    Thank you so much for posting this. That glorious sound. I remember watching an identical one working in Whitmans Hill Quarry near malvern in the seventies. I'd love to see a longer video of this - some onboard footage would be brilliant!

    They started with these on the Marquette iron range in the early 1960's but they had the twin 6 Detroit two strokes side by side that fed into one massive bell housing that powered an Allison electric shift 6 speed transmission. They still had a couple of them that they put water tanks on to use as water trucks to wet the haul roads with during the dusty season, May ---September. When I started in the mine they were using 65 ton Darts and 75 ton Haul Paks. In the late 1970's they tried a few 95 ton Euclids but that was the last of them. Next step up was 120 ton Catapillar's, then 170 ton Dresser, I think I remember 190 ton Dresser also. Finally it was 240 ton Catapillar and 240 ton Dresser with electric drives. After I retired I heard they moved up to 300 toners.

    I see it has a rollroyce diesel rather than Detroit. The dealer I worked for in the early 60’s were Detroit or special order cummins

    Model? Engine? Horse power?

    Amazing how primitive this truck is. It looks as if its designer had only a ruler and a pencil, and the manufacturer only a hammer and profiles from a steel mill. The work of the driver of this truck must have been torture.

      Nothing pretty but robust and powerful and built to get the construction or mine job done. This Euclid off-highway dump truck is a great example of "beauty in ugliness."
