I understand the hate these engines get, but also, I still love them. The noise, the abuse they can take, the ability to interchange parts from biggest to (basically) the smallest engines. GM did a glorious job making an easy to build workhorse engine. And hearing 3 at once being pushed is just... to me beautiful music!
First time I ever heard a Detroit engine was in a Michigan front loader, next was an excavator, then a back hole, finally in trucks to, then I had to remind myself where have I heard that engine before, then it came to me in city buses, lmao I was about 7 years the first time i heard one of screaming demons, they catch my attention every time I hear one, that's a absolute beast of an engine 💯
Total agreement.... they were a beautiful mess of an engine... they were fuel hogs, they were useful at a limited RPM range... but... they would take years of abuse and neglect and just keep going.....We used them in fire trucks and they would get the shit run out of them.... and NEVER EVER FAIL.....
Helped an old guy start a terex dump truck at a show when i was 13, he always kept it floored and i thought he was mad and that it was gonna blow. a year later, i learned about detroits and put two and two together. I hope him and his truck are well.
The summer before I went off to college I got a summer job with a grading company. My job was to drive an old dozer pulling a sheepsfoot compacting the fills. After a while I cajoled my way to running a “double barrel Euc” as our crowd called them. Seven days a week 12 hours a day and I loved it so much I almost did not go off to college. I wanted full time on the Euc’s. But my daddy’s wisdom won out. I went to college but never afterwards had a job I wanted to get up in the morning a go to like that job. Now I am retired and for my hours upon hours listening to those Detroits I have an aggravating case of tinnitus interfering with my sleep and almost every year my dermatologist cuts off a precancerous piece of skin. But I’d cherish some more hours seated between two screaming Detroits hauling dirt.
i know its been a long time since you wrote that comment, but Im Kind of in the Same situation altough Im only 20 yo now. Worked construction with modern equipment in the Summer breaks and I absolutely Loved it. Later Bought a '79 4.5 Ton excavator and did some minor Jobs with it. Loved that too. Having finished my Higher education Iam however starting my First Software development Job soon. My question is do you regret Not listening to your gut and working with heavy Equipment?
@@woidviatlalausbua8699 Yes I regret not listening to my little boy plays with machine toys side of me. But it was my gut that told me to get the education and do the jobs that were never as much fun but gave me a more disciplined life so I could better provide for others.
I watched a large cut and fill job back in the early 80’s cat euc & Terex all did about the same but the real factor in the productivity was the cut Forman waving a long orange wand about 5 feet long directing each scraper operator where to drop the bowl dozers would get behind the next available in the stead convoy that cut Forman made things look so easy , but his job was not easy . He got a lot of exercise moving around. The bottom line was a job well planed and executed
All those 2 strokes are is screaming noise at high RPMs and the horsepower is at high RPMs! Some don’t have much horsepower if you want it they have to scream! The 92 series Detroits are more powerful than the older 71 series. These old iron make you go deaf screaming all day long moving earth. Real unstoppable machines
So enjoyed that in the mid 80s I built a dam wall in Rhodesia on my farm using 4 terex 14s and a Cat D8 to push them. The wall stands 28mts high and they did a beautiful job the dam still there to this day.
Dude that scraper made its own song if you had a program we could record just the scraper throwing up and throttling down you can make a song out of it I liked it
Worked with a converted Terex dozer roller crushing scrub on the east coast of New Zealands north island. It had the cab over the radiator and twin winches on the back where the fuel tank was . Cool bit of gear to hear working
This is a memory jerker - when I started work at 18 years old in 1971, I used to have to monitor the cycle times of a mixed fleet of scrapers, Terex TS 24s and Cat 957s on the motorway projects we had running at the time in the UK. The dozers were usually Cat D9s … Good memories ❤️🇬🇧🇷🇴
As a Navy Seabee in 1969, we had just taken delivery on TS24's but, were not allowed to operate them yet ! So that meant we were stuck with the MRS scraper 4wd prime movers w/v 671 and push cat IH TD20's, get'er'done's
When I was a kid I ran a straight truck with a cabover and a pup trailer and it had a 318 Detroit always ran good. I helped run a road grader in high school that had a detroit and it was pretty loud and now I collect military trucks and have a HEMTT 977 with an 8V92 detroit the engine is behind the cab and its once of the nicest trucks I have ever owned. The loudest detroit I have ever run was a US military Gama Goat its a 6 wheel drive amphibious vehicle and it had a 3-53 detroit and the owner asked me to drive it to town to the truck show of course I said sure and I swear it made it about 100 yds before I stopped and ran back to get my ear muffs, that little engine was so loud it seriously hurt your whole head! Muffs made it much more enjoyable!
