The fact you said that you would be willing to donate it to a small town if you knew it was 100% safe meant a lot to me. It’s totally understandable why in good conscience you can’t.
It would have to be certified before it can be used by a fire company.😊

@@frankwarholicsr6686 When The ladder got stuck up in the air, how come it didn’t come down ?
Your fire truck would make a good bellbord truck for advertising. Ladder up with a big flag advertising. 👍👍
Now Kevin needs a Santa 🎅 Suit and ride on the fire truck through towns Waving to all the children HO HO HO 😂🤔😲
The Pierce Arrow with a good ol' 6v92 is like music to my ears.
This whole road trip with the ladder truck feels like a high school outing with the boys! Lifes short glad you're having some fun!
Back in about 1974, the Quad City Fire Dept. on the Iowa/Illinois came down to southeast IL to pick up a surplus Snorkel firetruck. The clutch cylinder leaked down on it and their driver did not have the airbrakes released when that big diesel engine engaged and twisted a U-Joint into pieces. We pulled it up to our dealership and located a driveline company down in the bottom of Indiana that could rebuild the shaft. Being it was going to take a few days we worked out a deal where I would deliver it on a Saturday to the Coal City FD. We left on a Thursday and stopped to visit an old friend in Rantoul, IL. When we were passing the main gate of Chanute AFB the clutch decided not to disengage and we were stuck in the middle of the entrance. After spending the night at our friend's house we got back on the road.
Like your truck, we were grossly overloaded on the rear axles and there was a weigh station on I-74 west of Bloomington, IL. Having hauled many pieces of heavy equipment from Peoria I knew that we could go north from Bloomington to El Paso, IL, and take 24 west to the north side of Peoria. When we were close to Peoria we had to pass through Washington, IL. We got to the east side of Washington and a cop saw us. He immediately turned around passed us, turned his red lights on, and motioned for us to follow. We did. We would have loved to see his face when we got to the west side of Washington and he pulled over and let us travel on. On the side of the snorkel boom, it said in big letters "JOB CORPS, POLAND SPRINGS, MAINE."
I’m beginning to understand why Mrs. C says she worries about her “boys” when you and Kevin are on a road trip!! I love the outcome I have to say!! Great video guys!! Thanks
🤦♀️🤦♀️ it’s a constant worry 😂😂
Operated an identical model many years back!
You set the outriggers at the pump panel. The slide out step at the pump panel is for the operator to stand on in the event the ladder is energized by Live wires!
Also I noticed the skid plates for the outriggers are missing.
You guys are hilarious, keep sending them great videos!!
looks like it's missing the bucket too
@@Commissar0617not every rig for a bucket, my dept does not have ine
it looked like its got a mount for one @@fireexplorermichael
@@Commissar0617 alr maybe there was but if there is a mount and the bucket is missing prob why they sold it
Well, atleast we know there's a 850 dozer video in the near future 😂😂
I was so confused, I started to watch the 850 video, clicked away and then couldn't find it in my history
@@billtheunjust I watched it all but it wouldn’t let me thumbs up the video. It had 570 likes and I hit the button but it wouldn’t change the number. I then left a comment and it wouldn’t leave it on the video. Lol it was crazy. But I watched until the end. He said there would be another part. 🤷♂️
Thanks for the two fer Tuesday. 😂
I was trying to watch it dozer video and it disappear and the fire truck showed up
I was watching it and made it halfway through, wanted to finish it tonight, now it's gone😳
Firetrucks have the BEST air horn!
grover stuttertone, nothing else like it.
Would be handy for putting up the Christmas lights on the house!
Probably the only way to get me hanging lights on the roof or gutters.
I remember in firefighter training the instructor would put the ladder truck all the way out in the middle of the parking lot and we had to climb it.
We had to climb to the to and lock in with a leg lock let go and lean backwards. That was to pass fire training school lawd have mercy 😅
Pierce is quality. The Detroit is a bonus. Try climbing it with a 20 lbs on your back and when you get to the top you lean back and look straight-up. That’s fun.
So glad that Kevin has his Harbor Freight measuring tape on the dash!!!!
