Thanks for watching.

Thanks, I am looking for more of these types of videos.

My grandson just started a driving Euclid dump at our earthing demo show this past August. He enjoys driving it around our show grounds.

I did not know that man have a name. Thanks for this comment also.

Yes..a lot of old hands used to say ..." To the workshop" Funny thing is the dump trucks R series.were virtually unbreakable.

A 777 fits in the bed of a 797.

@@awboat And that 797 fits in the bed of a Belaz haul truck.

I enjoy watching them at our shows. My grandson just started driving one this year.

These machines a just awesome to be around. We have a TC12 Dozer at our show that will be getting one of the engines replaced during our May show in Brownsville, PA. Thanks for your comment.

I had totally forgotten about the pedestrian bridges!

@@jimmccormick6091 the first one by 185th was slammed into by a raised bed dump truck about eight years ago and destroyed and they had to tear it down then have rebuilt it. But I’m not sure why they spent the money to rebuild it because those two pedestrian bridges the one by 185th St., and the other one closer down near 152nd were built after the freeway went through because so many people worked at Collinwood yards in the factories that walked over those bridges on the way to work. Of course today there’s hardly any of that volume of pedestrian traffic walking to work anymore so I’m not sure why they rebuilt that one.

I remember going to Euclid Mall or visiting friends in the eastern suburbs during the early 80s and seeings one parked off of I90 .

I don't even think they had cab fans yet. They did have heat for the winter.

i remember seeing these up at the rushvalley quarry off of swamp rd

Reminds me of my high school summers working construction for Tipton Construction...in the mid-seventies. Everything was 40 +years old...cable Bantams and Koehring excavators, Cat D8 cable dozers and a cool old Euc rock back dump with screaming Detroit!! Nothing had brakes...true wonder no one was killed! Always welding and getting a bigger hammer to fix stuff!!! Man, those were the days!! One day the old D8 got in bind and we had to take a track off. The mechanic was beating the heck out the link pin with a 12 lb sledge and it wasn't going to move. I said why don't you use the 90 lb pavement breaker with moil point. He stopped, looking at his helper, cursed, told him to pull the compressor over...we held that point up on that pin with 3 seconds on the lever - out it popped...

@@johnharrisonpippin7126 I worked as a field Mechanic for S. J. Groves, the equipment manager, Jim Hammel had us use the same trick, handheld rivet busters also worked well. We also had a 6" diameter shaft about 6 LF. long, held by a cable, used it as pin driver, was also VERY effective. ==

@@saulharrison5272 Yup I Travel to Rusland Feed mill Every Month and remembered them Well ! JD had a Host of those Eucs at one time Luv'em : )

I worked for Morrissey in Bethlehem Steel , drove an R-35

I drove one in the late 90s what a beast. Screaming demon ,rrrrrrrrr

I love old stories form older generations u can Learn a lot

Your training day was over when you jumped out for your life

Are you OK now.🚛

@@Ray-lo4hr yes

Thanks 👍

Speed'''' time is money

Beats being on pick and shovel

Same here...a rid down St Clair to Euclid Square Mall was all I wanted to do.

I believe Euclid was absorbed by Terex, also another GM acquisition......

Pretty sure Lincoln Electric now owns that building and it is the welding school.

It merged into VME, Volvo Michigan Euclid. Only the L320 descended off Michigan designs, the rest were Swedish designs. Only in recent years, Volvo bought the line of Terex rigid haulers

We have several Euclid machines at our show. I like to hear them run during the show.

The first true heavy duty off highway dump trucks and they built the first twin engine scrapers too

I hear ya 🍻🇺🇸

Did Terex buy them? My dad worked at Terex Scotland, but they all called it Euclid. Cool stuff, giant Tonka toys 👍

Clearly weren't among the best if they disappeared.

I fell the same. I am envolved with several groups that have these older earthmoving machines. I will be posting more videos of these events as they happen.

