Old Harrison NY tiller

[CPAGE 2]

Found this on a fire site. This is an old Harrison FD ALF-400 Tiller that is now collector owned.

Neat find! Can any of the Harrison guys give us further information on this tiller, like make/model, when it served Harrison?

Also, I wonder if it still is in a collectors posssesion? The photo looks pretty old.

I'll try to found out some info...But I have a feeling that tiller was a little before my time.When I joined we had a tiller but it was nothing like that one.I'll do my best. I just found out the tiller that was here when I joined was a 1964 and we got it brand new so this one is goin back.I'll keep workin on it.

I talked to some of the career guy's they say it served Harrison in 1932 to about 1964-65 around there.

How old are the photos? The tiller has license plates on it, so I assume that it could move under its own power, no?

From what I was told those pic's are from 1980's and yes it did drive on it's own power. The guy in the pic's and his wife drove it home (he had the tiller seat). Dino see if you can ask Pat M. he has old pic's and lots of history.

The pic's I E-mailed seth one was takin in 1951 not sure about the other one. I couldn't post for some reason. Chris you'll remember one pic,it has eddie little john in it he looks like he's about 20.

Dino this is the guy who now has the truck and some info he provide. Do you have any old pic's from when it was in service maybe someone has some if you do please send a copy to the new owner as he is looking to restore the truck

ALF Truck #7785 is resting comfortably in my hangar in Spring City, TN. I bought

it from the guy in Canton several years ago, and shipped it here.

Drove

it a couple of times (what a blast!), and have since stored it until I

have time to restore. There's a picture of us backing it onto the

trailer for shipping at http://www.joistdesign.com/firetruck.jpg

That's

me driving tiller.

Feel free to pass this on to the previous owners. I'd love to get any

additional information or pictures they might have, and they're welcome

to visit or contact me.
