Ben bought a classic 4x4 fire truck! Let's go drive it!

When your buddy buys a fire truck, you have to go check it out! So I headed over to 406 Garage to meet up with Ben and play with his fire truck for a bit. Check out Ben's channel at / @406garage3

I worked at an Allison shop for a bit. I bet that Trans and t-case with pto. Is cool. I bet it's a medium duty probably 3ft tall and 3ft wide.. Maybe Ben can show it.

[@randyc4959]

two things. leave pump/apparatus drain valves open when not in use, and don't let it sit ... exercise it, use it to water the yard/garden/driveway, clean dozer tracks, cut a slit trench ... just don't let it sit for months at a time

[@garlenseong38]

That gotta be a dream of most kids to is drive a fire truck. Must say it is cool. I'm a diesel mechanic for past 15 yrs...

[@kensakamoto258]

That vehicle was designed and used by the Calif. Dept. of Forestry and is known as a Mod. 12 fire engine. I drove them when new as a firefighter. Some were sold to outside agencies like this one. They were used heavily and this may be the last survivor. So good to see an old friend. Wow.

[@javabeanz8549]

I was watching a video last week, saw a number of the newer ones, and right there with them was a dozer I recognized, 2444. The great CalFire crews are about the only thing that I miss from California, they rock at their jobs!

[@wesman7837]

@@javabeanz8549 I would imagine because they get so much practice!

[@annalorree]

I worked for CDF in the 1990s. This engine is before my time, but I worked with people who had been on these engines. This is one of the models that inspired the later Model 14/15 with the crew cab. I mostly worked off of Model 1, 5, and Model 9 engines.

[@kensakamoto258]

@@annalorree The last time drove one of these was at the CDF Academy in 1977. The mod. 12 and 10 were not widely accepted due to some design flaws. Early ones were not very reliable. We were supposed to train on these daily at the Academy but they were always in the shop for repairs. As an engineer, I mostly drove type 1 engines, but sometimes we had a mod. 9 as a substitute engine. I loved the 1's and 5's.

[@annalorree]

@@kensakamoto258 as a seasonal firefighter back then, 5s were my favorite. We always got the best assignments with them, and they were far more agile than the models in use now.

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

1:05 common now, thats fer them celebratory Cigars for successfully putting out the fire guyss 😆

[@andy123605]

Interested if it has an hour meter. I'm a retired firefighter and we idled the trucks and engines a lot. Essentially, they were never shut down if they were on a call. Keep up the great work Casey!

[@Thor_drones]

Jup same here. Truck only had like 15k miles on it but hour wise 140000 hours (20yr old)

[@DuncanJimmy]

And today's winner for the kid with the best toys goes to Ben. Again.

[@55ATA3]

Glad to see someone like Ben got this truck, he will make sure it will not get changed as long as he has it. Always enjoy seeing the trucks from my childhood still in great shape...

[@mrsalvage9301]

Riley will love that you should do a parade for the Kid so they can check it out

What an awesome firetruck!! Super cool find! Yep...the Ben & Casey banter is perfect! 🤣 Lucy makes a great firedog, too! 🥰

[@lonhoschar1943]

Really cool old fire truck!! Love the super high top speed!! LOL!! Can't believe he found one in TOTAL working order!!

[@chestertaylor6257]

You should mess with your wife by having Ben bring the firetruck over to your house. He Parks outside obviously then he turns on the sirens. I'll bet that it would be funny as hell.

[@phts2279]

Those 2 have more fun now then as they were kids

[@CynSan]

Enjoyed this one a LOT!!! Thanks for showing us this great old firetruck, Casey!!!

[@ronalddavis439]

I've bee a firefighter for 45 years. We bought a new pump in 1978 it was 47 thousand. I'd say hat one was 35 thousand. Love the truck.

[@wesman7837]

You think he paid 35K or that's what it cost new?

[@tamo9520]

Unbelievable! That was freaking awesome! & it's soooooo pristine for it' age!

[@om617yota8]

With the fire seasons we've had lately, a fire truck isn't a bad idea for anyone with some property. At least a fire skid that's ready to go.

[@rustybones99]

The opening scene made me think of the saying “give someone a hammer and everything looks like a nail” except it’s now “give a guy a fire truck and everything looks like a fire”. I know I’d be watering everything if I had a fire truck.

[@gabrieluribe1852]

We had an old international tanker fire truck at Montana Vista Volunteer fire and Rescue, Top speed was 45 MPH this was back in 1994.

