That's a 1973 Seagrave tractor drawn ladder truck you're looking at. The truck reflected in the wheel is an old Sutphen tower ladder, since replaced by a new Sutphen tower ladder. For a shot of the new Sutphen, check out the second photo in this entry. I'll take a gleaming white tiller truck over an ordinary red engine any day of the week. Here's a neat site from Cincinnati that details that department's long history with tiller trucks.
