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.

Man oh man! I bet this old girl has some bark!
-
How long were these vehicles expected to last in the industry?
-
Is the Differential lock-able?
I'd like to find out the cubic capacity for the engines too. -
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.

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!
-
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.

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.

we had that at operator school , so fucking loud lol
-
The company that owned this Euc filed for bankruptcy. A lot of the older equipment was either scrapped or auctioned off I think
-
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
-
it needs a Cummins engine rather than a detroit. Cummins last basically forever. Awsome truck tho. i like them Euclids!
-
Most popular dumptruck in my country before the CAT 777 came.
-
kooooooooooool grt video
-
Nice video! It's realy interesting
-
@19FD89 Euc's are cool!
-
I'm surprised that a truck this clean and straight isn't still being used somewhere. Nice vid!
-
@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
-
Oh I know, I've heard em and they sound awesome! Thanks and will do.

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.