I was in a Army Reserve unit that had some Gama Goats. Good mobility, huge level of maintenance. And There was a strict rule that anyone in the vehicle had to have earmuff type ear protection, no stick foam in your ears like on the rifle range.
I've got a 1966 Clark CHY-100 forklift, that had the option of a 3-53 Detroit for the diesel. Mine doesn't have it, has a Continental F-244 gas flathead straight six. I wish it did have the 3-53, even if they are some screaming little bastards.
I love a Detroit! They can wreck your hearing and vibrate the fillings out of your teeth! But the pros and using them where they shine makes all of the cons worth it. Pros: Relative simplicity, Uses unit injectors instead of one big expensive injection pump, RELIABILITY, easy to repair modular designs, and now you can find them cheap if not free! One special ability of Detroit 2 stroke diesels is that if you set it up properly you can allow a "controlled runaway, " UNDER LOAD, basically a purposeful override of the governor which allows the true maximum speed and fuel delivery. This is particularly useful in marine applications and in fact the Navy used this ability extensively for reaching "flank speed." Most famously in the landing craft of D-Day. The Detroits are very capable of withstanding a good deal more RPMs and fuel consumption for brief periods when allowed. Only under load was this done to prevent a true and likely damaging overspeed. Can you imagine being a soldier in a landing craft on D-Day.... you've left the mothership and are coming within range of German costal artillery.... with a shouted warning for the men to keep low, suddenly, the already screaming twin Detroit diesels reach a never before heard pitch. The exhaust output doubles, blackening the air behind each craft above the boiling wake. Nobody's sure how long the Jimmy's can take it but as the Germans open fire, nobody cares. Every bit of speed means American lives make it to the beach. Unbelieving, the German defenders above on the cliffs are presented with a wall of steel targets charging the beach suddenly much faster than a moment ago. The smoke is so thick it's helping to screen the Allied invaders. Then the sound hits, a terrifying, furiously screaming howl akin to a squadron of fighters piloted by the devils own banshees assaults their ears, and their hearts begin to race. Not believing their eyes and ears the Germans grip their machine guns tightly, suddenly very unsure of the battles outcome.
@@narcissistinjurygiver2932 look around old lay up yards for trucks and equipment. If you're on the coast a great place to look is boatyards and small vessel drydock repair facilities as very often Detroits are getting swapped for more efficient engines and the Jimmy's are basically scrapped!! I engineered on fishing boats in Alaska for years and have literally seen them rusting on the beach in rows... you either love or hate well....or tolerate a Detroit Diesel! There's no denying that there are much more efficient and powerful engines available now, in the same weight class. So folks are refitting all the time and VERY OFTEN the Detroit they are taking out are still great runners. I (damn near with tears in my eyes) saw a massive seine skiff in the Seaview East boatyard in Ballard, Washington, with the hull cut in half to remove guess what... a turbocharged V8-92 Detroit that had low hours since rebuild and ran PERFECTLY, Swapped for a six cylinder turbo Catapillar. They couldn't find a buyer for the big ol girl soon enough to suit them and sold it scrap! I talked to them about how awesome it was and they had good reasons for switching. (Honestly that's FAR more motor than just about any seine skiff needs and it was thirsty.... they said I could have it!! But damn I didn't have any way to transport, load unload or store it! So that's where my eyes got Misty watching it get rolled into a giant container truck with a front loader. The green paint streaks where they drug her across the pavement, the oil where she bled from having her oil pan smashed in, and then dropped 15 feet into a scrap dumpster. .. there ya go. That's what they call "progression"
Thanks to GM head Charles Kettering’s son for invention of the 71 series and the 567 EMD locomotive and WWII LSTs V12 engine. I was surprised when rebuilding my 4-71 powered grader to find rubber grommets in the head. With both air and water cooling these engines stay on the cool side. Noisy, yes but the 53 series are louder.
