CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING
Webmaster's Note: The "Wanted" section has been split into two parts, Wanted-Apparatus and Wanted-Parts, Accessories Etc. I am also in the process of rearranging the listings so that the ads are in descending order by date or the latest ads will be at the top of the category. The ANNOUNCEMENTS AND SERVICES section has been moved to it's own page, see below. I would also ask that anyone that has an ad running please advise if the ad is outdated and should be removed. Persons submitting an ad are asked to make sure that their "CAPS LOCK" is not on as receiving the ad in all capitals requires retyping to fit our format. This courtesy is appreciated. Images submitted should be as a jpeg attachment, not embedded in a document. Thanks.
We have been alerted to a felony that is being attempted on advertisers of apparatus on this web site and others. The advertiser receives an email similar to the actual text printed below:
"Dear Seller,
I'm interested in purchasing your advertised 1955 ALF Quint and the price $5900 is okay by me. I'm shipping it to cotonou Benin Republic in Africa and if I can pay with a cheque drawn in an America bank. If this is okay with you do get back to me immediately for me to arrange the payment. Concerning the shipment, my shipper will come and pick it up from you location as soon as we seal this transaction. A client of mine is owing me some fund in ($US9,600), I will instruct him to issue a cheque in your name and once the cheque clears, You will deduct the cost of the 1955 ALF Quint plus the tax and my balance will be send back to me via western union money transfer for immediate shipping arrangement. The reason for this is that it takes 3-5 days for a cheque to clear over there while it takes a longer time for a cheque to clear here. If this is okay with you do get back to me immediately with your full name, contact address and phone number for me to instruct my client to issue the cheque in your name. Thanks for your understanding in anticipation.
best regards,
Alan"
(all spelling and grammar errors as original)
This scam goes by various names but the basic operation is to furnish a bank check, the seller deposits the check, pays the excess to the perpetrator and gives the apparatus to his shipper. At a later time, the check comes back as no good or stolen and the seller is out the apparatus and the "excess money" that was sent to the perpetrator. The scam takes various guises but always has the same result.

FIRE APPARATUS FOR SALE
FOR SALE: Totally original 1953 Howe Defender fire truck. Complete, runs well including the pump assy. Comes with manuals and books, spare parts, etc. This vehicle has a 850CU Waukesha gasoline motor with dual carbs and dual ignition (magneto as well as distributor/points/coil). The motor also has the facility to be crank started! The low 6.- 1 compression and the magneto allows for easy crank starting, believe it or not! This rig needs little in the way of mechanicals but l would install a 12volt internally regulated alternator to sort out the wiring, flush the fuel and brake/trans/diff etc. This would be a very easy restoration for an enthusiast of these incredible vehicles. This rig runs and drives well and could be restored to original or converted into a fantastic hauler, tow vehicle or parade vehicle. l'm aware of the value of this fine truck as l've been contacted by many of the ardent vintage firetruck enthusiasts nationwide. l will not sell it for parts, l may trade or partial trade and anyone with information on the Howe Defender trucks is welcome to chime in with information.

FOR SALE: 1926 American Lafrance City Service Truck. Restored in the 90's or early 2000's then put into storage. I'm told it was pulled out once every year or two for parades. Truck when put away had just over 600 original miles. Pump should work but I would assume it may need new gaskets. Comes with everything shown in the pictures. The truck with the ladders on it is 41 feet long but if the longest ladder was removed it is 36 feet long. Runs and drives as it should with a small water pump leak (can be repaired easily and might be done next week). All fluids were just changed and truck has been greased. It is a very unique and rare truck, I just have too many and need some room. Also coming up for sale are a 38 Pirsch open cab, 41 Pirsch open cab, 48 Lafrance, 62 Mack, 68 Mack and a 76 Seagrave.

FOR SALE: 1942 Ford / Ward LaFrance pumper - US Army Corps of Engineers type WLFF6 with Waterous CA1 pump, along with a parts truck, a 1947 Ford cab/chassis. Some experts have told me the WLFF6 with CA1 pump is one of only 3 known to still exist in that combination. It will be an ambitious project for the right person due to years of exposure to the elements, but with a unique and worthwhile result. Here's what you get: The pumper has a restorable body and a good frame, bad engine, wheels, and cab, driveline condition unknown. The parts truck was put away in running condition about 5 years ago, so the Flathead V8 should be useable, and this truck will help with some cab and interior parts and also wheels and any driveline components needed, as it was roadworthy 5-6 years ago. Other accessory parts I have collected for the project will be included as well. I am short on time and space for projects, so these must go, saving me from a tough decision about possibly scrapping them. Hopefully they can be appreciated by the right person. Asking $1300 for the pair, call Dan at 518-585-9882 or 518-586-6081 (leave a message if no answer) for more details or photos, or e-mail dh447@nycap.rr.com (09/03/08--08-54)

