<body><div>HARDWICK – The Hardwick Fire Department continues to move forward with restoring the old Concord fire truck and getting it into the best mechanical condition possible for next year’s parade, when the truck will celebrate its 100th birthday.The department recently received the transmission back from Vintage Garage in Stowe with the clutch rebuilt. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1t9RYv_1Gxyt0hR00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1t9RYv_1Gxyt0hR00" width="1819" height="465" ></figure>The parts totaled $1,020.00, and labor was $3,434.00, bringing the total cost to $4,454.00. This has been by far the largest expense associated with the restoration, but it was necessary to keep the truck running and driving so it can continue participating in the towns’ Memorial Day parade for years to come.The last major item on the list for this winter is repairing the output shaft and yoke. Both have extensive wear. The department plans to leave the transmission out until the output shaft can be removed from the transfer case, and will likely begin that work within the next couple of weeks.If anyone knows of a shop that handles this type of repair, please reach out. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.</div></body>
