  When I was on the department in the mid-80’s, that was Engine 223/2423. 1000/500, gas/manual. 2nd out after another ALF, then 3rd out after the 1984 Pierreville

  Wow it certainly looks good. But then again, any ALF 900 is a timeless rig.
  I wonder if it is still in good running condition or is it just going to set and have trees grow thru it and wasps build nests in it?
