To my knowledge all 92 thru 94 Seagraves are off of FDNY's roster. Does anyone know of any department that has bought one of these pumpers? If so, any pictures?
 
I believe the only 1992 left is the spare "Frankensquad"...and the only 1994 left is Reserve Squad 800...all of the other 1992 through 1996 Seagraves are indeed gone.  Many of the 1997 Seagraves are gone as well.  The Reserve fleet is made up of a lone 1997 at Reserve Engine 505, while the rest are 1998's.  The spare fleet is mainly 2000 - 2002 Seagraves, with some older 1997 - 1999's.

And with them went the "ross relief valve"!
 
not all of them are gone Engine 94 is currently using a 1993 seagrave spare engine
 
I think E 94 is using a 1997 - they look almost the same from the rear...I am positive all the 1993's are gone...there would be no reason to keep one 1993 as a spare when all of the Reserves are 1997/1998 - they are traditionally the oldest pumpers on the roster.

any chance next time you see it you can get a picture of this? because when we went to the shops annex in october where they keep the reserves there oldest engine i saw was a like a 1997 or 1998 and the oldest truck i saw was a 1994. The only engine i can think of that looks like a 93 that might still be around is one of the very few 96's but even that is doubtful.

94 Engine is using a 97, unless it changed in the past few weeks.  I worked there recently and they had a '97 spare.  As far as I know, every '93 is gone.  Almost all of the 71 new engines are in service.  This would leave a tremendous amount of spares from the '97-'01 years.  There is definitely no need for any of the '93s.  The oldest of the spares I've worked on were '94 tower ladders.  Those should be all gone now, with the delivery of new '75ers.

Engine 94 is using a 93 engine and the 94 tower ladders are still in service as spares
 
There have been several postings regarding 92, 93, and 94 Seagrave pumpers, etc.  Most relate to what year spare is being used by Engine 94.  Observation at yesterday's 5-5, confirmed at the shops today, shows that it is NOT a 1993 Seagrave.  The spare they having been using for some time and are using today is a 1997, SP9727, originally assigned to Engine 152. The only 1993 spare Seagrave pumper still on the roster is SP9334H, a high-pressure 1000gpm originally assigned to Engine 258 and used exclusively as a spare for any of the engine companies with HP pumpers assigned (Engines 6, 8, 10, 26, 34, 54, 65, 258).
 
There is also one 1992, SP9210 (a retrofitted spare Squad) and one 1994, SP9414, also a retrofit, Reserve Squad 800.
 
OK FDNYBUFF97 does Engine 94 rig have a grill in front or is it the rotating figure 8. If it has a grill it is a 97 or newer.
 
If you look at the Hunt's Pt. 5th alarmer you can see E94's spare rig right by L48. The members were directing a master stream from it and there are A/C units on the roof. If it has A/C units on the roof then it's not a '92, '93 or '94 rig, END OF ARGUMENT! ;)
