damn, thats a New Orleans rig too...

its the old Rockville MD rescue

how many MC's did Palmetto have> i only have them with 1, a 1980

MC487F-1001

Engine 15A, Palmetto, GA (retired)

1982 Mack MC

1000/500

that is the motor serial #

can you post some photos of them? thanks!

interesting that this one isnt listed in the painters log. it has to be one of the first Waterfall grill Seagrave rigs built

if you can, please get a good clear pic of the pump panel data plate. thats an awesome catch you made!

there was someone that was selling blanks at one point. if you can find them you can get a number punch kit and make one yourself.

looking to buy a B model radiator shell, preferably Chrome, but will take a painted one too. I'm in Northern NJ let me know. thanks

not my photos, from my collection

the serial number is 45A-1020

numbers will obviously be different. which rig do you have?

whats the serial number of the rig?

there's another one of the St Louis R models for sale now on GovDeals.

its now owned by Tatamy PA. they want to put it back in service.

good luck with it!

I have 45S1101 as Stratford CT. u sure it was Stamford?

what department?

23 were built with the R487 motor designation as fire apparatus chassis. several others were also built either as pumpers or tankers using a commercial 487 chassis by an apparatus builder

Fleetwood is looking for theirs now for their anniversary next year. no luck so far. the one from Montrose was sold to Peach Bottom GA. my note says it was wrecked there, but you might want to confirm.

shots are from my collection

here are two shots I have of the rig, including the same one you posted. do you have the serial number of this one(as well as any of the L Models Santa Monica had)?

did you contact third district FC? they are good guys there, they will know who bought it.

did this go from Bloomingdale to Morristown, NJ? Morristown is the only ladder company I know called "Resolute" from back in the day.

I have been working on this deal for awhile now and it has been killing me to not share it with everyone here, but I finally closed the deal yesterday and brought home a 1925 AB3A chain drive fire chassis number 411835 originally delivered to Bloomingdale, NJ on August 31, 1925.

As you can see in the photos it still has the original chemical tanks and 99% of the other original items that are so often missing. The bell and moto-meter are missing in the pictures, but the previous owner says he has them and I should get them in the next couple of weeks.

it has been in storage for the last several years and the engine is partially disassembled. Just like my friend's AB the intake manifold is cracked and the water tubes that supply the heads are extensively corroded, so both will be headed to a shop for repairs shortly. After they get back I hope to get it to run long enough to assess the condition of the running gear and pump.The paint is basically shot and there is some rust damage from where it apparently sat outside or in a very leaky building.

I plan on doing a complete restoration of the truck. I'm pretty sure it will keep me amused for at least the next couple of years.

I am looking for a wheel for the truck as one of the existing wheels has quite a bit of rust damage if anyone knows where one is located.

oh, man. a rare Canadian Mack... ex-Regina, Sasketchewan. hope it didnt get cut up.

I was up at Aran Trading in Mass on Friday and David said he was scrapping some fire trucks. As a matter of fact one was leaving right now. C125F 1054. Really complete truck with no rust, just faded paint. Even had hoses and ladders. I bought some parts off of it before they drove off with it. I don't know why I didn't ask what it would take to buy it. I don't need it and it is far away. Maybe someone can get some good parts off of it if I hasn't been cut up yet. I couln't sleep that night. Mike
