1958 F.W.D.

I cannot believe that was designed like that.......My vote is someone goofed and ran with it and added the teflon....

bullhusk, my thoughts are with you and your family. -Yardo

It is absolutely CRITICAL to run non-ethanol gasoline in your antique **ESPECIALLY if it sits for long periods of time** Corn gas ate a hole in the diaphragm of the mechanical pump on my Waukesha. Cannot find parts anymore. Had to install an electric pump. I am fortunate in that I have a non-ethanol/special fuels station 10 miles from me and I can get 87 Octane non-eth straight out of a pump, right now it is about $2.89 a gallon. I also add StarTron or StaBil to it for extra insurance. In the summer, when I go to a lot of shows, I will add corn gas in small quantities if I cannot get over to the non eth place. Some people run AvGas or racing fuels, I will not, I am convinced this runs too hot and will burn valves in older stuff. Here is a good website to find non-eth fuels: www.pure-gas.org On a side note: I switched all of my small engines to non-eth 2 years ago. The difference in performance is DAY AND NIGHT. The smaller the engine, the better it runs on non-eth....My string trimmer and hand held blower became BEASTS when I switched.

Crap had I known about that I would have taken a look. I work in Chalfont.

Carl, I wish I had a dime for every time I heard that Pierce, E-One or Seagrave was "in financial trouble." Right now the grapevine has Seagrave as terminal, on life support with a DNR order. This is the 5th or 6th time in the last 15 years this rumor has been generated. Yet Seagrave is delivering truck after truck.......... And if you are not aware, E-One was purchased a little less than a year ago by the REV Group, who also owns KME and just recently (within the last 3 weeks) the purchased Ferrara. And yes, as General Ike says, E-One has plenty of work and isn't going anywhere.

Wow. If at all possible you guys need to bring this to the ATCA Annual Father's Day Truck Show (the largest annual truck show) in Macungie Pa. and if not to Macungie then to the Mack Trucks Historical Museum "TRUCKTOBERFEST!" on October 21.

HI! I'm Steve the Stormtrooper. I don't go offroad often when I am fighting fire, but when I do, I use an F.W.D. This message is brought to you by Century Wreckers, Warn Winches and Westmont Chain and Wire Rope Supply.

That stack is for the 3406B that runs the power steering pump

Went out to dinner tonight with SWMBO. While we were out, she wanted to stop into Hobby Lobby "for a few minutes" (which translates into no less than one hour and no more than three.) So just when I was about to grab a knitting needle and stab myself through the heart, I saw an aisle of models and modeling stuff out of the corner of my eye. I was SAVED!!! I remembered this thread and took these pics- all available at the Hobby Lobby on 248 just off 22 in Easton Pa.

AWESOME!!! I have been looking for one or two of these so that I could kitbash with one of the American Lafrance 1/25th bodies.....And as an added bonus, I can have a Maxidyne engine and melt the 1/25th green leaker into a puddle of goo.

Yup I remember having them in a propane grill myself.

You're fired.

Why didn't you stop and get pictures of the fire trucks in that one picture?

That's not how Socialism is supposed to work! They're not doing it right!

What language is this?

Chatted with OD little earlier tonight by text message. He was about an hour short of Amarillo. He's testing out local barbeque and bought some bottles of sauce to bring home and conduct scientific testing with. He also promises lots of women-in-car I mean scenic landscape pictures. He did get a return load lined up already- Albequerque to Hagerstown Md.

Enjoy the trip, please take a lot of pics! I have not been west of the Mississippi River since 1993.

No but almost as oily and greasy

I had a few more crappy stupid interesting and exciting pictures loaded up but I dunno what happened to them, try again tomorrow, too tired.

I saw an orange car I saw an orange big Mack Truck I saw the back of Large's head- he was laying on the floor under the Hahn- the firetruck with the Green Leaker that is actually a Red Leaker because it is painted red, although you would never know it because it is actually straight weight 40 oil brown/black because it leaks all over the place......Large was laying under the truck helping his grandfather fix the speedometer cable when he accidentally laid his head on the floor........That's not water in his hair and I made him scrub his head with the dishwash soap a couple of times before he used the shampoo........

Canadian? Is that like Canukian?

Considering it's only about 15 minutes from the house, yes I usually pay my $5.00 and wander around once or twice. Sometimes I buy some goodies, sometimes not. But we ALWAYS go to the Ritz for the best milkshakes on the planet earth!!!

Greetings and Salutations, Comrade! Good to see you well. How is Illiya doing, he should be all healed up by now I hope?? Any plans to come back to the USA anytime soon?

Toby: I am told that there is a white FWD Open-Cab firetruck that comes to your show. It is marked "New Hanover Fire Co" from Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Do you know the truck? It was donated to New Hanover second hand by the Horsham Fire Company, also of Montgomery County Pa. Horsham would love to have the truck back......
