This is a 1966 Aeromotor LS 40 fire tower. Selling the top 60 ft of this tower, which when assembled is 71 ft to the top of the hip roof. This tower was only recently taken down and is still in good condition. Original windows are intact and operable. Wooden stairs treads and landing planking will need to be replaced. The cabin roofing is still sound, but the sheet metal siding will need to be replaced. I can provide the sheet metal siding and stair treads and landings for an additional cost. I also offer assembly of the fire tower to completion on site for an additional charge.

This tower is disassembled and located in AuSable Forks NY.

Price is $22,500.

Please contact Mike at 1(518) 524-6891 or thruwood@gmail.com with any questions.