FOR SALE: 1955 Maxim pumper originally from Schuyler Heights, NY. Cosmetically this truck is beautiful inside and out, ready to turn heads at any parade or show. Very little is needed to complete the cosmetic restoration. Truck was restored by a private owner about 10 years ago and taken to local shows, then parked indoors for the past several years. Nobody has attempted to start this truck in a few years, but it does turn over under its own ignition power (I didn't attempt to go further with starting it until it gets fresh gas, oil, etc.). No known mechanical issues at the time it was parked. Has original Hercules gas engine, typical low mileage. Includes 2 new batteries and some accessories in the compartments. The booster reel came separately, I will reattach it before truck sells. Sale does NOT include the bell or Federal Beacon, or the loose hoses in the bed, they have been saved for my other Maxim. Otherwise, truck is complete as shown. Asking $2900.

FOR SALE: 1925 Ahrens Fox Piston Pumper ORIGINAL.
This is the 1925 Ahrens Fox JS4 from Washington Courthouse Ohio. The truck still
wears its original paint, decoration, and brightwork; which to the advanced
collector; is like a time capsule. The seat was reupholstered in 1988 by Snyders
Auto Restoration in Mount Joy PA, done in leather and horse hair like it was
done originally. The paint has been preserved with a coat of automotive clear.
The gold leaf decoration is worn in spots and you can see the silver leaf under
the tinted varnish, which shows the age of a truck of this vintage. The pump was
rebuilt in 2002 with all new valves, leathers and bearings. All the wiring has
been replaced with the original style cloth-covered wire. It comes complete with
all equipment including the original Ahrens Fox extinguishers, hand lanterns,
one playpipe (Ahrens Fox), and three tips. The truck came with two play pipes
(see delivery photo), several other nozzles, original strainer, pikepole (not
Ahrens Fox), ladders, original hard suction (which we have used and pumped for
hours), original bell, siren, and searchlight, axes, and soft suction. The
Windshield (not on) was purchased from Ahrens Fox in 1937 and does come with the
truck. It also has its original commission plate for Washington Court House,
Ohio still mounted on the splash apron.
The engine received its HPOF (Historic Preservation of Original Features) at the
AACA meet in Moline IL in 2004. That show also won the truck the best prewar
HPOF vehicle of any shows that year, and was presented at the AACA National
meeting in Philadelphia PA. It also won best in class in 2005 at the Cranbrook
Concours in Michigan.
If you are looking for a shiny paint truck, this is not the truck for you. If
you are looking for a museum quality ORIGINAL truck that runs and pumps like the
day it was made, this is the truck for you. This is the nicest surviving piston
pumper. It is our hope that the next owner will cherish this truck for the piece
of fire and automotive history that it is, and continue the legacy of
care-taking that will preserve it for future generations to see. Fire engines
can be restored many times, but they’re only original once. Please contact Ryan

FOR SALE: A 1961 closed cab Seagrave and a 1971 Seagrave
open cab from the same department. They are in excellent condition. I would
really like to see both of these go to someone together but I will separate them
for the right price.
The 1961 has a Detroit 8v71 turbo engine and it was put in this truck in 1982.
It has air brakes and the total miles on the truck are 10,000 original miles. It
runs and drives without any problems. The body is in great shape (see photos).
Minor scratches and nicks on the paint, less than normal for a truck that was in
service for many years. I think the truck was repainted at some time in its
life. It was owned by Dravosburg Pa and was sold to Charleroi in 1982 I got it
about 2 years ago. It has a 1000gpm 2 stage pump that works great. It also
has a separate high pressure pump, but I have never used it. I think it works
but I don't know. It has a 600 gallon poly tank and a 20 gallon foam tank. It
has a foam system on it and on spot chains that were added several years ago. It
has a pre-piped water way for a deck gun. This truck is sold.
The 1971 open cab has 5,881 original miles. It has a Detroit 8v71 w/a very loud
jake brake with a switch that has high, low, and off. This one was bought
new by Charleroi in 1971. It has a 1000gpm 2 stage pump that works fine and it
also has a high pressure pump. I don't know if the high pressure pump works or
not. It has a poly tank 500 gallons but there is a hole in the bottom of the
tank that can be fixed. There are 2 crosslays under the booster reel hatch. The
body is in great shape with only a couple of minor problems. 1 - On the officers
side front fender, there is some bubbling of paint approx 2-3 inches, but there
is no rust through. 2 - On the front of the cab below the drivers side door,
there is a small rust crack. I believe this is like a compression crack and it
hasn't gotten any bigger in many years. This one also has some minor scratches
and nicks from normal use. Priced at $10,000.
All of the lights, sirens, air horns, signals, and spot lights work as they
should on both of the trucks. The tires on both of them are in very good shape
with lots of miles left on them. Both of the trucks come with ladders, 2 hard
sleeves each, the 1971 with a deck gun, 2 air packs on each, and some loose
equipment.
These are 2 very nice Seagraves - probably some of the nicest around. I really
hate to sell them but I need the space for another project. Trucks are
located in Stafford, Virginia.
I will answer all questions and if you need any more photos or information let
me know. dcfd470@comcast.net . Bill at

