I have a 28 AA Firetruck with an open cab and folding windshield posts. I need mirrors desperately and cannot find ones that will work. It seems only mirrors for closed cabs are available. I have added a photo of the front and would like the mirrors to mount where the windshield lower stanchions mou...

What do the rest of you guys use for a muffler and pipe? My AA is a firetruck and someone put a car exhaust on it. It's blown and does not quiet the exhaust at all. Not only that, the end of the tail pipe is about one foot behind the driver's seat and the fumes get to me. I was thinking of cutting t...

Yes, I can. I plan to tear the engine down to assess the amount of damage and fix it. Depends on the extent...

Well, after a weekend of investigating the source of the noise, I've discovered that a new universal won't be necessary. The center main bearing in the engine is shot. When I dropped the main cap, babbit came off the shell in sheets. I guess now I'll pull the engine and check the top half of the bea...

Photos?? There is one part on my pump that says Hale. It's a large gate valve on the output port with a handle that opens and closes 90 degrees apart. It has a square 6 bolt flange. see the photo. If you look at the photo of my pump, maybe there are similarities. A diagram would help.

I know I said that I'll be checking the integrity of the u-joints on Saturday, but I'm just trying to do my homework ahead of time. Can anyone tell me if the u-joints for the 30-31 trucks will fit the 28?

I've only had the truck for 2 months or so. I have only cleaned it up and not much else. I have the history of the truck since new and I am the second owner after the original fire company. It was purchased from Howe Fire Apparatus in 1929 by South New Berlin Fire Co. South New Berlin, NY. It looks ...

OK, here is a shot of the undercarriage. The red case in front of the cross-member is the pump gear box. There is a lever on the driver’s side that engages the pump and puts the final drive in neutral. The transmission is placed in high gear while pumping. I’ve hesitated putting the pump in play, si...

Thanks for the replies, I'm in Hudson, NY (south of Albany). I have jacked the rear wheels off the ground and the sound changed from a pounding noise to a dull rumble. At first I thought the sound was from the pump trying to engage while I was driving, but with the wheels off the ground, the sound i...

Hello, I'm new to this forum, but I've been on the Ford Barn for a little over a year. I have an early 28 AA firetruck that has a bit of a problem. There is a rumble in the engine that seems to be there only when I'm in gear and under a load. I've had the lower half of the engine apart several times...
