Mark I'd like to see what condition the seagrave is in , if you got pics

Thats great, Use them while you can, and document everything you do, filter numbers, part numbers, and dates you did the work. Put a photo book together

Also The Hudson River State Hospital ID was 85 not in the 90s

1950 Medium Mack Red is a nice color, and I know were you can get it

Well thats good news, I am here to help in anyway I can. Do me a favor DON'T paint it blue LOL

The old EFFD truck was sold for scap $4500.00 go for it

The old East Fishkill rig was sold for scrap this summer, it is sitting at Effron's junkyard on Smith St. The main gears in the turn table went

Mark have him sign it over to the Explorer Post and I will explain the rest

you can go to myspace/agoodjake and see also there were pictures of it here on this site back in July

That would be great, I have only a few things left to do and Iam done, but could always use extra parts. Also my Explorer Post has restored back to working condition a 1955 700 series ALF 85' Ladder. We are missing 1 pompier ladder and mounting brackets. Thanks, Craig

And as you know Iam working on a place to store and show her

There this rig located. Iam still looking for parts to finish mine, I am restoring a 700 in memory of FDNY Fighter Paul Tegtmeier

The Hyde Park location is fine To!!!!! You spoke to Jan I heard LOL I will help you all I can

Keep pushing, thats how we ended up with the ladder truck

As for tracking the county doesn't track anything, they pole for the nearest police unit. they dispatch the proper fire district and whatever ALS company the town, village or fire district has agreements with. asking where they are responding from is not tracking. putting gps units in all police cars and ambulances is the only way to track the NEAREST unit.

Mark if had a bigger garage or any, I'd restore everything I could, Jan may not like it . LOL

What a concept the county 911 center tracks all the ALS units and sends the closest one "WOW" And because they are tracking, they know what part of the county they need to back fill or move up units "WOW" What frigging great concept OOPs I just woke up

It sounds like the time has come " Can we say County Wide EMS "

I forgot to ask hows the glass, and we could get some stuff off of the old 226. Plus I like the bumper better red, as for your blue, you could paint all your hand tools ( Giants Blue ) heeee Iam here for you brother

Mark, I am sure Jan would let me park it here. " NOT" but in the yard someplace. The lack of chrome is a good thing, when it comes to restoring. Most engine parts you will find at Prudents Auto parts, the electric is easy to redo and the rest is sanding and painting, I have some extra lights and and wire for the siren. The seats and cab liner a guys down the road from me restores cars and can do it, The brakes and tires will be the hardest, believe me. Al has this stuff what will loosen anything up We are here to help and will have a place for you to display it

I was wondering when someone was going to mention that, The city still has a volunteer.

Mark, between our 2 Explorer Posts we should be able to clean her up good. As you know, I've kind of done this before. So any help I can gave let me know
