Hard to believe that someone would invest that much money in a Euc and not wear out the factory set of tires. Awesome truck and a lot of thought into the design.
Love the Euclids...most enjoyable job I ever had..
Very enjoyable video. Love those old trucks I would see in passing as a kid in the 60's.
@PAmining hi, i actualy run one of these in mission bc canada at stave lake quarries. weve got both the cummins and the detroit. our 201LD has no mufflers! it goes from the manifolds to the dump box and out, nice and loud. pulls pretty hard from a stop even with 100,000lbs on its back. thanks for the vid! very accurate
Love the Terex and Euclid stuff! Keep up the great work.
We will!
LOVE these old equipment vids, I hope you are making some good money for your time. Thank you Sir.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
she sure is a beauty... now thats old school at its best. .... a classic tale of beauty & beast all in one. great find. thanks for posting.
I'm surprised that a truck this clean and straight isn't still being used somewhere. Nice vid!
Hi dude another great video, in the U.K. They were Terex R50 basically the same truck but different nose on them front wings and still had leaf springs on the front , love all the old iron you find man
I enjoyed your video very much. when is was about 5 years old, my father built chalet style ski cabins in the cascade mountains of washington state. there were major road and development projects in the vicinity. i recall actually getting to ride in a Euclid dumb truck as my mother and i stood by the road !! it was an experience i never forgot. i thought i was in heaven and surely the driver of this giant truck had to be superman himself. thanks for interesting video. E.R., Seattle
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it!
Love the walkarounds justin!!! keep em up!
Nice truck. Amazingly good condition for something that had probably been retired for a decade.
Oh I know, I've heard em and they sound awesome! Thanks and will do.
PAmining, I cant seem to post a video response but ive got a video of our old 201LD doing a little driving, no mufflers but still through the dump box, pretty loud lol. nice truck and video thanks!
Euclid is awesome. Thanks
Awsome truck Euclids are my favorite mining trucks!
Great Truck but also great Video. Many thanks!
That's a big Detroit. Damn.
She is a beauty, it's something about that green metal!
PAmining yes that color is beautiful.. lol
Nice Euclid truck 🚜👍
beautiful beast
Hola amigo espero que estes bien! Soy dominicano y me gustan los equipos pesados. En mi pais habia una empresa americana se llamaba la ALCOA que tenias buenos equipos viejos,pero ya no estas. Pienso que podia hacer buen documental de esos equipos.
Nice video! It's realy interesting
Euclids are super cool!
love to see this truck in a “Will She Start ?” video
Thanks man, you can just imagine how noisy this beast would be! I'll make sure I correct that in future videos.
That's so cool! Thank you. I'd never seen an in depth video of one of these before. It really looks like a Tonka truck.
@PAmining That would be an amazing sound!! A 2-stroke DD that big would be heard for miles! It would be fun to run that truck for a bit, but everyday might get a little loud, haha.
There is a Terex 3305B with a 8V-71 DD right near me that I really want to buy ($14,750), but it would be ridiculous to own it just to play around...damn! haha. Plus id have know where to park it..
in 1978 collins and may coal company in west liberty ky had 2 of these up in the crokett mine,, they were modified to haul 50 tons they said,, but i do know the engines in them both were cat v12s,, and the fuel tanks had been made bigger,,,,,, i worked the second of 2 shifts they run there,,,i did see one roll over on its side dumping at bottom of hill it went over so slow,, but when set back up it went fast,,, and started right up after mechanic said ok,, and ran the rest of the night,,,, colins claimed they would do 45 miles an hour,, i never found out you just didnt speed coming off hill....at that time collins also claimed they had the states largest blade on a dozer,,, big terex with a 21 foot long by 7 feet blade,,the ripper blades on the back were 6 feet long,,,
I used to drive an R-35 with a shot exhaust with a 12V-71. Never could get anybody to ride with me. ; ) There was a big dam job below here that used the R-50's with the 16-V's in them, straight to the bed from the exhaust valves. The guys that drove them said they'd raise the beds up a little to see the fire come out of the pipe. Yep, we all say "HUH??" a lot and lip read!! Good talk there PA.