Kevin's laugh. He's like a giddy kid with a new toy. Excellent. Made me smile 😊
Both that way. Good they were serious enough (not sure) to drive that big machine.
Every kid loves a firetruck no matter their age and this video proves it. All made for a great video bro. Safe travels. Ken.
If not already mentioned, Pierce is a Oshkosh company. That is a Smeal aerial, Pierce tried to buy them out. When they refused, Pierce reversed engineered their aerials making enough changes to avoid trademark issues and now builds their own aerial. The windshields are from a Ford CL9000 cabover tractor. Pierce also had a deal with Detroit Diesel.
Huh. I worked for Smeal when this was made. Pierce did not try to buy Smeal. Smeal produced a newer product and offered it to Pierce in the form of an 85' aerial platform. Pierce already had a platform supplier and declined to buy it so Smeal went national, first introducing the 85' aerial platform at the Baltimore Firehouse Expo and then following it up with a 100' platform as well as an entire line of aerial ladders on their "excalibur" design. During this period, we still sold aerials to Pierce as they internally developed their aerial products. It could have been an acrimonious relationship but, Smeal continued to supply Pierce with products and support for everything we supplied Pierce. Which really pissed off Smeal Dealers who lobbied heavily for the parts sales to go through them. But, Donald Smeal had given his word to Pierce that he would do so and that was that. I personally heard Delwin Smeal, the president, tell one of the dealers that if he expected the company to "make my dad a liar", he was selling the wrong product because that was not how Smeals do business. This was all long before Oshkosh owned Pierce as it happened in the early '90s. Smeal was eventually bought by Spartan on their second try. Their first try to buy by Spartan ended because John Sztykiel turned out to be as much of a putz as the afore mentioned dealer.
@@jamesford7182 it’s all RevGroup now.
Pierce still does we have modern Pierce towers that have DD15s but sole of our older ones have Cummins ISMs
Two episodes on the same day what a treat 😁
I will still thumb it up on friday!
Came for the firetruck, stayed for the Detroit Diesel goodness.
Love the Fire Truck! Chicken to climb the ladder 😂 Thank you for sharing! 😊
That fire truck would make a heck of a tree trimmers dream come true, for tall tree trimming, thanks BigAl California
i'm sure half the time you do it to give Mrs C&C a heart attack 🤣🤣🤣🤣oh boy.. the stuff you buy and get yourself into Clint!
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I think you’re right 😂😂
You brought the ultimate super soaker
With that ladder and Old Glory hanging, the whole state will see it.
The older I get the less I like heights. I think I have worked around heavy equipment too much of my life. For some reason I can smell diesel. WTH. Nice looking piece of equipment. Brings a whole level of respect to our First Line Responders, above what I already had for them. Thanks for sharing.
I use to drive one of the 105 ft Pierce Quint before becoming a Battalion Chief. I think it's around 46K GVW with out water in the tank.
Newer equipment is much heavier, this is a vintage 1993.
@@user-ln7of9gs4sdamn your comment made me feel old
@@user-ln7of9gs4sA modern Ferrara ladder weighs roughly 78k but it depends on what axles you option it with tho but some of ours are 😊
Clint, the little oil tank with the dipstick on the passenger side pump panel is primer oil to pull a prime on the pump. It uses the oil to seal the primer pump vanes. New apparatus doesn’t use oil since it blows right onto the ground.
Watching this is gold when you are on the air horns 😅😅
Probably make one hell of a tree trimming rig! Love watching you guys working, playing and acting like knuts! Be safe, have fun!
Captain Kleeman would be able to put you right on the correct operation of the aerial ladder
Good call! They've got to get him down there to show them the ropes
Fire Com box was for headsets, comms between FF’s. The driver position probably quick connect plug also used at pump panel. Weight 62-63k loaded (assume 300 g or so water) plus rest of equipment. Newer would be even heavier.
The horn is the best feature! Sweet ride..you guys need to dress up as firemen for Halloween!
Like the video on this Fire truck .
Those are built in a small town here in eastern Nebraska!! Firetrucks are about as big as the town!
