Nicely updated - probably while still a front line unit - with pneumatics and electricals.

Note the typical chain drive and gravity fuel feed from the oval tank behind the driver's seat, as well as the right hand steering - all characteristic of the era. So were the single rear wheels, because these early pumpers did not usually have a water tank. Those which did - the "triple combinations', had small chemical tanks around 40 USG mounted just above or behind the mid-mounted pump installation. Bigger tanks and dual rear wheels followed in the 1920s and 1930s.
