1981 Hahn Fire Engine with 6-71 Detroit Diesel

The ride starts at 1:42

So my friend purchased another fire engine (after selling the Mack a few years ago.) This time it's a 1981 Hahn powered by a 6-71N (inline, naturally aspirated [no turbo]) Detroit Diesel with an Allison MT 644 automatic transmission. Saved from being turned into scrap at the eleventh hour (literally, he picked it up around midnight) this beast lives on!

It's one heck of a rough ride with nothing weighing it down. I had to use youtube's image stabilizer to keep the nausea inducing bounciness under control in the vid. It is also very loud, even in the cab. We had to almost shout to be heard over the roar of the Detroit! I'm hoping to get more videos soon.

This is former Rumson NJ engine no. 275. They removed their station name from the body when they took it out of service.
