TheNyarcangel got 2 sayings, Detroit diesel is the only engine in the world that converts fuel into noise and noise makes them go, and the other is the best way to convert diesel into snake is to put it into a Detroit diesel
I remember coming across my first terex when they were grading for a newer hood plant in Western NY. I had to repair a tire on it. Was intimidated by it by its size and sound, I was in my late teens at the time. Kinda scared, sounded like an angry old monster with a 671 in it. But a very cool old machine. To be honest I forgot about Detroit s until a few years ago. Then I remembered that sound from just a truck and I was in awe.
Wow,these old machines running,,,congratulations,,,keep in a safe place ,avoiding the rain,with a good painting,,,these will work for many years .very good video Daily diesel dose,,,thanks,,,Daniel,from Argentine
I ran an S24 Water Pull for Goodfellow Bros. here in Hawai`i. Fucker had some serious power for water delivery & dust control...the best water pull I EVER ran was the S24with the 12V71...
I would faint if I was close to these spooky loud machines! Even more if it was late at night with them at idle. Still, Detroit Diesel makes amazing sound (the two strokes)
I run A TS18 for several years.. 8V71 front engine and 6V71 rear engine.. enjoyed my seat time..hell I even enjoyed running the baby of the terex family TS14
+Lewie McNeely absolutely.. the 14s were great for steep and narrow work. seemed to hold onto a steep grade like a mountain goat. seen alot of caterpillar scrapers on their sides or upside down.. but never seen a 14 do anything but steady haul dirt!
@@fionacumming1113 Run along Fiona, we don't want to listen to Troll Talk from some dufus that doesn't know what they are talking about! Take a look in the mirror--there will be a clown looking back.
I wasn't around the sea Bees much and didn't know yall were blessed with those green green things. I ran one nights on a dam job and that 6-71 would vibrate the fillings in your teeth loose when they passed you. With the 12-V right beside me I could hear a little hiss out of the back engine. They went good but sure made the racket. I liked the TS-14's better but none better still.
My Uncle Bud, Sowle was a Commander in the SEABEES.. He was aall over the world but home base & his last command was Davisville R.I. (before it was closed) I remember going there with him, as a kid & watching the trainees learn how to run these things.. I loved it... still love the big American scrapers & equipt.
Im so sad that all this got poached for their engines.... this must have been an impressive fleet for the time and built America. If I had known about this, and that you're saying these units sold for $3,000 or less I would have bought at least 4 of them and kept in-tact. Timing is everything...... missed the boat bigtime here
They were probably just sold off for their engines I do understand why, they're not going to ever be worth the money that'd you'd put into one to get it in nice condition That being said I'd rescue all of them if I had the space, time, and money lol Thanks for the video, now thousands of people on the internet will enjoy them
I remember the collective hard-on old iron fans had when news of this auction broke. It's just so much bad-assery in one place. Didn't a bunch of the scrapers get sold and saved?
Ethan Utter..... Not IF everything is "right" they don't.... however, fuel that has been sitting in the tanks for a while may have accumulated moisture, which would indicate so, by the whitish colored exhaust smoke... and letting them idle like that only adds to the problem as the cylinders on the two cycles will run too cold at a dead idle and will cause the fuel to "shelac" the cylinder walls. Could also be an indication of leaking blower seals on the drive end which would be putting oil into the airflow and therefore into the airbox and cylinders and coking up the intake ports when hot, which further compounds the problem. Too many operators of Detroits, especially during the 60's, and all through the 70's and early 80's were notorious for Not doing preventative maintenance and resealing the blower(s) before they would start leaking and sucking the oil (which was under pressure) into the airflow, causing all kinds of leak and running issues. When the "Silver" Series was released, the rubber blower seals had been replaced with neoprene and pretty well ended that issue.... at least in terms of longevity before they would need any attention. I've known owners to actually remove the blower from the engine, and send the engine in for a complete rebuild, then put the non-rebuilt blower back on the fresh engine (Especially the 8-71's in trucks), and then wonder why and curse the engines for "blowing up" in 50,000 miles or less.... it was their own ignorance and stupidity that caused the problem in the first place. The 2 cycle Detroits (GM Diesel Power prior to mid-1965) were tremendous engines and would run forever with incredible reliability IF they were properly maintained and run.... and "opening them up" only served to enhance that legendary reliability. In the marine world, Detroit diesels "owned" a whopping 82% of the total World market share for boats/small ships up to 2,500hp!! It was the US EPA that put the stranglehold on them supposedly for emission reasons, however they are Still being produced New in the form of the 6V53T and 8V92T and TTA's for military use, not only in the US, but for other miltary's as well. They were even produced under license in Russia during WW2, for their miltary trucks and some tanks, of course it was the 6-71 engine, as it was the "big horse" of the era from GM Diesel Power.
No that believe in a engine that can't be beat because no other diesel engine can sit a run full throttle all day and night and run in reverse like a Detroit engine
Every time a Detroit comes to life....a Prius dies
TheNyarcangel hahaha
YAYYYYY, i am going to go start my detroit
TheNyarcangel got 2 sayings, Detroit diesel is the only engine in the world that converts fuel into noise and noise makes them go, and the other is the best way to convert diesel into snake is to put it into a Detroit diesel
Maybe even 1 1/2!
GOOD!!!!!!
When the machines that built America had names you could pronounce, & they were their business,, not a sideline of your toaster & microwave division

The old Detroit’s just purr so well

Thank you friend.
thank you for the preservation for these beautiful machines,,,,Daniel Argentine,,,ex mechanic.