I was a machinist at Terex (General Motors) in Hudson Ohio from 1973 till 1981. I’m retired now. We were a union shop, UAW. Great benefits, great pay. Was one on my best jobs. Komatso would always underbid us on contracts, (their government would subsidize the bid so they would win the bid). Foreign competition ( with help from their governments) put us out of business.
@@oldstudbuck3583 your right. From the mid 70’s on, both sides sold the working man down the river. The politicians let the GOOD paying jobs go overseas and kept the fast food jobs here. Now our kids and grandkids are gonna suffer. We should have stopped it when it began, but the politicians and media made it look like a good thing to open up trade with the Far East.
Awesome video, Thanks. Terex videos are rare on RUclips so it's nice to see new postings again on these Roaring Jimmy's. I have a 82-40 I am trying to get roaring down here in South Africa so these posts are great motivation for me.
Fire the scraper operator! Spinning wheels in the cut is a no-no. Let the dozer do the work. Also, he's carrying the bowl too high on his way back to the cut, dangerous. Just another cowboy.
They have backup alarms, but you cant hear them over the engine. There wasnt a muffler made that could silence them old 2 strokes! You cant bog them or they will burn up, thats why they are always screaming revs.
TS-24's, 18's, B-70's and 72-71's were stock in trade on the Alaska pipeline, as my hearing can attest to. Personally, I leaned yellow. But the green machines did a huge amount of work. It all evolves into the earthmovers of today and what they look like and how they perform. The green machines had a huge impact in the industry and how it has evolved.
They need a muffler on that 40 real bad, thats brutal to listen to. That 14 with two 4-71s you can barely hear run. Much more sideways pushing and they will need some new rear tires and a rad or two for the back of that 14, Brutal to watch.... Always amazed me at the goo that thoses 14s would draw thru, Best soft ground scraper Ever built. Its ok, you can hate on me Cat guys !!!
My goodness. 50 years ago a summer when i was in college i operated a pan like this stripping topsoil in new subdivision streets with a pusher just like that dozer. Probably the reason i wear hearing aids today. Man that pan was a beast. Memories.
.My Dad run Earthmovers for 25 and more years in Michigan. Hook 2 together and you were a push an pull.... The good o days building Interstate high ways.
From what I know about scrapers and pushers: push in a straight line. The job should have been planned to allow straight-line pushes. No turning allowed while being loaded. Spinning the wheels: a huge no-no. Tires are costly. They are a big percentage of owning and operating costs. Let the dozer do the work of obtaing the load. Maybe in this case of heavy earth/clay mix, a larger pusher might be needed. Another no-no: trying to obtain a heap every load. There's something called a load-growth curve: material flows into the bowl easily at first. At some point, resistance of the material already in the bowl slows the incoming material until it stops filling. It takes much more time to get the last few yards in than the first yards. Don't waste time excessively pushing. Remember, the point is TO MOVE AS MUCH material as possible, not wasting time heaping a load. Keep the cycle times as short as possible and move the earth!! All of the mistakes seen here raise the cost per yard of material moved. A good video nevertheless, but boy, those Detroits scream!! Those guys probably hear that in their sleep!
The land owner insisted that an excavator would be faster and let the excavator start first before having some issues with moisture hence they dug a 20ft sump in the deep end. The large hole we are working around is why in the video were pushing around curves. The rest of the acre and a half pond was all straight pushes and was dug in 2 days over memorial day weekend, so I’d say we did perfectly fine production pushing with equipment from the 70s
These guys must be amateurs,just playing,not operators, wheels spinning, overloaded ,dozer pushing and scraper almost jackknifed, im not a driver, fitter many moons ago .
