kro10000 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Well a lot of Pike houses have them, although most don't actually run. If I remember right ours was donated to us from the Louisburg KS. fire dept. We've had ours for a while but I was just elected Fire Chief since I am an auto tech major. Anyway it means I get to drive the truck and maintain it. Learning to double-cluch this thing was interesting, but I've got it down now. Oh yeah and the PTO pumps work and everything, I just have gotta get the siren working. 6v horn on a 12v system doesnt work so well, it might be fried but it makes a little noise now, so I might have to rebuild it cause its an antique.
