Vehicle description
1977 Maxim 100’ Aerial Ladder truck. Purchased in 2003 directly from the originalowning fire department who had just completed a $29,000.00 repaint and bodyrehab. Detroit 8V 71 Diesel engine andAllison automatic transmission, air brakes, power steering. The truck hasalways been stored inside since purchase. Over the past ten years the truck hashad all new leaf springs on front, the cooling system was completely redone toinclude re-cored radiator, all new hoses, thermostats etc. Shifter cable replaced. Many new hydraulic hoses installed. The alternator and starter were rebuilt. All wheel seals replaced in 2016. All tires have less than 2500 miles on thembut are ten years old. The front rims are 22.5 with 11R22.5 radials,the rear tires are on 20 inch rims and are 10.00-20 bias ply. One rear tire was overinflated and the treadis worn down. The tread on all the othertires is good. All compartments are cleanand in great condition. The truck was takenout of service due to the ladder failing its certification. The ladder still works, but has a slight twistand the metal is very thin in certain locations. The buyer will be required to sign astatement, as a condition of the sale, that the ladder cannot be used for itsintended purpose. I’ve invested over $20,000.00 in this truck sincepurchase. I use it primarily as a paraderig. It comes equipped with the mainladder and an assortment of ground ladders only – no other equipment comes withthe truck. The compartments are allempty. The truck has been stored indoors always and istitled in my name, registered and insured in my name in the state of Florida. Prior to sale I will change all fluids in theevent you want to drive it home although I would be concerned about the age ofthe tires on any long distance trip. Exceptfor the tires the truck is in superb mechanical condition and would easily makea cross country trip. The buyer must contact the seller within 24 hours of the end of the auction to coordinate pick-up and payment arrangements. The PayPal deposit is nonrefundable.
