    Ed, I know you won't want to hear this but, with some care and preparation, I know you can catch most of those draining fluids, not for any reason other than it's the right thing to do. It's so good to see the twins together again. Hope they both turn out nicely.

    Your channel deserves to go big! Thanks for the update; I'd watched the previous revival of Truck 10; that exhaust note brought back memories...I can't help but wonder what the original Seattle Fire numbers were for these two trucks...From 1969, when we moved to Seattle, 'til '81 when our closest station, 38, replaced the old Mack w/ a new KW w/ (I'm guessing) Detroit 6-71 power, Engine 38 was usually first on scene to any incidents in our various neighborhoods (Hawthorn Hills, Laurelhurst, Ravenna/Bryant--Station 38 was at the top of a very steep hill, on NE 55th and 33rd Ave. NE, and that old rig handled the hills just fine!) Occasionally, the old Mack would turn up to fill in, when the new Engine 38 needed repair/maintenance.
    Interestingly, I watched another video of a Mack fire truck (Kleps Garage), that one being in Ohio, and a ladder truck, pretty much still all functional...His truck had the original Mack "Thermodyne" 707 cid six-cylinder gasser, and it sounds entirely different to these Hall-Scott-powered rigs (the H.-S. sounds much deeper and more "rumbly"...Also, I'd imagine the H.S. powerplant had more HP and torque than the 6-71 and 8V-71-powered KW rigs Seattle began to put into service ca. 1970 or so (they also had a few older KWs w/ Hall-Scott power; one ended up in Langley, on Whidbey, as a backup engine).
    Glad to see these old beauties getting some TLC and being driven!

      These were engine #245 and 246! Awesome that you knew these trucks, everyone thats talked about them have said nothing but good things about these old rigs! Very impressive. These Hall Scott engines were definitely the power house of the era making 350 hp and almost 1000 tq Im told they out performed all the diesels and other gas engines at the time. Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching!

    Drove one of these old trucks as a parade truck for a volunteer department. The double clutching is difficult at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Also, you get a little more power with both ignitions on at the same time. Can't beat an old B61. One of my favorite big trucks. But then, I'm kinda impartial to them. 😁 Would love to see these beauties restored to their former glory. Got to love driving the older vehicles. My daily driver is a 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook.

    • @alanmccalla6737
      @alanmccalla6737 Год назад

      "Double Clutching" is the key to not lugging the engine.
      Those WIX sock type oil filters each take a quart of oil. My FWD holds 22 quarts of oil.
      Your engine sounds good.

    A Gorgeous pair of trucks, we also have a pair of sister trucks, 2 1942 Sterling HD110 Navy tractors from WW2, 6SRKR Waukesha flat head gas engines (Both seized beyond repair), they've remained together for over 80 years although one had submitted as a parts truck for the other. On another note we too have a couple Hall-Scott gas engines, 2 480s out of fire trucks (1 seized and the other is the replacement) and a complete V12 defender (think about an engine the size of a VW bug). Great content cant wait to see more!

      Two FFs rode on the back running boards, hanging onto handrails...They did this in Seattle up until 1983 or so, when one FF was flung off while cornering, hit her head, and died. Enclosed cabs for all FFs came along about then, I think.

      Antique Truck Historical Society (ATHS) is a wealth of knowledge and old timers with knowledge.
      A company in St. Clair, MO rebuilds your master cylinder by boring and then sleeving with copper to accept off the shelf size master cyl kits. You wheel cylinders are probably Wagner or Bendix and have casting numbers. Rebuild kits are still available. The co in St. Clair are specialists in hydrovacs.
      I always had good luck with parts stores that never threw away the old parts application books. Today with the internet some child behind the counter would rather tell you they don't make it anymore than ask the old guy next to him how to help locate it.
