Thanks for the response, 52 vff, and santerre. Yes, that Seagrave has the more sensible hand brake location.So, the 52, the fire truck is certainly great looking. Is it owned by a fire company?
I’m feeling a little ashamed of dismantling the fire equipment, but have thought it through, and as no one has, after many years , been interested in restoring it, I don’t think it will happen. Very expensive proposition, to restore all that antiquated pumping machinery etc.
The fact the truck itself is in such good shape was the clincher for me, after watching it for sale for some time. I went in person last winter to see if it was in the shape it looked like. It was. I’ve washed the cab inside and it really looks practically brand new!
I hate to sit on the seat!
It is, by the way, a Howe, with a Waterous pump.
