Wanted: Wajax mark i fire pump

[Mark Minarik]

If you have a functioning unit for sale please drop me a line. Needed for a fire truck restoration. Thanks!!

You may already have seen this manual. It does have a couple of images that might help people identify the Wajax Mark I you are looking for.

I have no idea what mark of pump they are selling but it might be worth contacting them http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-other/cr...ationFlag=true
And some more folks with an interest in the Mark 1 pumps http://www.smokstak.com/forum/showthread.php?t=129527 I've found the smokestack forum to have folks with surprisingly varied interests.
I hope I'm not insulting you by telling you things you already knew long ago but a quick google on "wajax fire pump mark 1" produced quite a few hits - something like 4300 - but not all for the Mark 1. Enough for a week of bedtime reading.... enjoy.

I think you are asking the wrong crowd. There must be fire fighting forums and a doppelganger world of firetruck restorers. Maybe someone is asking them at this very minute about CMP front arches or Universal Carrier rivets?

Would this one interest you? It is a few hours drive from my place, but if you want more info PM me and maybe I can help you out.

There is a reason why he is asking here. The pump goes on the 1956 Ford C500 field fire truck. Mark has bought one of the 11 trucks produced for the DND. I have the same truck, and have been keeping an eye for one of these pumps for a couple years now.

Grant: If you find a second one, please keep me in mind.

Rob there is one in Quebec might be closer to you. http://m.kijiji.ca/achat-et-vente-di...=1446998340174

Very impressive Grant, you are truly a bloodhound. I have been watching for years and only found portions, and always too late.

The Quebec one is further than BC, but I'll get the wife to call (she is francophone) and see if a deal can be worked out. Thanks.
