Just a little info, there is a Seagrave Yahoo group. I am working a 1920 Seagrave myself. Ray

I was thinking that it was more likely the town of Lakehurst, N.J. then the Base. I know that one of the news clips of the disaster shows a rig as a silouette, I always thought it was a ALF, but couldn't find a Dept. with one that fit. Now this may be what is in the clip. Good luck with the restoation.

Could you tell me where in S.C.? I found a 1920 Seagrave fire truck in a barn near Adams Run, S.C. back last April, to keep my 1941 Mack 505 pumper compamy.

Fxfymn, sorry it took so long to get back to you. The A Model Mack that I posted is with the Spartanburg Fire Dept. and I have not seen it so the Reg. # could be off. I was told that it has been there since new. I will try to get more on her. Ray

#1 It should be a 707 engine if you sent the Vin.# to the Mack Museum, they will send you everything have about the Rig. #2 I would think if you leave the Rig in high range you should beable to run OK. That's my $.02 Ray

As said before thanks for your time and service. Firemack has you on the right track the Mack Museum was a great help to me, you may also want to check out www.spaamfaa.org ,they are a good place for help and parts for fire trucks. Good Luck with your Rig. Ray

I saw the rig on Ebay, I don't think It's that rare of a truck. I have a 1941 Model 505 which is also a 500gpm pumper. As for the price that is up to ones liking, looking at the pics you may bring the paint back to life, but he is not sure of the pump. To me $6 big ones is tops as she stands. That's my two cents. Good Luck, Ray

That a great looking 68 CF , I alway like the early CF's with just the bars across the front. When the rigs were rebuild they then had the full aluminum front. My Dept. in N.J. has a 1975 CF inservice with less than 15,000 on the gage. Best of luck with your Rig. Are you a member of SPAAMFAA ? Ray

Art, you are right there is a pic at the top of a Seagrave, and the other pics are of a Mack with a broken windshield and open fire pump under the seat. the Seagrave has a closed in pump. Also the paint is two different shades. Ray

I would say you should check & change the oil once you have turned the engine over with the booster reel crank handle. See if you have any water or antifreeze in the oil that you drained out. If this OK check for a good spark. For fuel use a separate gas can. I know this is not everything, but you should be able to get a good handle on it. Along with the words from Kenny. Ray

The Rig looks great, with some TLC you will have a very nice truck. If you need any help give a call. I see the hub caps missing due you have them? The truck looks like it is mainly all there. Best of luck. Ray

Mack Model 80
505 MACK replied to mattg's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
When you ask if there are more then two Model 80's, is that for the year 1939 or the run of the model? In the SPAAMFAA apparatus guide there are two 1939 models ,one in FL. and one in NH. and in other years there are some four more not adding Model 80-L or 80-LS. You may want to call the Mack Museum to get a better handle on this. Good Luck Ray -
Welcome to Bmt. Great to have another Fire Truck on board. Well you be talking it to the Harrisburg Muster in July? I always liked that Muster when we lived in N.J., but now that I am in S.C. it's a little too far to go . Good Luck with your Rig Ray

Hi Gary, I have been using 40W on my 1941 E Model for the passed 14 yrs., but not 5W-40W or 15W-40W. My engine is a CT 6, but that's just my pick of oil. Good Luck, Ray
-
Hi Tim, good to see you on board. I thing I saw that rig moving water on 4-4-09 ? (Ha,Ha) If you are looking for anything for the L Model give me a ring. Again great to have you out there. Ray

Stromberg Sf-4 24 22d Carburator
505 MACK replied to a topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
Best that I can tell you is at my 1941 Model 505 fire truck has a CT engine with a SF-4 cab. That is the most I know about it's us on a Mack, they were also used on American La France Type 400 V-12 engines (1932-1938). Check with the Mack Museum, but they may be backed up with a lot of other work, so it may take some time for them to get back to you. Best for now Tinman -
Glad to see you up on the forum site, also great handle. You said you were in need of Gold Bulldogs for the Mack, so it has a Maxadyne engine. Good Luck, Tinman

Chief C , I don't believe that 1962 Mack is a CF, it most likely is a C. Mack started making CF's in 1968-69. Ray , Ex Chief Fair Haven FD, NJ

You can sand blast it out and put a pick up truck bed liner paint or ges tank sealer on it. You can also get a replacement plastic tank. Tinman

Linmac, If you send the ser.# to the Mack Museum, they will in turn send you any info. they have about that rig. You should be able to find them at Mack.com. I think there is a link at this web site? Good Luck with your ,also you might want to take a look at SPAAMFAA.Org site it is for Fire Truck owners. Tinman ( Ray )
