WOW ! tight squeeze. How was the turn coming out? I bet you both drivers had to be on their game, huh? Great looking rigs too. Love the "old school" fire trucks. Don't make 'em like that anymore.

@JdbTrucks I tillered Ladder 3 and Ladder 4 (among other duties since I retired as a Captain) for the City of Albany, NY Fire Department so I do know what it's like to drive and tiller a TDA. So, watching your father, who I'm sure is a great guy, he is having problems backing in and the tillerman is as well.

@Wonkawillie77 It wasn't my dad how had the problem! If you ever driven a tiller which you probably never have then you don't know how it works. The guy in the back was having the problem because he hadn't ever steered the ass end.

This truck here came from the Pittsburgh, Pa Fire Dept. and was originally the twin to the other American LaFrance Pioneer tiller. We have a few tillers in the collection. We have a total of 16 trucks-all are ALF's with the exception of two Seagraves. Stay safe and God Bless.
