MLFD3 the answer is NO! anytime the city starts to order from a sole source manufacturerer, that manufacturer goes outta business!!!!

[mlfd3]

The city has been buying Seagrave engines for years, haven't they? Isn't Seagrave still in business?

[red helmet]

seagrave is very much still in buisness, my co is going down in two weeks for the inprocess inspection of our new rearmount stick. this truck is very close to hempstead ladder 2. seagrave is the company that many large cities use, La,NY,Wash Dc, just to name a few.

[E255PKJSFFD]

South Farmingdale Engine Co. 2 (972) has a new rig in the process. Bids have not come back yet..........More to follow.........

the Mack trucks are some of the best trucks built for a few MAIN reasons...

early Macks...Pre like 1980ish were ALL Mack...

no half mack/ salsbury etc.

and mack makes there own motor..early Macks had a B series gas motor....then came the Thermodyne diesel, and the most popular Maxidyne engine.

these engines were built to do work. last forever, and can take a beating.

also mack made there own transmissions.

how great is it to have a truck...that IF it were to break down, you could take it to ONE place, and have them do EVERYTHING right there...not bring it there for a cabinet door not working...and the engine having problems...but having to wait for the Cummins Rep. to come take a look at it...

they faded out in FD design becuase they didnt want to make there popular CF cab an enclosed cab...

many if not all CF closed cabs are Retro-fitted by another company.

[You Dont Know About That?]

sorry i didnt know if that belonged here but i was answering the question...

also on the 75' Mack -Baker Booms...

the trucks could be Single Rear Axle rigs instead of the Tandems of today...

that could cut down on length and make it more maneuverable.

Westbury (968) had the last ALL Mack engine, it was MACK bumper to bumper. It was replaced by a KME.

....There are several other posts on here re:that rig.

[dawreckingstick]

good luck with them ---- insert (Ferrara's, Smeals, Seagraves, Pierces, Crimsons, Rescue1's, ALF's, Crowns-- etc.) should talk to depts that have them the service is good but the truck have fun

Amazing how a perfectly decent-FYI thread can be degraded by individuals who may be motivated by an agenda counter to just providing info for our bro's to decipher.

Good luck to all regardless of nameplate & Stay Safe.

Nothing official yet but I do believe there are rumors of Clen Cove taking a trip to spec out a KME Tiller

Going to Pierce March 19-21 to design striping and leafing on new EMFD 619 (RMAP). It will be painted on 3/11 and go onto chassis line on the 12th. Delivery is scheduled for mid April. It's a 100' rear mount aerial platform on a Velocity 84" cab. I will post pictures when I return.
