I think you are asking the wrong crowd. There must be fire fighting forums and a doppelganger world of firetruck restorers. Maybe someone is asking them at this very minute about CMP front arches or Universal Carrier rivets?

There is a reason why he is asking here. The pump goes on the 1956 Ford C500 field fire truck. Mark has bought one of the 11 trucks produced for the DND. I have the same truck, and have been keeping an eye for one of these pumps for a couple years now.

Grant: If you find a second one, please keep me in mind.

Very impressive Grant, you are truly a bloodhound. I have been watching for years and only found portions, and always too late.

The Quebec one is further than BC, but I'll get the wife to call (she is francophone) and see if a deal can be worked out. Thanks.

Thanks to Grant for spotting the ad, and my wife for parlaying to the seller, I received my Wajax Mark1 pump n the mail today. Had to be shipped in two boxes due to the weight, which is right at the Canada Post limit, but it only takes seconds to install the pump onto the engine.

Now if there was only water in Shilo to test it out. It's -12°C with a windchill that brings it down to -26. We will likely not see water here for another 3 or 4 months at best.

Glad to hear you got that one Rob. I was using my Honda pump this week to wash sawdust off my driveway after having some trees dropped and branches chipped up. It's raining here today but still warm enough to work outside at least.

Grant: I was liking you until you told me all that.

I took my two batteries from the Dodge Diesel in to Walmart for warranty yesterday and they owe me two new ones. No stock right now though with the cold snap. Typically the batteries only last about a year and a half due to the high draw of the airbox heater and the relatively short trip I do to work.

Today I pulled the belt off the truck to find out what was so noisy in the front, and my 9 month old alternator has a bad bearing. Too damn cold today to remove it.....guess I'll get the fire going in the shop Saturday to remove it and run it into town for exchange.

Forgive me if I feel little pity for your having to pressure wash your driveway in the rain.

Just kidding of course. Thanks again for the lead.
