Yes the motor was bet the Off & Chauf you could get on one side of the bench area then get off on the other side...216s went to 331.memory master said:I think they were the only rigs the city purchased that had a full bench seat across the width of the unit. Commonly referred to back then as "the old mans seat."
lucky said:I don't know if I'm stretching it but the few '69 R model Macks also had a seat across behind the front seat.
The five Mack R's originally went to: 38, 91-2, 209, 277, 303. Re-assigned ones went to: 242, 305 & 324 a couple went to the Model Cities Salvage Units. One even wound up at the old Flushing Airport.nfd2004 said:lucky said:I don't know if I'm stretching it but the few '69 R model Macks also had a seat across behind the front seat.
I think that's correct. If I remember those Mack Rs were Eng 38 (?) and Eng 305 (?)
I know it's yes with the Internationals (commercial chassis) and the Mack R's as they replaced 1950's WLF and '58-59 Mack C's. The WLF Firebrands no, because they replaced older 1936, '37, '41 & '44 Macks, 1939 & 1946 WLF and 1947 Macks & ALF's: E40('46WLF), E42('41M), E46('47M), E82('47M), E159('46WLF), E204('41M), E209('47ALF), E216('39WLF), E217('41M), E220('47ALF), E235('47M), E260('39 Ahrens-Fox), E278('47ALF), E297('41M), E298('39WLF), E325('41M).fdce54 said:From reading the original assignments for the Firebrands, the Internationals and the Mack Rs, they all went to busy companies. Was this an experiment to see how they would hold up or just giving the newest apparatus to the busy companies?
1962 Internationals replaced: E35('53WLF), E53('58 M1000), E58('53WLF), E59('58 M750), E69('53WLF), E73('58M750), E91('53WLF), E94('58M750), E283('58M1000), E290('53WLF).fdce54 said:From reading the original assignments for the Firebrands, the Internationals and the Mack Rs, they all went to busy companies.

1969 Mack R's replaced: E38('53WLF), E91-2('65M), E209('60WLF), E277('58M750), E303('52WLF).fdce54 said:From reading the original assignments for the Firebrands, the Internationals and the Mack Rs, they all went to busy companies.

raybrag said:Sure looks like those Mack Rs had rear bench seats. And heavens to mergatroid, it's a Willy D pic!
guitarman314 said:Engine 94 had a 1962 International that was burned up. Engine 294 also had a '62 Int. that burned during refueling severely injuring a firefighter. One of the E. Harlem engine co's. (not sure 35, 58 or 91) had an International that got caught under a building collapse in 1965 or '66 that totalled Ladder 40's 1963 Seagrave tiller. L-40 wound up getting L-119's 1960 Mack/Maxim and L119 got one of the 1961 Mack C 146 ft. High Ladder rearmounts.svd385 said:These look a lot like the rig that 94 engine had when they had that fire in their quarters. I believe it was totaled at that time.
HOW? ???68jk09 said:But the Mack R'rs were different in the fact that the bench seats were only partially enclosed.