Glad you enjoyed it

Their minds were not warped

I know

@@coldspring624 , but their heads where dented, that's better.

Love the past movies

Thanks for watching!

"Po-town", huh?? I lived on Hooker Ave opposite Vassar, for 7 years...awesome town.

Thanks for subscribing. Hope that you like my future videos.

We have about 10 of them at our show in Brownsville, PA USA.

did`nt Parker schnable have a couple of these? Im sure his granpa had at least one.

We have several of these machining operating during our earthmoving show in Brownsville, PA. I will be posting videos of them on this channel.

Thank you so much 😀

We have several of these machines at our show and I got a change to drive one dump trucks this year to move some old asphalt, it was fun to drive around our haul roads.

I could not imagine having a fire burning to keep warm. Have you noticed how thin the guys were in these old videos?

@@EarthmoversofthePast yes, they were thin but so tough. Sure built a lot of highways and other projects with these mechanical marvels.

@@missesmew They did make a big change in our world. My father-in-law was a operating enginner from the 60's and he was surely a tough man.

You've got that right! Just look at "today's" machinery...air-conditioned cabs surrounded by tinted glass!! I'm 72, and -- when I was a kid, I was fascinated by earth-moving equipment. Euclids always captured me...especially scrapers, with diesel engines "fore-and-aft"...and, loud ones at that...probably Detroits.

@@ebf82234 nothing like them “screaming jimmies “!

You're welcome!

We have about 5 of them at our show grounds. I always like watching them haul dirt.

Back in August of 2023 I got some time behind the wheel of a Euclid R20 truck moving some broke up asphalt, that was my first time operating a truck that big, hope to get another chance to do it again. I have always like watching and operating old earthmoving machines. Thanks for your comment.

Such bullshit.

We have some of these trucks from the past at our show. My grandson just started driving them this year and really has fun doing it.

Do you have pictures or video of you operating this machine?

@@EarthmoversofthePast No the mine site location was in Tasu bc for Falcon bridge CO also Bucyrus Erie 71-B 6-71 engine and a 110 Bucyrus electric, year 1968. i am 75 years old.

@@Ray-lo4hr Ok, thanks. I was 8 years old.

Thanks for your comment. We have several of these machines at our show in Brownsville, PA.

Hope to have some Euclid video from a historical earthmoving show in Brownsville, PA.

No, sorry

We have about 7 trucks and 1 dozer at our show in Brownsville, PA.

Thanks for the comment. Hope to find more like it.

That would have been interesting working on those big trucks. I would have wanted the job of moving the trucks out of the factory to the storage area.

We still have several of these trucks running at the National Pike Steam Show in Brownsville,PA. I will be posting them operating after the shows this year.

That would have been a sight to see. I have liked earthmoving machines sense I was a kid and still at 62 years old. Thanks for the comment!

These trucks are still running all these years later.

Wondered about VME...what it meant. Thanks!!

​@John Harrison Pippin yes.... Volvo Michigan Euclid. Hitachi owns them now

That is interesting, would have liked to see that in person. I just love being around these old machines. Sorry for my delay in reading your comment.

>> at some point the loader and bottom dumpers were superseded by scrapers ?

If you watch you will see that they drive by the dumping site to make sure nothing is in that area then back in. Somewhat safe?

Even back then that should have been not acceptable.

More common sense than having to be told every move these days

I ran one for a couples of hours prior to one of our shows. I was very loud in the cab but was an enjoyable experience.

We have one of the crawlers at our show grounds in Brownsville, PA. Thanks for the comment.

They are awesome, we have several of them at our historical earthmover show in Brownsville, PA. My grandson is just starting to drive one of them at the show.

