1988 Mack CF Fire Engine Restoration | Lightbar Repairs
Рет қаралды 11,730
3 жыл бұрынIn this episode we replace drive belts and clean the lenses on our Code 3 XL Lightbar. We give a quick walk around of the emergency lights including the Code 3 oscillating light installed in the front grill. Work has begun removing the reflective white stripe (which was added later in the rig's life by the city garage), and next time we will be replacing the siren!
As always, thanks for watching!

It's cool to see you do some restoration on this lightbar to bring it back up to speed! I love rotating lights way more than modern l.e.d.'s and strobes. Rotating lights are just classic and have more "pop flash' effect.

I just wanted to thank you for this video as I just received my new belts for the Code 3 XL lightbar on my 1985 GMC 7000 fire engine and I've never changed the belts on one before so this video is very helpful. Hopefully I can get the belts done and the battery's recharged today so I can get the old girl started and moved around a bit and maybe she'll make it to the July antique fire apparatus muster and parade near me. Thank you again.

Oh also I forgot to mention that your Mack is a great looking rig. I really like it. Have a good day.

We actually were able to buy the same lightbar in perfect condition at a fire flea market for very cheap! So we'll have our lightbar expert swap out the lenses.