It would've been cool to see those old scrapers in action. There's just something about an old Detroit screaming that kinda makes me grin. Stay safe.
Might be gritting your teeth. After about 10 or 12 hours banging around it gets that way.
My old man ran these in the 90s, they made them through the 80s, some serious machines.
71 series gm did a lot of work in many applications that led the way for things now
its...its...beautiful...brings a tear to the eye!

14's did about the rough steep narrow work here. They'd go like anything!

Man you couldn't push a child's pushchair never mind diesel power man be a clown.
The ts24 I ran had 1271 in front and 692 in rear. Great power

not a mosquito in sight
And there won't be for decades. lol
those were and still are damn good machines they should not be scrapped what so ever those machines have a story to tell
Some still survive. A few were going to have engine removed for generator sets.
@@Dailydieseldose315 thanks for the response i do like those machines they built america
Please put that as my white noise machine so I can sleep soundly 😴
Still use these motors in ferries on Long Island ny south shore. All summer all day.
They just work. No need to mess with success.
Thank you for the tour!
More to come from this place soon...
Nice ! You'll have to open up a hood or two for us.
Terex and Detroit Diesel were both devision of GM right
Yes, sir!
no euclid was. GM had to give up its heavy equipment line in some anti trust deal then came terex
Admiral troll thanks I had forgotten about Euclid
it can get complicated keeping track of who owns what and such
Wow. I never knew this. I grew up in a Concrete Family. Love this stuff
Say what you want but there are STILL outfits around that STILL run green scrapers. Terex made one hell of a scraper
The 24's were V-12's. The TS's were 12-V's in front, 6-71's in back with a straight pipes. A 14 was 4-71's both ends.
old bug eye ts24 had 6-110 in them for a time
110 was a fine engine all right.
I ran TS-24's for the Seabees in RVN 67/68 and you are correct about the straight pipe exhaust. That's why my hearing is crap now..
I wasn't around the sea Bees much and didn't know yall were blessed with those green green things. I ran one nights on a dam job and that 6-71 would vibrate the fillings in your teeth loose when they passed you. With the 12-V right beside me I could hear a little hiss out of the back engine.

Somebody PLEASE save those powerwagons.
On the dam job there was a fleet of TS's and another fleet of S's too. Pans all over the place and 9-G pushers. S's were blocked off in 5th gear.
Detroit 12v71 ultimate man cave ornament!
Cool machines So basic yet so Powerful. great video.
Love a buzzin dozen
cj7laredo1 heard a NASA KW with a buzzin dozzen
you heard one of the fabled NASA KWs with a buzzin dozzen luucky
I want one to mow my yard with
And in the right hands they could probably move another million yards of dirt.
Nothing sounds like a 2 stroke Detroit. Add air and fuel and it makes noise.
Strange how some companies buy new stuff when these could be bought for little money and used. They all look in working order
Amazing stuff sir!
I still smell like diesel exhaust.
What used to push load them?Would have loved to been there
Nice I would love to operate one
joe terex came about when gm bought out euclid then had to sell the division to terex because of a anti trust lawsuit
Im so sad that all this got poached for their engines.... this must have been an impressive fleet for the time and built America. If I had known about this, and that you're saying these units sold for $3,000 or less I would have bought at least 4 of them and kept in-tact. Timing is everything...... missed the boat bigtime here
And they put the mufflers right next to the cab. That's just wrong.
Glad to see those Terex scrapers being recycled.
I remember playing on these as a child. 😀😬🤷♂️ They used them to ready the land, field, for housing development. 👷♂️🏡🏠
This was the 1980s
That's were the love a trucks and heavy equipment started for most of us.
Good old AMERICAN equipment,,
Bet they could still do a days work.. The sand pit I haul out of is still using old Euclid & TRex quarry trucks..
Is that syracuse ny??
There is not a sound nicer than a detroit.
They were probably just sold off for their engines
I do understand why, they're not going to ever be worth the money that'd you'd put into one to get it in nice condition
That being said I'd rescue all of them if I had the space, time, and money lol
Thanks for the video, now thousands of people on the internet will enjoy them
That's exactly what happened. If I had the money and just a little knowledge I would have the best big kid sandbox around!
Love this
I remember the collective hard-on old iron fans had when news of this auction broke. It's just so much bad-assery in one place. Didn't a bunch of the scrapers get sold and saved?
Well, they did sell but as I understand they were parted out for their Detroits.
These machines could crush the Crusher. Or at least they could bury it.
Those engines need rat rods now lol.
Diseal last forever no matter how old they are
Happen to know what they sold for?
No more than 3,000 a piece.
@@Dailydieseldose315 that's really a shame
They smoke when they arent warmed up yet

nomon95 475 no t bo,525 turbo on 1271s,you can fuel m up to 700
Ok,,thanks for your answer
Серьезные аппараты!
What are you doing in there lol
Detroit is the toughest longest lasting diesel there is. Sorry Cummings and clatterpillar.
all of those are Euclid scrapers.
TEREX,,, div. Of GM.
What the f..k is a noise dampener in a engine puts damn muffler on it if it's to loud
Sold me 3

starting fluid is not good for diesel engines at all.
hard to stand watching cold and old/unserviced engines being revved up this way...or is it simply "masculine"? Definitely unprofessional.
