Thanks to Scott Peterson for the tip on this one.
The Hebron-Alden-Greenwood FPD purchased Engine 1346 from the Nunda Rural FPD sometime last year. The vehicle is now painted Red.
Bill Friedrich adds:
This vehicle, which currently has a Spartan Monarch cab, was originally delivered with a Ford C-8000 cab that was destroyed in an accident in 1994. I believe RPI did the work on this rehab. A photo of the new engine at Hebron will be added when photographed.

J. C. What are is your department looking into? Will it be also on a commercial chassis?

Rob-This engine was purchased so that we could push off a new engine for a little bit. The Ford/3D went out of service approx a year ago due to mechanical issues. We are currently in the early stages of specing out a new engine.

Will this Engine replace one of the older engines such as Ford/3D or the International/3D? Did the dept look at buying a new Engine?

I am a FF for Hebron. We anticipate the engine going into service with us by the end of the month. Painting is complete, lettering and tool mounting are currently in progress. The engine will be numbered Engine 842. The current 842’s status is undetermined at this time, at the moment it is in the shop due to a mechanical issue. On another note our Brush 862, a 1979 GMC, was involved in an accident in December. It has been repaired and repainted from light blue to a proper red. It should also be lettered and inservice by the end of the month.