Scraperhand stop traveling with your can all the way up loaded or empty, cuz you're gonna lay that scraper over if you don't and it's a smoother ride with your cutting edge a foot off the ground instead of 2 feet.... Dozerhand, set up near the cut so you're traveling less and tag the stinger of that scraper straight on, cuz if you push the scraper at an angle around a corner, you will catch the scraper tire with the corner-bit of that dozerblade... Tires aren't cheap... Otherwise, nice job moving some material...
Sound of their own. The dozer operator should be way more to his left when the scraper comes into the cut so he has a more direct straight push onto him. Looked like not ideal conditions mind you.
Most scrapers seem to look like they just power right out. Even though that ones getting a push its able to spin its wheels👌 Pretty impressive old iron👍
Maybe it's just me, but the dozer seems to be the only one that you really hear 'screaming'... The scraper seems to make more of a high-pitched whistle sound?....
😊 como operador estuve la oportunidad de trabajar con estás máquinas y fue genial 😸 me recuerdos q el sistema que el fuerza propurzado con líquido de freno 🎉

It all evolves into the earthmovers of today and what they look like and how they perform. The green machines had a huge impact in the industry and how it has evolved.
I always seem to think to myself"they don't make em like they used ta- and that's a good thing!!!!"
They need a muffler on that 40 real bad, thats brutal to listen to. That 14 with two 4-71s you can barely hear run. Much more sideways pushing and they will need some new rear tires and a rad or two for the back of that 14, Brutal to watch.... Always amazed me at the goo that thoses 14s would draw thru, Best soft ground scraper Ever built. Its ok, you can hate on me Cat guys !!!
Boy, having to listen to that wine of those Detroit’s all day would get old fast. A 1960’s city bus x 10 lol😅
Love sound of an old screamin demon
Old double barrel belly dragger pan! Love it!!
Hopefully will have the rest of the fleet up and operational by next spring
I like the sounds and the green dozer.
Would've bounced both operators off the job,loading like that...
Hard to fire the owners tough guy
@@jarodwilson9481B the only reason they gotta job lol
And the scraper driver would end up punching the dozer operator if he keeps licking up with the flat if the blade.
Experience has be lived watching the old and good operaters
My goodness. 50 years ago a summer when i was in college i operated a pan like this stripping topsoil in new subdivision streets with a pusher just like that dozer. Probably the reason i wear hearing aids today. Man that pan was a beast. Memories.
What did you say
Over 30 years working on GMs as a service technician, got 24/7 ringing in my ears to prove it.

The "GREEN NEW DEAL " proudly brought to you by Terex and Detroit
Love it...the original‘Green New Deal’
Can you imagine operating one of those units all day w/out hearing protection!
@@dmotzing WHAT???
Man that's music to my ears
How awesome is this
Cool video,but experienced scraper operators drive with the pan lower.
And yet they’re still hauling dirt, this new electronic and DEF junk will be long dead and these will still be moving dirt.
O how I don't miss riding one these double barrels all day long
.My Dad run Earthmovers for 25 and more years in Michigan. Hook 2 together and you were a push an pull.... The good o days building Interstate high ways.
Super Kool..!
Nice you got them all running nice. Awesome old school machines.
Ótimo vídeo. Obrigado por compartilhar.
Great video and good muck about for the lads.
Sounds like maximum overdrive
I heard them all the way over from my place 3 miles away
Great video, it makes feel like it's 1969 again.
After two days straight i felt like i was 69
I bet you did ,I spent some time on 14,s and I know exactly what you went through .
From what I know about scrapers and pushers: push in a straight line. The job should have been planned to allow straight-line pushes. No turning allowed while being loaded. Spinning the wheels: a huge no-no. Tires are costly. They are a big percentage of owning and operating costs. Let the dozer do the work of obtaing the load. Maybe in this case of heavy earth/clay mix, a larger pusher might be needed. Another no-no: trying to obtain a heap every load. There's something called a load-growth curve: material flows into the bowl easily at first. At some point, resistance of the material already in the bowl slows the incoming material until it stops filling. It takes much more time to get the last few yards in than the first yards. Don't waste time excessively pushing. Remember, the point is TO MOVE AS MUCH material as possible, not wasting time heaping a load. Keep the cycle times as short as possible and move the earth!! All of the mistakes seen here raise the cost per yard of material moved. A good video nevertheless, but boy, those Detroits scream!! Those guys probably hear that in their sleep!
