sambarn Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If that was horse drawn, they must have some BIG horses!!! I think it was built as a steam carriage because of the propulsion specific design on the frame and body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I think he means that the steam unit was originally horse drawn. It has been put on to a powered chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jscheib Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 In Hartford, we have a diesel electric FWD built to replace the horses on a similar steam pumper. Wish I could find a photo.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonathanSierakowski Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hey John,I think you're talking about "Jumbo," the Hartford fire truck that was owned by James Melton. It still lives in New England.

HarryJ Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 No it's not horse drawn........it's a gas driven vehicle......note the hand crank and the chain drive to the rear wheels. It is awesome! Does anyone know what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
