6V92TA Firetruck! Will she be alive some day?

This is a 1992 Seagrave, with a Detroit Diesel 6V92TA Silver edition. It has some major engine issues, and we are finally going to start working on it. We just have to get it out of its hole enough to work on the Engine.
We pull it with a 1990 F-SuperDuty with a 7.3 idi, then a 80's International S1800 with a 404 Cui V8, then the Deuce M35A2C with her multifuel gets the job...sorta done.

That fire apparatus does not have an "angle of attack" frame. It has an urban frame that is box-like, instead of tapered. This causes dragging on the uneven ground.

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

Correct, although the bumper was the only thing dragging. Mostly it was the 8"-10" lip we had to get the front tires over, plus the tires had sunk into the ground. Plus all of that dead weight. The Deuce has actually towed it before, in fact it is the one that put it in the current spot. Just struggled with traction, would have been best to (at some point) buy a heavy duty kinetic rope. I suspect that would have made this much easier.

that buzzer is for the air breaks and when the buzzing stops that means the tank is full so that could have been the break problem

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

Correct, but the breaks weren't holding it up, it was just REALLy heavy and that 1 foot lip was enough to cause issues.

@@ThisGuysStuffandStuff ah ok, I was just wondering if you knew

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

@@edroughan6413 Aye we did. Thank you though!

I woot mid having fire truck like that as diecast

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

If i ever get a chance to do merch for the channel, i think Diecast models of the vehicles would be really cool

[@diesellivesmatter]

You need a winch, a real winch.....and a lot more weight. I'm guessing that fire truck is pushing 54k

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

Yeah it would be nice to have a truck with a big 'ol winch on her. Just don't though

[@henrythompson8582]

Did you "cage the brakes" on the fire apparatus?

[@ThisGuysStuffandStuff]

I do believe that they were, was a few months ago that this took place, and I can't quite remember