I thought about making a "fun" bid on the truck, but with my luck, I'd win the damn thing!! I live in a retirement RV park in Brownsville TX, full of Winter Texans.... I could just already hear the comments LOL.... On the other hand.... Really would be priceless to see the look on the park managers face if I were to drive in with it LOL
The difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys! Every man has wanted to play with a real fire truck at least once. You guys are living the dream!
Thank you for BUYING this Ladder.
I own a 1971 SeaGrave Engine. 8V-71 Detroit with a 5 speed Spicer/Dana Transmission. I use it for KIDS events with are Local Fire Zones. Let kids get in Drivers seat. At least in mine the kids can slide or walk through cab. Make sure the Differential Lock is unlocked in cab. On mine it also has a disconnect for front brakes ( slippery roads) mine also has the micro switch for brakes without putting foot on pedal. I don't turn any of those ON. I also have button on dash (have coveredwith Rubber cap, so kids don't push that button. Its the emergency KILL Air for the old two strokes. I have added electronic sires to her. I just had the big Federal "Q" on nose. When I brought her
Loaded up all the Air packs compartment with portable Fire extinguisher of all sizes and types. I have mounted old school Light bars on roof, swap them out from time to time. Plus it has to have the great Federal "184" four beam beacon 🚨. The Beakon that was probably the light that came with it new in 1971. I have learned so much from her about the inside of a Pump. There is so many room to get under her and look at where all the levers connections to what outlet.
Just the simple fact you can have some fun, while you work run a business, keep family going is just amazing!!!
Is Bubby & Boss related??? When Bubby going on the Turkey hunt???
I don't know why but like the crew!!! Great stuff...
No relation, just showed up one day and won't leave now like a bad rash in your armpit🤣🤣
Kool ride Clint was that one of those impulse buys where I gotta have it. Lol now y’all convince dirt perfect that he needs it to water his go cart track with it
This comment caused me to choke on my soda pop!! Thank you for a great comment!!! 😅😂
You guys cracked me up. Looked like a fun time
Boys haven fun nothing wrong there 👍👋🇨🇦
Love the 850’s project ,all the detective work Clinton👍 , Kevin should be reported for spanner/wrench abuse 😢😂 thank you and the guys for the great videos 👏👏👏👏👍🥇🍺🍺 🥤🥤🍫🍫
Thats some machine...Get Kevin up the ladder,right to the top lol...stay safe boys...
Being a firefighter, truck work is the best work!
There goes the neighborhood!! Dial 911 in southern Indiana and you get C&C Equipment! Clint - you have more real fire trucks than kids have toy fire trucks!! NOT fair!! You kids play nice! Thumbs up! (or is that ladders up?) Be safe. Jim
hahahahahahahah great video, really like the scenic route. wondering if Keven could use the excuss of following the fire truck if he had got stopped for all the red lights and stop signs he ran. hahahahaha he is volunteer just trying to keep up.
😂😂Awesome video Clint, Kevin, and Hunter!! Sounds like it has a Detroit under the cab. You guys keep buying fire equipment you can start your own FD.
1st things first: gotta get the horns in tune. Yes, they can be tuned...when they are on the same pitch, they get really loud.
The first thing I said to my daughter, "Those stuttertones ain't stutterin'."
This is one of the funniest video you guys have put up. I have laugh quite a bit.
It would make a nice camper for a family, or school trips.
Just for starters that ladder 🪜 truck is awesome! 👍😎
I got about 600 ft of supply lines and 1000 ft of hand lines would fit in great with your ladder truck
Used one of those for many years. Pain in the royal ass to maintain it. Lotta work even with a 5 man crew. Be safe guys. those can kill you quick.
It's 55,000 empty! They range full about 80,000 to 100.000
" A beautiful day for fire truck ", it's even better that you guys don't need it thank God😊 ( literally )
Now everybody wants a fire truck to Christmas!
Y’all are having way too much fun!!🎉
33:33 10 Stories. My dad drove a 16 story bucket truck for Station 1 in Austin Tx. for a few years. He’s retired now after 27 years.
2 big kids with a new toy. Have fun guys.
Listening to that Detroit brings back a lot of memories for this old retired firefighter.
Big boys with big toys!