[@kevinlstephenson6759]

As a former firefighter I can say (at least in Georgia and Alabama) that as a private citizen owned truck you run the lights and siren on private property, or in parades and other special functions. If you are running them on the road outside of the mentioned settings you are at risk of getting a ticket for impersonating a fire department/city/county employee depending on how your local fd's are ran.

[@normankukukjr2008]

every time the camera paned over the dash I laughed, because you clearly were not buckled up.... lol

[@DenverUCG]

Now you will need to build your own fire house, you will need to keep the truck and pumps in use so they don't dry out and leak, but it's great to see it is still full service.

[@SteveLaVoy]

Casey, this the the BEST not second best. Everyone’s childhood dream. Drive a fire truck. And Yes YEs YES, let us know when the parade will be.

[@larryceaser1706]

Casey I actually drove one of those (only difference it was a tanker) as a volunteer for Amabel Township Fire Dept back in the late 60's great trucks until you drove them out into a cornfield to put out a grass ???? fire Great memories from long ago took two tow trucks to remove it from the field after we dumped the 1800 gallons of water on board Was quite a day lmao

[@tedfisk1211]

The banter between you two is hilarious. Keep it up.

[@robertchristensen2633]

Glad someone saved it from scrap yard

[@tompinnef6331]

Lots of the guys smoked when I joined the fire service in 1975. Came home smelling of smoke and it wasn't due to being in a fire. Nice old engine - keep the pump running. Drain her good for colder weather. Otherwise you'll have a lot of cracked pipes. Have fun with her, that old girl needs a loving new owner. Miss our old American LaFrance 1955 pumper. Was the first engine I drove and pumped with. She is now a museum piece and been repainted etc. BTW was there a old low band whip mounted on her anywhere? Most of the fire service in CA was on the old 33 MHz fire band back then.

[@davep4610]

That is a seriously cool truck !!!

[@johnperun232]

Great Content and Video Thanx for sharing your Fire Truck Have a Great Day 👍 Ben has Cool Toys

[@marklar7551]

You can't just run the sirens unless you're in a parade, but if you were going to put out a fire then the local FD might get bent out of shape. Yes you should parade that beautiful machine.

[@richardhill5172]

Wow, as soon as I saw that engine, I knew it was the one I spent many years with. It brings back a lot of good memories to see it again.

[@Scott-hb1xn]

Take the straight tips off, and put on the Navy pistol grip fog nozzles... If that is a John Bean High Pressure fire engine, that fucker will work GREAT! Most city fire companies have no clue how to use high pressure to knock out a fire with LOW water use... They believe in surround and drown tactics, where you just put loads of wet stuff on the red stuff- you put out the fire, but destroy the place... We used to use a John Bean Hi-Pressure (700PSI) truck as our attack truck- go in with both reel hoses and Navy Nozzles cranked until you could hear "paper tearing" noise and a great fog pattern- Two go in together, one high, one low, and it would fill the room with a water fog, and quench the fire by cooling and displacing oxygen... AWESOME! And you would not water damage everything... That is a GREAT truck! My old fire company had two of them- a 1964 with straight pipes (great for 3am fire calls... lol) and a 1974 (If I recall correctly) Rode both beavertails many times back in the day when you could...

[@KIDHLRGarage]

That cigarette lighter 😂, I once volunteered for a fire department that hooked up a mini fridge to the shore power outlet. When we got to the fire, we had a fridge full of cold water! Love the old fire trucks!

[@MaxNafeHorsemanship]

The volunteer fire dept I was in would have had that full of beer.

[@imtonedeaf1]

Ben needs to create a ih museum so folks can enjoy these old truks

[@64TommyG]

But not treat them as a museum! They need to be used regularly to maintain functionality! I'll guess it has lost some of the water pressure because you can't handle the normal pressure yourself we needed to be four people...

[@hoggif]

"Grass is coming nice" :D I guess everyone with grass should get one! It has the cool factor over the roof!

[@michaelmckallip5565]

[@markwilson9760]

Awesome truck

[@andrewmortimer3317]

Beautiful old truck. My dad was on a fire dept years ago and they had a similar truck. The winch was mainly used when the non-4wd pumpers got stuck in mud after driving onto lawns to access fires. I remember watching the winch cable snap on a training exercise.

I bought an old firehouse, and can certify that firemen of days past smoked a lot more than average. When I got the place, it was 50 years old, and had ~1/16" of tar on the walls. You could also see where the ashtray stand by the front door was by the grey smoke covering the corner from ~2ft high to the ceiling.
