to this day it's still one of the best decisions made. If I ever build myself a shop you can damn well guarantee I will do the same thing. Spend the extra bucks and put insulation in the walls and ceiling. Even if you dont think you need it, do it anyways- insulation is cheap. You'll hold the heat in the winter and help to keep it cool in the summer. A good industrial air compressor, a couple'a heavy work benches (with a good sized grinder and a drill press) and a good sized parts washer are absolutely a necessity. As someone else said, be sure to incorporate some kind of heavy steel into the framing so that you can use chain or grip hoists to do heavy lifting. A bathroom with a shower and a deep/slop sink would be very nice to have, if you do incorporate plumbing make sure you put a washing machine into the plumbing calculations- then you wont annoy the wife when you wash the shop rags in the clothes washer/dryer in the house. (whistles innocently.....) An would be an office to do your paperwork, search the interwebs for pictures of Winfall Wimmim errrrr ahhhh I mean needed parts........making phone calls, a place to keep your manuals and books.......If I ever build a shop it's gonna have a second floor which will be for the no-wimmim allowed man-cave. Good to have: A good sized sandblasting/glass beading cabinet And, I wouldn't be doing my civic duty as a firefighter if I did not recommend that you install an NFPA-compliant sprinkler system. Protect yourself and your investments from fire!!!

And as a humorous post statement to her statement: There are more members of the NRA than total applicants to Nobamacare.

if you have to ask, you can't afford it!!!!!!

Yeah....Dyno Video or it never happened!!!!

The only thing sexier than those pics are pics of a Detroit with a rod through the block!!!!!

I am horny. That is all, carry on.

That's the left-handed smoke shifter.

Where at in the PNSY?? -Firefighter, PNSYFD Jan 1997-July 1998

Was not a vacant. Was an occupied 4-story Brownstone located in the heart of Back Bay. Initially dispatched as a fire in the basement.

IT IS WITH DEEP REGRET, That the City of Boston, Ma. Fire Department announces the line of duty deaths of Lieutenant Edward J. Walsh of Engine Company 33, and Firefighter Michael R. Kennedy, of Ladder Company 15; who gave their lives in the supreme sacrifice as a result of injuries sustained while operating at box 9-9-1579 (Beacon & Exeter Streets) at 298 Beacon Street. Godspeed to the fallen, their families and their coworkers.

Unconfirmed news reports at this time of two line of duty deaths.

The guy that has the Pumper doesn't have the cash to do a proper cosmetic restoration..........That's all I have to say about THAT.

I have been listening to the radio comms live. Engine Company 33 was trapped for a time and removed in a heroic effort by Rescue 1 and other companies. All member are accounted for at this time. One member transported in cardiac arrest. Does not sound good for him. All members removed from the building, in a defensive mode at this time, and the fourth floor has collapsed into the third floor. Boston Fire has instituted a recall of all off-duty members and multiple mutual aid companies are in the City of Boston manning BFD firehouses.

Remember, you have to go through Blue Ball to get to Intercourse and then Paradise!!!! And is that the bridge going over the ditch between the Chesapeake and the Delaware Bays?

Hey Hewy I don't know if you remember me or not but quite a few years ago my add in the Visiting Fireman said that I was a big Superpumper nut, and you were kind enough to call me out of the blue and spend some time on the phone with a teenage kid who was an up-and-coming FDNY buff and aspiring career firefighter!!!! I remember to this day and always appreciated your kindness!!!!

Another great one..........

Joe, the tillerman holds the wheel at the bottom, and turns the wheel in the direction you want the trailer to move. Tillering is an art form.....A good driver and tillerman can put a tiller (especially THAT one being so short) can put a tiller damn near anywhere. When the guys work together enough, they can read each other's minds. "Tillering 101" Any tiller wheel will have a notch or mark painted at 12'oclock (or whatever 12oclock is with the trailer steer axle pointed dead forwards....) Pick a center point on the tractor cab, like a marker light, a radio antenna, or the bubble gum machine- whatever you want to mark the center. The idea is to keep the trailer in line with the center of the tractor as much as possible. When the tractor makes a right-hand turn, the tillerman turns his wheels LEFT. Now here is where the marked wheel comes in- you HAVE to count the number of turns by quarters.....I sound it off out loud....."One fourth....One half.....three quarters...." Because when you bring the wheel back around, you MUST return it the exact precise number of turns, or else the trailer will be crab-legging and you could wipe out parked or moving cars in the lanes next to you. Rarely will you turn the wheel more than one full turn. Only in super tight turns and then rarely more than a full 1.5 turns. As said, when backing in, tillerman holds the wheel at the bottom, and moves the wheel in the direction he wants the trailer to move in. Here's a pretty good video of some tiller action while responding.......And a secret in the fire service- The Tillerman is the sexiest job, especially in the summer in a downtown section of a big city like Winfall, when the Winfall Wimmin are outside on their lunch breaks.
