We have had many questions about the pump system on this 6x6 fire truck. So we added the fallowing information: There is no pump certification paper work with the truck. Also we did try to pump with the truck, and the main inlet valve is stuck in the closed position. The PTO works fine but we could not get any water to any of the outlets. The hose real motors work fine retracting the hoses back in, but we can"t get any water pumping with out this valve opened. This is a very nice shaped old fire truck, but it will need some attention to be used as a fire pumper again. This is the last time this truck will be listed on e-bay. Thank you for the questions! Rick.
