Recently pulled out of storage from out volunteer fire dept. What I believe is a 1934 IH b3. As the story goes this was originally a log truck and then in 1937 (roughly) it was converted to a fire engine pumper and was the first peice of motorized equiptment in our county. Not to familiar with these things so anyone who does and has coments or sugestions would be great!

Very cool piece of history. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like it was repowered some time in its important life. Should be seeing a flat head under that bonnet... Doesn't take away from the cool factor though..

Should have been a green diamond. Looks like maybe a red diamond. I love it. You need another one so I can buy one
 
Let's see a close up of the pump panel. I've been checked out on all the engines at our fd and have just been given ok to grab a engine and respond with out explicit permission. Still can't do code 3 yet.
