Thanks for sharing some great pictures! I sure like the look of Hudson's red Super.

Jim

There is a landscaper near me with a Finn Hydro Seeder and the amount of green carpet they can get down in just a couple of minutes is huge.

Jim

Weren't Hahn and Mack pretty tight in the construction of fire equipment?

Good Job!

Maybe get a nice big old Holmes 750/850 twin boom for the General?

There is a 1983 R model wiring diagram in the BMT Wiki section.

Click on Wiki in the toolbar and it had been posted in the antique truck information section and then head to page four.

Should get you in the right direction.

Jim

Oooops!

Suzie Q's?

A girl or a cupcake?

Ahhh, nevermind...

Jewell drivers always seem to be moving along no matter the load. Logs, chips, garbage, etc. are probably never late.

Jim

Is that Hendrickson on the spread rear suspension?

Jim

Are you on Craigslist looking for a Tilted Kilt outfit for home use?

Just a thought......

You will always be an antique truck owner. You're just between rides at the moment.

Excellent news!

Hope you have luck tracing the gremlin. Electrical stuff will test my patience.

Jim

Just like being there to help except we didn't get dirty!

Damn!

Memory says it should be on the drivers side of the block near the block to head joint (head gasket area) just above the generator.

Should be a machined pad where the numbers are stamped.

Jim

Bypass the dealer and call a good independent truck spring/suspension shop and see if there is a part in the Euclid parts system or comparable.

Once again, why can't the dealer look it up? The dealers always claim to want your business.......

PITA!!!

Guess he is off the Christmas card list.

Cab is the same but not the firewall section if I recall correctly.

One of the guys on the registry is missing one of the panels on his EHU. Are they the same as an EQU and I take it it's rare to find a truck with them?

That would have been something to see.

The hood side panels would be the same between the two models and a little tough to find.

Yeah, should have done the deal on the EEU. Wasn't even smart enough to take a picture.

Jim

A little goose neck trailer so you can move the backhoe around would be the ticket.

Should be saved but will have to do some fabrication work for the hood side panels which are missing and get after the bad floor which is causing the doors to sag.

Still kicking myself for not pursuing an EEU fire truck hose tender years ago.

Looks Fantastic!!!

Did you also find little Red Riding Hood out there in the woods?

If you already own the trucks and keep records for miles run plus the fuel receipts from other jobs, you can do the math and answer your own question.

Hmmm......no thanks.

Might have to sleep with those lights under your pillow for a week or so before putting them on the truck.
