joes mack

they paid $5,000 for it. there is a radio compartment beside the pump pannel that has about 10 dif fire depts listed ill try and get a pic of it but i would bet its orig from Nj. the other department that had it is only 4 miles away and they had it for about 5/6 years and they have the sister truck to it but it is about 3 feet shorter it dont have the extended front bumper and the rear over hang is a little shorter.

sorry i thought it said millington

i guess ill have to post each pic

its showing the attachments and the pic numbers but no pics

here are a few pics here is one of the rust spots and heres the other

didnt they say the mayor was in a relationship with the guys mother the guy will prob plead insanity and get out of it

just got finished with the truck and may have found the batt drain prob. the master switch is loose and dont think it is disconnecting all the time. with it off you can barely bump it and the interior lights will come on and when you barely touch it again they will go out . it does have a waterious pump. man its strange driving it the steering wheel feels like you are going to reach through the windshield when turning but it runs really good and i might like it if i could get used to the auto. i kept trying to mash the clutch and couldnt find it that was funny. ill try and get some pics tomorrow and see if i canget them on here.

yup

ok thanks the truck is suposed to be here any min they are bringing it at 6pm so we can stsrt out fiting it .

all 4 batts are new but that dont mean much as could be a bad one. i just got back from checking truck out and i think you might be right about the draw they have 6 lights (hand held) siting in the chargers and the lights are direct connected the batts they are taking the lights and chargers out for their new truck right now so hopefully that might be the prob. the truck is a 87 cf600 1000gal tank 1250 gpm pump lots of storage and a 10,000 watt onan genn on it. its a good truck and we have fought fire with it several times as mutial aid as it belonged to a neighboring fire dept the truck was refurbed in 98 with a new body all alum only has a little rust in the floors of the 2 jump seats but that can be easily fixed with new tread plate. the truck is suposed to be delivered tonite and i will try to get some pics. the horn button has custom built for millington F.D. on it but dont know which millington. where is the ser# on the frame located the door tag is missing id like to get the mack museum to send the info on this truck.

i just got informed that the department im on just bought a cf 600 truck today. but there is a small prob with the truck they said sometimes it will start just fine for 2/3 days at a time and the next day you might have to put a charger on it to start it. does it sound like it is the alt going bad or mabey the starter. i told them that the truck should have dual starters from the other trucks ive looked at but the chief from the dept we got it from says he dont know if it has or not but it has two buttons a/b and that they only use the a button. we had a truck that cranked slow and would do the same thing before we changed the starter and that fixed the prob but i dont know much about the mack thanks for any and all info joe

i know of a company here in ky that more than likely can have the heads fixed they may even have some we use them all the time for the older equipment and there alot cheaper on there reman stuff than cat or mack reman weve got a set of there heads on a 3408 cat in a 988 loader that have been on for 4/5 years and no problems. the company is centrial automotive in corbin ky there number is (606) 528 4180 ask for david marrs (i think that is his last name) he knows a lot about the older stuff they might even have a crank for the other engine

i hope they used the same sound over and over if not that guy is good shifting with both hands on the wheel

where are you located

the title is snakeman of appaliacha its on thursdays at 9 . leversole might know him too. verlin ray is from whitesburg ky not far from where leversole was raised. yea randy im famous around here if you dont believe me just ask my wife she will tell you im famous for siting on my butt , not finishing any projects i start , and a few other things but the thing im most famous for is pissing her off just for the fun of it..

just got done watching animal planets appalachian snakeman staring a friend of mine and his family. i knew that he had done films for studies with them back in 05 and 09 but the one they showed tonight was filmed in 11 i have a copy of the other two but not this one i guess ill have to give him a call and get a copy of the new one. its just crazy seeing some one you worked with getting a break that might make them famous. mabey i might be next..

how much you gona pay might just come and drive for you we still havent got started yet but hopefully we will soon.

thats going to the front slack adj the old style park brakes were mounted on the inside of the frame and had a rod from the spring brakes to a z bar mounted through the frame and rod to slacks with a floating clevis for when aplying service brakes.

those yellow R models aint 80 models they might be 70 they have the steel dash and the old time inboard park brakes like leversole was wanting pics of but i couldint get mine to post the pics of mine.

my dragster is chevy powered (350+.60) and it does good but if i could afford it i would build a dodge engine for it. and for the new cars the challenger is by far the best looking of the three and the mustang next and last and least the camaro its just butt ugly.
