So the cataract hose company will own it, thats cool my fire company bought back our 1964 mack B model pumper back in 1996 from a farmer that had it out in westtown NY and have since had it restored and all fixed up (except the pump, but were workin' on it). I know TR54 had the same feeling my fire company had, we were all happy to see one of OUR trucks roll back into town never to leave again, to be ours forever.

Will the truck be in the parade on the 20th

Will the truck be in the parade on the 20th

Yes , that seems very likely.

The pumper is in fine shape and has appeared in events in Pennsylvania. The previous owner had magnetic signs on the hood.

Cataract will be lettering the truck when it arrives this weekend. If all goes well ,,,it will be at the Convention Parade.

Who did all the work on the 37 ?? Thanks.

[PCFD ENG58 1,085]

After looking at the photos , what you have is a "JUNIOR 400 SERIES" . It was made until 1938 with the lycoming inline 8 purchased by Amercan LA France for its smaller pumpers.

Will it be re-lettered, or are plans for it to stay blank for the time being?

Can an OFD E-97 member post an original picture of the ALF from the company files so we can see what it looked like "back in the day"
