thanks for the help guys

the fuel pump on my 54 mack fire pumper seems like it stopped working today. had fueled up 3weeks ago tried to start today and no go ,disconnected line to carb and no flow , someone recommended removing and send to a guy in N.Y. to rebuild ,any comments ,also cautioned on installing by in to get the lever in the right position or you can damage it.

 anyone going to the spring melt in a few weeks?

by the looks of the R's you don't plow snow ,right

I agree with fxfymn that 5k would be a good #, let us know what happens, sometimes its an easy fix(sometimes).

Thanks for the info. I have the Mack book to check the specs.

my 1954 mack LS85 (fire truck) has what I would call excess play in steering wheel(over 2'') .new tie rod ends didn't help, Is their an adjustment on the steering box ? or is the box just worn , 44K miles

the guy that owns the Smith tractor also owns a Hahn pumper from Radnor Pa.   also pulls around the Radnor B model open cab.

Looks like an old Smith horse transport tractor pulling the lowboy

try matt phafls in connecutic

 

that would be so sad to remove the fire body, it has to be saved as a fire truck. I already have a open cab 'L' mack ,no fun driving in the rain

I use Conden & Scully  Moorestown ,n.j. they only do classic and antiques vehicles

 I know it's not a Mack ,craigs list in south jersey (Beverly) $4500. a friend looked at it and said it's all their.

how do I post a photo of my 'L' pumper on this site?

my e-mail is hinoki22@comcast.net  on the mack extinguisher

I needed a roof ladder to go with the wooden extension ladder, had a friend in the club make one of fir and with all the hardware. Still looking for a Mack extinguisher.

 try the Spring Melt in Allentown  and then Pump primers in Harrisburg  both in Pa.

glade to hear you got the mack back, now the fun begins

where do you purchase Frame Saver paint?

I hope it wasn't the chromed type diamond plate (it would be harder to do). I would try a small area using a Brillo pad (has soap in it to lube area)if it is just regular alum. dp.

how many gal.water tank and is it a 'T' type  tank ,any leaks?

the larger pumps had a Hall-Scott engine and the hood was 11'' longer to accomadate it

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.

never saw that show ,is it on history or discovery ?

Looks like Mack and ALF country ,GREAT
