found out yesterday the Weston VT. R sold for $8000. the guy is going to make a dump truck out of it ,what a CRIME

I predicted that it was gonna sell for around there and be turned into something else ,what a shame

Another trick to take out the oil is baby powder, used that on plenty of old CAT dozer clutches,get a big jug of baby powder and have at it

They were gonna do that,,,but they sold it

If you can't find any plates at all,,,look for an old registration card ,,,,or contact Rockville Fire co, they are the original owners

Has Santa Claus made his delivery?

My dad used to drive a b42 , he hated it,,, the stories he tells about it crappy

power

Since when does a b42 have a curved cab?

There is some trick you can do ,u send the bill of sale to some place in Nevada , then somehow they send you a Nevada title, then you can go to penndot,,,I guess google it that would work

They slid the script emblem to the front of the hood to make room for the fire co name

Is the old trick I heard about true? If you have a stuck valve you take and dump transmission fluid down the carb while the motor is running to unstick it?

I also called about this truck ,was gonna bid ,,but then I seen a bunch of people run it up at the end and it was a lil outta my range ,and boy that chief likes to talk ,great guy to talk to,and Al thanks for the compliment on my R , took it to pump primers in Harrisburg and got first place for fastest water with it

Thanks, it's been in sea isle city it's whole life until April when we got it on govdeals,only 11000 miles on it ,and they told me it's really never been out of sea isle except for when they would take it to the parade in wildwood once in awhile,it was a rarely seen truck , I've had a few people tell me that they have been going to sea isle all of their lives and never seen it,since I've gotten I have taken it all over the place , woodstown muster, cooper river muster , mack show at gerharts and the muster in York , pa,runs fine ,but I guess since they ran it around in floods when it was in service the rear brakes like to hang up ,this winters project is to pull them off and check them out

This is my R model pumper, it has a scania engine in it, just wondering how many pampers were made with scanias

Is this truck and the aerial scope still available?,what is a phone number that I can reach you at?

the best and easiest way I found to polish neglected alum diamond plate the airway wheels by Zephyr,look up "tonys metal art" on youtube , he has a lil vid on there of diamond plate polishing

check out the serial number

Wow!!! but then, it's probably a lot nicer than my cement mixer-i'll sell that for only $43,000.

special deal for BMT members-a mere $33,000.

there was a b75 at the steffy collection auction in lititz pa about a month or so ago and it sold for 15000,,,it was in pretty decent shape,im assuming that this truck was completely taken apart and redone to bring 53000,,that or there were 2 hard headed bidders

According to a post on the ATHS forum,the B-75 brought $53,000.No mention of the B-61 as of yet.

5300?,,,or 53000? if it was 53000, i would have never expected that,,,thanx for the info

i was wondering how much the b75 and b61 brought at the l&h trucking auction on nov19