Lewie McNeely Yeah the old Detroit's are noisy, which is one reason a lot of the old time operators are deaf! Thanks
PAmining wat-- WHAT??? : )
Good video
I never knew Detroit diesel made a 16v71 engine, I only thought the biggest was a 12v71. I bet that 16v71 has a bunch of torque and high rpms since it's a 2 stroke
The old drivers swore by them and were deaf as posts too. I'd like to have on in a Crakerbox with an 18 speed!
Even made a 24V-71
Tom Christman The original one size fits all engine. Something for everyone. Any layout you could think of.
GMC_Crackerbox_Truck...... Not only the 16V71N, but also a 24V71T though a bit later in time (1970's & 80"s)... and a "Special Build" Option of a 32V71T which was handled through Stewart Stevenson who did most - if not all of the "Special Build Options" and R&D for such options on behalf of GMDiesel/Detroit Diesel (was GM Diesel until 4/1965).
The 32V71 was constructed in the usual modular fashion (the Only exception being the 12V71) of two (2) V12's and a V6... and was used in certain marine and industrial (oilfield - mainly) applications, but not very many were built.... just like the 12V53N's that were available, also through S&S... for marine use, and less than one dozen of those (12V53N's) were ever built and sold.
I drive HEMTTs for the military. I like the older models with the 8v92 engines which are similar. man I love to hear them wide open!
I like old american desighns of trucks❤
i operate a terex R17 and R45 they are a really good trucks
First one I ever seen without headlights
IS the Euclid still at your mine or has it been cut up for scrap? Also, was it running when it got retired?
King of all DETROITS
That was a 12 speed. Shifted up one in every knotch. I drove one in 1970 that's when I started my 50yr trucking career. Yep a 12 speed
Great video.
Kyle
Whistlin diesel needs this truck
@19FD89 Euc's are cool!
PAmining i did not know euclid truck were detroit powered
Is the Differential lock-able?
I'd like to find out the cubic capacity for the engines too.
+G55STEYR To figure out the cubic in. displacement of the old Detroits.
Take and multiply 16 X 71 =1136 Cubic in.This works for any of the older Detroits.Number of cylinders times cubic inches per cylinder.
Very nice im sure she was a screamer!
Looks like Long Haul from the 80's transformers cartoons!
Most popular dumptruck in my country before the CAT 777 came.
A Sticker price would be very interesting as new
Man oh man! I bet this old girl has some bark!
we had that at operator school , so fucking loud lol
Great vid Justin!! I love the classic Euclids, especially with Detroit Diesel power!!
I noticed you always say the air tanks are filled with a "psi". PSI is a measurement not a gas (compressed air). Just some constructive criticism man : ).
How long were these vehicles expected to last in the industry?
+Charles Harris Back then everything was built to last a lifetime
The company that owned this Euc filed for bankruptcy. A lot of the older equipment was either scrapped or auctioned off I think
I enjoyed your videos I used to work strip minning coal in the 80s driving them kind of trucks
Those trucks were ahead of their time.. I mean C'mon what other trucks came with their own patio?
That truck is in pretty decent shape cosmeticly for almost 5yrs old. It probably ran when parked. I knew a quarry north of Boston that ran 5 of those. City cited them for noise complaints and they had to buy Cats
It's a wonder no one has tried to buy it and put it to work. Doesn't look to have many hours at all on it.
Oh yeah, you'd go deaf in a week driving this wihout ear plugs. Ever wonder why a lot of older operators who worked around this old iron have bad hearing. I would have liked to buy this one for myself, haha! Terex's are noisy trucks man! If I have to drive one of our 33-11's at work, I have ear plugs in.
What a shame just rotting away.
Where is this truck please don't say it went for scrap. And if I'm real lucky maybe aquierable ? I'd dearly like to know
Маск ?
Nice original truck if you guys ever decide you want to sell it let me know
it needs a Cummins engine rather than a detroit. Cummins last basically forever.
Awsome truck tho. i like them Euclids!
shame its sitting