FOR SALE: 1946 Seagrave Open Cab Ladder Truck that my Dad purchased in 1984 from the Black River Falls, WI Fire Department. It was purchased because he said "my dad never got me a fire truck when I was little, so I bought my own when I grew up." This unit was used in many local parades, and was also used for social functions. The ladders served as a great canopy holder to make a shelter. This truck has been stored for the past ten years or so, and was taken out of storage this summer to once again be put in a local parade. The hydraulic ladder works fine. There is a small water tank on this truck, but we never attempted to use it, so we don't know if that part works or not. Many of the original wooden ladders are also included with this truck. The reason for selling it is that my father is no longer able to drive this vehicle himself. There is a lot of original paperwork included with this vehicle. One paper shows that the original purchase date was October 2, 1946. This unit is currently located in Ingram, WI. He is asking $7,500.00 OBO. Phone : 715-322-4417 Duane. (09/27/07)

FOR SALE: An 1863 Amoskeag steam pumper was in service
with Relief Company #9 of the Pittsburgh Fire Department. The Amoskeag
manufacturing company of Manchester, New Hampshire built this steamer bearing
the serial number 78. The frame resembles the shape of a harp; a single vertical
flywheel is mounted crosswise within the harp frame. The harp frame allowed the
steamer to turn sharp corners that straight frame steamers could not navigate.
The harp frame steamer is also extremely rare. Amoskeag Manufacturing only built
118 harp frame steamers. Only a few are known to exist. To the best of my
knowledge, this is the oldest privately held Amoskeag horse drawn steam pumper
in the world.
The history of this steam pumper started with Relief Company #9 of Pittsburgh in
1863. We do not know when it was pulled out of service or what happened to it
until Mr. Walter Knott acquired it in the mid 1960’s. We can only consider it a
miracle that such an amazing piece of craftsmanship did not go to the World War
II scrap drives as most steam fire engines did. The Amoskeag was on display at
Mr. Knott’s theme park “Knott’s Berry Farm” located in Buena Park, California.
Around 1978 the steamer was once more on the move, the park was expanding and
the steamer went into storage. The steamer was sold to an unidentified
individual. This individual sold the steamer in 1980 to Mr. Ken Freiberg of
Captain Ken’s Firehouse Foods in St. Paul, Minnesota. Ken used the steamer at
trade shows to promote his food products. In 1985, Ken loaned the Amoskeag
steamer to the Firefighters Memorial Museum in Minneapolis, MN. It sat on
display at the museum until 1989. In late 1989, the company wanted to restore
the steamer to its original glory and also have it once more, steam up and pump
water. The steamer was disassembled piece by piece. The steam and water pump
refurbished. The wheels, driver’s seat, suspension springs, and rear firebox
stand repainted and meticulously pinstriped using real gold leaf and mother of
pearl paint. The metal sent out for polishing and perfection. The boiler sent
for inspection and certification. Just before assembly was to start in late
1999, Ken’s restoration expert had an opportunity to start a new career and left
the project unassembled and unfinished. The company (Captain Ken’s Firehouse
Foods) was sold to the Traxler Brothers and Ken’s prized Amoskeag steamer laid
in hundreds or pieces in the back of the factory. The new owners of the company
reassembled the steamer for Ken. Unfortunately, Ken passed away in 2005 and was
not able to fulfill his dream of seeing the Amoskeag steam to life and
