Explanation and operation of a 1965 Euclid C 6-5 a crawler dozer of cutting edge technology at the time.This year we hope to post an update.

I remember running 82-30 hot air from the radiator behind you and people knew 10 miles away you are working
-
Oh my ! That brings back my days in the 70's when the Terex brand came in with the 82-30 and the 82-40's etc. Impressive machines all the same.
-
the main problem with that old single ram is the blade wasnt cutting evenly
-
It might be cutting edge technology but the track frames still need to be cleaned off when he's done working it, last time he didn't, one of the top rolls was froze and not turning this time....tomorrow morning everything will be froze solid. The way he winds it up cold start it probably will be the best thing that could happen to it, at least he'd have a motor in it top work in the spring.

Great sounding dozer. Good operator too. I need this to plow my driveway!

Hello, Mr NWE.
I had sorta figured that there may have been some previous effort put into getting that lovely old Euclid ready to work 'cos the operator just climbed straight up and sat down on the seat when EVERYTHING all around was covered in snow. And I KNOW that I would not like my 'fundamental orifice' to chilled by sitting on a snow-covered seat AT ALL, never mind for as long as that operator is shown sitting on it.
I have operated 82-30s and an 82-40 for brief periods - good machines, well balanced, handle well and push well too. A friend of mine a couple of hours away has FOUR TC12s, one almost a runner, one needing two engines and two needing the age of miracles to return. I hope to get to operate the nearly running one in the not too distant future.
Thanks for sharing.
Just my 0,.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant. -
Ye that's loud seems to run well nice video

If you watch at 3:47 you can see where he edited the warmup out of the video. Would you really like to sit through 15 min of detroit idling? The engine smoothed out and is blowing way less smoke when he moves the machine. Have any of you armchair autistic Internet heavy equipment experts actually ran machinery before?? And by the way, anyone who comments "if one of my men did blah blah blah he would be fired" have never actually been in charge of anything but the computer in their momma's basement.

To the two detractors of mine out there in wire & glass land. ( i,e) Mr, McNeeely & Mr,Roberson. FYI the machine was previously warmed up for approx. 15 min. prior to the start of doing this shoot,It would have been quite obtuse of me to keep the public waiting that amount of time to start operating, I do appreciate your concern for MY dozer though!!!!!

Jimmy i💗💗💗💗💗🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿1935,common rail roller rockers,great
-
you gotta clean those roller frames everyday the mud lockes up the rollers and you get flat spots on them
-
I sure hope that bus motor was warmed up because if that was my tractor and he cold-cranked it like he did, after about fifteen seconds he'd be going down the road talking to himself. Detroits are tough but nothing likes to be run wide open when it's cold!
-
Oh ya! Just crank that detroit up to 3 grand to start it and then agin 10 seconds after in the SNOW Either you have a magic engine or no brains. Have fun with that. #wtf people wtf
-
Great video, thanks for putting it on here. Can you please do one on the scraper next to it and tell us all about that too, maybe get them both working together ?
-
ill try too get a video next time im at the pit
-
got one it will push any out the way 3 or 4 foot round trees like it ant there and see that big muffler rotted off found a header and strait piped it for more noise it scars the dirt flat

GM had the best engineers designing heavy equipment at the time. They learned a lot form Allis Chalmers back in the late 40's, when AC came out with the tourque converter drive, 2stroke GM powered HD19 dozer. The idea for the TC12 came from a hybird HD19 Siamese Twin dozer working on the Garrison Dam project in the late 40's. This dozer here was way ahead of its time. But 2 strokes don't last as long as 4strokes. Higher revs, more wear. CAT won the race. They are the only ones still alive, making machines today, for the World market.
-
Good vid. Interesting to hear some of the background and history to Euclid. Best of all, no rock guitar backing track!!
-
hi if i need parts do they stiil make them-thanx

To the Anekcahap down below. The engine sounds like it is turning around 1700-1800rpms. That is normal range for these engines. Detroit 53, 71, 92, etc series engines are two stroke and sound like they are turing much higher rpms than they are. Hints the name SCREAMING JIMMY (Jimmy is a name we use for GM or General Motors)
