Welcome to the site, hobby, friendships and events to come. Sounds like you had a great and trouble free journey.

A great truck with much (nice looking) original equipment. Welcome. (and, see you and 'it') at paddock pud this year?)

Just for the test it was running at 'tick over'. Then ben upped the R.P.M. to 1500, which is the true pumping speed. The "colour" was a 'clean out' long time no use colour!. It runs clean now. And over the holiday period this weekend we are going to run run it thoroughly with a full load of...

Obtained two rare ground monitors, and as we have the even rarer U.K. To U.S. hose and coupling adaptors, We were able to test out the function, clean the 'waterworks' out, and prepare for the demonstration at an upcoming event. Which will have an M45-530C, V ,Green Goddess 'fight!'...

Ok we attended the show at the museum of light and power..everyone was impressed with our turnout. We enjoyed the run out which was a shake down run for the fire truck. It performed faultlessly, the power of this truck still amazes me and gives me a thrill you would not believe. It tackles hills...

Go on, admit it, You really enjoyed the experience, and have something to tell your, friends, kids, relations and all un-sundry. Well done, the effort was well worth it.

I changed out the mirrors to the original 70s units at the same time.

So, ok today we launched into fitting a proper winch on my 530C..(call to mind the song "it's my life.." and replace it with "Its MY truck.."..as 'approved by members in other members posts' So, the winch assembly duly stripped off the scrapped truck..hard work and required the floor cutting...
