Popular Post j hancock Posted June 14, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2017 Took this picture of the Swanzey Center Granite tanker which replaced the 1962 B tanker back around 2012 or so. 5 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

fxfymn Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I believe the B model was purchased by someone in GB for $20K and took a direct boat ride from NH to GB. I am impressed that Swanzey Center could find drivers for the B model that was equipped with a quadraplex. Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

j hancock Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 It did go to England and the new owner was on this forum but I haven't seen him visit in a while. At the end of its service, there were two dept. personnel that could handle mixing the sticks on the quad box. Here is a side view. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

bulldogboy Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I'm impressed, also. I've never driven anything with that type of transmission but I can imagine that it's quite a handful travelling the narrow roads of southern NH and northern MA, especially if you're doing a tanker shuttle. All the "B" model fire trucks that I drove had a five speed transmission, that was enough for me. In any event, that Swanzey tanker is a beauty. bulldogboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