I love it, ya'll are like a big kid with a new toy!!🤣😂
Chris needs a new toy!!!!!! Love it.
I can tell you are having fun with the horn.
Great firetruck.
Good to see you driving by my town again just like when you bought the dragline. Good video, would be cool to see Kevin on the very top ladder.
She’s a beauty Clint nice one 👍😎🇺🇸 NY
Like teen boys with new play toy. Firetruck with working sirens and lights. Thanks for the video enjoy watching and everyone having fun
That’s Awesome Clint!
You have cool army vehicles, cool Tonka toys, cool firetrucks.... can i come over and play in your sandbox?? My mom said it was ok... lol
Damn, you guys are having way too much fun!!
Retired fire trucks really do make a good platform for other uses. We use to have a customer that came to our shop with fire truck converted to dump trucks. They looked odd but cool at the same time.
Awesome video like always!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see what the fire truck brings 💰 🚒
I put a bid on it just for fun! Love the videos. Need to send someone up that ladder.
Hey you definitely got the right truck to water the Moto track you can hit the hole track from one spot
your going to make TFD jealous
Good Gawd... I am SO envious watching this! (but in a good way...)
You guys have WAAAAY too much fun with the big boy toys, I love it lol 😅
I work I’m fire trucks and yes its fun driving them
Clint had way to much fun driving the fire truck
It's nice to see the kids having fun with their new toy! 😂😁😜🤟
when I worked at the port in Brunswick Ga they exported Fire trucks like this on the Car transport Boats on the return trip.
Clint
Y’all need to watch a classic called “ it’s a mad,mad,mad world. At the end is the fire truck scene. You and Kevin will bust a guy!
Saw the news after watching this video. There is an outfit in Montpelier VT that may be in need of a replacement truck after that lumber yard fire.
That truck might de 50.000 pounds maybe 🤔 thanks buddy, thanks BigAl California
Hey since your dragline is used as a flag holder now you have a bigger machine to use as a flag holder to display old glory the red white and blue nice and high towards the sky then break out The Gadsden flag to compliment old glory 👍
@c&cequipment my old volunteer fire company had a 1988 pierce arrow 105’ ladder truck in service until 2008 it was the best truck ever
Alright ,,, double video ,,, Clint,,you guys rock!! Having Pints now!!Cheers!;-)!
It rotes as well, and the the controls are all in the back in panels, wished I lived closer and had the funds I’d come up and we flow water though it .
Hey now you can clean the gutters on your warehouse and you can top that big giant tree in the yard with a star for Christmas❤
Here in the UK when a turntable ladder reaches their end of service life with the authorities, before they can be sold to be used as a ladder, the ladder has to be ex-rayed for fatigue. A costly exercise.
I could tell in the start of your video that you were driving thru Terre Haute, that's my neck of the woods!! Enjoy all your videos! 😃😃
These men would be a hoot to work for. I remember working for a heavy equipment company. ( mechanic). Few choose to get along like you guys. Time to work time to play lol.
I think that thing would make an awesome wrecker unit with a rotator. I don’t know what y’all gonna do with it but I know you got something up
Hay, if you find yourself in NH, with the ladder truck some day, i wouldn't mind climbing to the top. With my chain saw, to cut a 100 ft. Tree. 😉
Everyone should own a FIRETRUCK NICE starting a 🎄 tree trimming bissness haven't seen kevin this happy sense last christmas lol😂😂😊😊😊
Y’all have to much fun
Man i love ladder trucks. wish we had one at the station but no budget.. also would need a station with more bays
The first thing I would have done would have been up that ladder. Where/when would you ever get that chance again?
Love the T-shirt '"Sometimes Motivation Finds You".
Remember how our toy Matchbox fire truck had those white ladders on them😂, I’m not going to the top!!! Fun time over, sell!!!!😂👍🇺🇸
A Pierce Arrow, it's a nice truck, Pierce is the premier apparatus manufacturer. That would make some small department a nice ladder. We just bought a new ladder truck on the department for 1.3 million dollars. I'm a retired fire chief, and it was funny, watching you guys serving the ladder, lol. If my guys took that long to set one at a fire, I'd have a stroke.
