In 1976 it was replaced by a new DAF watertender. Nowadays this DAF watertender is in the DAF museum in Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

Louis: you have got us a very interesting Front-Mount Pump here; and love the body-work, very distinctive look.

The simplicity of a Front-Mount is very appealing - can see at a glance what your hoses are, good view of fire-scene, and close to the engine and cab-controls and radio.

Glad to see this one has been preserved.

Regards, from Canada,
