New used engine for the Roberts Park FPD (more)

Roberts Park purchased this used 2009 Seagrave engine which previously served Mansfield, MA. It will replace Engine 303 (Ex Engine 31) a 1993 Pierce Dash that formerly served Justice FD as Engine 551 prior to the takeover.

  This Seagrave is a beautiful rig and right around the age of where some modernization/upgrades would keep this engine in service for many years. Going through all the air lines and suspension would be a good start. Inspect the generator would be beneficial as well. This engine was built just before LED scene lighting gained momentum in the market. This particular scene lighting would greatly benefit from an LED upgrade. Maybe even remove the white/red chevron and replace with a 3M Diamond Grade chevron. I can’t imagine this engine needing much but I’m a pretty meticulous person and always encourage to keep rigs well maintained for a long lifespan.
