Man, I am pretty glad you obtained this, and it didn't go to scrap. The ACA Hurricanes have always been one of my favorites for a long time and it's good to see there are still a few left at least. Can't wait to see this thing run when you get it fixed!
nice im getting a thunderbolt 1003 sadly i cant find a nice m6 blower online so frick the blower rn also i recommend USING A THUNDERBOLT BLOWER hope that will help heh
Looking at the serial It's from 1981. My thing is if the blower was missing only the chopper can sound. Strange how they gave you the blower cover and not the blower itself. I saw this same siren coming back from Memphis back in early 2020. Good to know you have it now
I was told by a friend of mine that it's pretty brittle from sitting out in the sun for decades. But I pray to god that he can clean it without issues.
Probably. People are making a huge deal out of it. None of this stuff is extra sensitive to lightning, I’m sure it has been struck dozens if not hundreds of times. (It’s on a 50 foot metal pole sticking up in the middle of an empty field, what do you expect) This older stuff is basically immune to it.

This is the head that was by the P10, however the blower is from the car lot.
I thought the hurricane’s blower from the highway was gutted because there was a bird nest on top of the vents at the bottom
@@OutdoorWarningSirenStudios2 yeah it is gutted besides the motor. The birds nest was underneath the motor.

Looking at the serial
It's from 1981.
My thing is if the blower was missing only the chopper can sound.
Strange how they gave you the blower cover and not the blower itself.
I saw this same siren coming back from Memphis back in early 2020.
Good to know you have it now
I have the 90degree metal blower frame and everything. And the motor. Just not the blower itself.
@@TexasRailfan2008 that's going to be tricky surley you'll be able to figure out how to get it fully working.
Your lucky and good job you saved it!
Damn!
NICE!!!!
By any chance, do you have plans to refurbish the siren?? (clean and recolor, get everything working, etc)
Yes. It will be fully restored and put into service at my house
OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! YOU DID IT! YOU MADE HISTORY!
can you show me what the blower looks like? I have never seen what a Hurricane blower looks like.
@@southcarolinasirens1000 the blower itself is empty, only the motor is left. They are basically the same as a thunderbolt blower
Wow so is it the one that was next to the p10?
Yes.
Cool
I thought that one was still up
@@BRISTOLFORCE2009 they’re both gone. And all 5 ATIs and all 3 P10s

Looks like all your fiberglass is in really good condition. One of the next things to do is pressure wash it.

Wait so is the last standing hurricane the Milwaukee one? Or are there still other inactive units?
I believe there are still a few standing but they are inactive apart from the Milwaukee one.
In the United States, yes, in other countries, we aren't sure.
Nice. Wonder what happened to the other one
@@will09666 SWS bought it
