Hi there

The second of my vehicles is a 1964 Ex Army Fire Tender - after is Military life it was used at the now closed township in the far North of SA (Kingoonya) - histroy is a little vague but believed to be bought by the Kingoonya township people for fire protection.

I purchased the vehicle in 1999 and it it currently being totally rebuilt as the bore water through the pump has had catastrophic effect (total rebuild of the pump).

It has a 500 gallon per minute PTO driven center mounted pump (Coventry Climax) but with a water carrying capacity of 450Lt.  When it was purchased it was still fully stowed (Hoses-branches and a set of unusual black diamond rescue gear)







Thanks for looking

Update report on the rebuild.

The pump has now been rebuilt and back running - the vehicle is due to be painted in the next few days (depending on the weather)







Enjoy