@@EarthmoversofthePast That is awesome. I would love to find one to actually put back in use. I am a chemical engineer however a little over 18 months ago I was leaving my house in Phoenixville to make the hour and a half commute (sometimes less) on my 1957 fully restored Harley Panhead and I was hit, flipped up , over and wrapped around a telephone pole by a Ford F350. The rear tire ran over my right leg nearly severing it .Thank God I fought and fought with the surgeons who had said I had less than 6 minutes left to live when I got to the hospital. I was struggling to breathe and it felt like I was drowning. The blood clots from the leg had dispersed to my heart and lungs. It has been a very hard lesson to learn that we are not invincible. To make a long story short I realized that life is too short to be doing something that we do not enjoy. I love welding, fabrication and machining along with small engine repair. I started a small engine repair business along with mobile welding and fabrication. I am slowly putting to gather a machine shop. I am also putting together a mobile machine shop as well because I am running into obsolete equipment with no available parts. I need a relatively small milling machine and a few other pieces of equipment.. As I said I am in Eastern Pa out near conshohocken. I would love to purchase one of those smaller Euclid trucks or even maybe a bottom dumper. One of those steaming 12 Euclid tracked crawler would be awesome.

​@@johnkoury1116 That you for sharing with me about your life. God sometimes has plans for of lives that my not make sense at first. I also enjoy working on just about anything mechanical. I have a shop that is setup for woodworking and metalworking. I am currently working on two old cable shovels and a crane. I don't know anyone that is selling any Euclid equipment but if you would like to see some of these old machines operating, we have two shows at Brownsville, PA. Best of wishing on your full recovery and your new career. Thanks for your comments.

@@EarthmoversofthePast Really cool, thank you. Hopefully we can get together sometime. I am really close to being able to start my YT channel. I know where there is a 1983 Yamaha three wheeler that was scrapped and left in the junk yard for 10 years . I found it three years ago when I was going to pick up a flatbed for my welding rig. Right now it is in an old barn with tons of stuff on top. I plan on using that to start my channel and then keep going. I found a Porsche 914 GT6 factory Race car clone in a Barnyard out near you. It is still on the trailer and I want to start restoring it. Are you on Facebook?

@@johnkoury1116 It sounds like you have plenty of projects for starting a successful KZfaq channel, it is interesting to me about how some of my videos do good and other just get less. I would recommend after starting your KZfaq channel is to check the analytics of your videos just to see how your well you are retaining your viewers. I am not currently using my Facebook account. You can always find me at the National Pike Steam Show in Brownsville, PA during and after the show events.

Now you know. These trucks are much slower that your dirt track racing machines, but they are awesome to be around during our shows.

@@EarthmoversofthePastMost dirt tracks use EUC tires to line the infield or around a light poles etc. I've learned not to hit them with a racecar, it doesn't end well. 🤕😅

That would be one heavy truck. We have a Euclid at our show the has dual engines and dual rear axles. The bed on this truck is wide with short sides, they named it "Big Ugly". Thanks for the comments.

They always had the weld fab shop put extended side boards on our haul trucks. I was in the crusher control room and asked the operator how much was the 240 ton haul truck was hauling. He said I'll tell right after this one dumps. He said the digital scale on the conveyor belt registered 300 tons. After I retired I heard they got 300 toners. I suppose they haul 380 ton on them.

The Euclid company is not in business. Here is a link to the Wikipedia article about them en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid_Trucks.

In 2004 became Hitachi owned

@Chuck Miskel Sure you will. Trucks now days use cameras for the sides rear and front, with a warrning system like cars have now days for backing up, only way better of a system.

They had to be attentive back then, know their surroundings. I hate to be around today's construction sites with constant beeping sounds from all directions. Is that safer or would just being attentive work? Thanks for your comment.

In 1959 the Department of Justice under Attorney General William P. Rogers initiated an antitrust suit, under the Clayton Act, against General Motors Corporation. It charged that GM was too dominant, and its business methods stifled competition in the off-road hauler and earthmoving market. GM fought the suit for eight years, finally surrendering in 1968, agreeing to sell the Euclid Division. Article from Wikipedia.
