very neat, I studied the photo closely then read the buy line and was set-back to see that it was in fact a model, it does look very real

are the rotors moving when you turn the engine over ? I think actual any coil might work to start temporary . also Macks work on a positive ground system

I had 900 x20 on my Mack fire truck , almost 2 years ago I also wanted to get rid of the split rims ,I had one rim that I know was really rusted and dangerous ,(my truck is a 54 yr) I switched to Dayton rims and 1100x 22.5 radial tires (Chinese). what a difference in the ride. If you can consider new rims too
-
I can see it as a Rat-rod ,nice cab
-
that is a 6 cyl flat head, sock filter?
-
Yes the guy that harry (above) said rebuilt both my 54 LS85 Mack units and he has the blades you need

I just changed tires and wheels on my 54 L model Mack fire truck , 1100 x 22.5 Dayton wheels & radials what a better ride.
-
yes the 2-12 volt batteries is the best way to go

Harvey Eckart has written a few great books on Mack fire apparatus with lots of great photos & info. Also Walter McCall did a book 'Fire Trucks of the 1950's.
The real giveaway that your mack was a fire truck is the bumper design.

looking at the pump panel there is a lever to engage the pump from Road to Pump, about the front fender right where it comes down toward the tire if it is rounded on the side I would say it was pre 50 ,if it is more straight I would say 50's . like said previously my # is 1709 . also with the wheel type I would guess it came from the west (budd type) as the spoke was more popular on the eastern states

the Hall -Scott where used for high pumping ability because a Mack engine in that time period was not large enough, used mostly on the west coast fire depts..
I HAVE A 1954 LS85 Mack 750 gpm pump but if a dept ordered a Hall -Scott because of the larger engine the hood is actually 11'' longer
