Reo Speedwagon Fire Engine

[Guest tgreen]

We are currently looking for some information on are Reo Speedwagon. The information we have currently is that it is a 1926 but the information that we are getting from the area would be that it may be a 1928 - 1930 some where in to that gap. The model is an FA and that is the only thing that is on the serial number. With that the some other information that is on the motor on the head it has A70 CWC 1FA195 1-C2a-1 along with it saying Chrome Nickle on the engine block. It would be great if anyone new anything on this engine or truck in general. It would help are department out greatly.

Tsk! Tsk!!...Everyone out with too much celebrating?? Anyway:

(1) join the Reo club (includes everything Reo), it'll be well worth it.

(2) Post Reo questions on the Reo forum here for better exposure/replies.

(3) An old parts catalog lists an FA truck 1927-29 with a 6cyl 33/16x5 motor, and an FA 29-30 with a Gold Crown 6cyl 33/8x5 motor, but parts catalogs are notoriously incomplete.

All that said, if that's a heavy unit it may well have someone else's heavy duty motor in it, especially if dual ign; if no "tag" (3x5 or so metal plate attached to block) it's probably a Reo engine; the Reo people will be able to fill in any info you need. Good luck.