If you are trying for efficiency, I’m guessing you wouldn’t use Terex Equip from the 70s….Just a guess.
@@mar3264 Perhaps these are "hobby" machines on a private job? Don't know.
@@mariotorres6287 Really shouldn’t have a machine without a ROPS on a commercial site, osha gets cranky about that.
The land owner insisted that an excavator would be faster and let the excavator start first before having some issues with moisture hence they dug a 20ft sump in the deep end. The large hole we are working around is why in the video were pushing around curves. The rest of the acre and a half pond was all straight pushes and was dug in 2 days over memorial day weekend, so I’d say we did perfectly fine production pushing with equipment from the 70s
These guys must be amateurs,just playing,not operators, wheels spinning, overloaded ,dozer pushing and scraper almost jackknifed, im not a driver, fitter many moons ago .
Used to go full noise and drop the bowl, half full B4 the dozer pushed :):)
Don't even have to be near a Detroit now days ears still hearing it. Ringggggg buzzzzzzzz
Bulldozer is DEFINITLEY louder than other at 0:53, as you can hear the difference!!
Thats the truth lol
I operated them when they were called Euclid.
At least you don’t have to worry about DEF fluid in those 😎👍👍
Or having to clean or replace a particulate filter. And best of all you don't have to do a damn re-gen.
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed!
You Did good Man!!!!
Great!!
Love them screaming Detroit's
Nice.👍👍👍
Scraperhand stop traveling with your can all the way up loaded or empty, cuz you're gonna lay that scraper over if you don't and it's a smoother ride with your cutting edge a foot off the ground instead of 2 feet.... Dozerhand, set up near the cut so you're traveling less and tag the stinger of that scraper straight on, cuz if you push the scraper at an angle around a corner, you will catch the scraper tire with the corner-bit of that dozerblade... Tires aren't cheap... Otherwise, nice job moving some material...
I thought the exact same thing.
Cool old equipment
They always sound like there going to blow up strainging so hard lol
Sound of their own. The dozer operator should be way more to his left when the scraper comes into the cut so he has a more direct straight push onto him. Looked like not ideal conditions mind you.
First person to comment that didn’t actually think it was an easy straight push
THis dude aint no scraper operator for dam sure
Come run the clapped out thing and id pay to see you run it better. Has no hydraulics unless its floored and wont steer half the time when it doeswork
Hammer beasts
Love the old school stuff but dang that thing is loud
Good though the teacher couldn't hear what you said
Yea baby 😝
That guy sure knows how to load a Pan.
no
Most scrapers seem to look like they just power right out. Even though that ones getting a push its able to spin its wheels👌 Pretty impressive old iron👍
DETROIT DIESEL: The soundtrack of work getting DONE!!!
I spent maney years working with trex scrapers learn to keep the bowel down push in a straight line
I saw an oil leak!
old ts14 terex spent many hours on one when i was young. The dozer was the same asthis one
Great stuff!! Proper loud green meanies! Can't even hear the scrapers TWO 4-71s for the 8V71!
Hell yeah let it eat 👍
Operated an 8240 logging dozer, it had an 8V-71, powerful sumbitch, absolutely screamed… a D-8H is way easier to listen to.
It was much better when the muffler was still on it but it broke last winter amd i said to hell with it
@@jarodwilson9481 I understand completely, a box of earplugs is cheaper than a new muffler. 😎👊
They sound like they are screaming, but their rpms are pretty much the same as a 4 stroke diesel.
Maybe it's just me, but the dozer seems to be the only one that you really hear 'screaming'... The scraper seems to make more of a high-pitched whistle sound?....
😊 como operador estuve la oportunidad de trabajar con estás máquinas y fue genial 😸 me recuerdos q el sistema que el fuerza propurzado con líquido de freno 🎉
those dam things built america
