Brought back some old memories of when I first started coal mining and my first truck was the Euclid R100. Looked very similar but was taller, had the retarder as a foot pedal and a rear wheel lock on the right side of steering column for doing drifts in the winter lol. Thanks
I notice most of the trucks still running are cummins rather than Detroits and that surprises me. I'd assume they were purchased new about 50/50. Do you think it's because of a lack of experienced servicemen for the Detroits? and/or the lack of understanding that they have to be run a little different? I mean we keep them going in farm trucks, skidders, and some tractors (Oliver's and White's) and most are well older than me at 44. I'm not for or against cummins, but I've heard the guy from DeBoss garage channel talk about how expensive and difficult it is to rebuild a Detroit (he blew one up for fun, as I've seen other fools do on their channels) and claimed it was $10k per cylinder to rebuild one, but I'm missing something because the last one we did was a little 4-53 out of a C5 Tree Farmer right on a pallet in the driveway. the 6v71's are no different. It was cheap, quick and easy and I'm not a diesel mechanic at all, just a farm boy/logger/trucker. Maybe things are different in canada, but how do you explain more cummins in these mining trucks? thanks for your time and great videos, happy 4th
I don't even know where to get Detroit parts for our equipment anymore, whereas cummins has shops and many local businesses carry their parts. If i had a choice when buying something id have to choose the cummins anymore... I'm also from Pennsylvania so maybe its an area based thing...
@@bubblessamsquanch6478 I've heard (I don't know if it is true) that Detroit 2-cycle engines can't meet EPA specs, so you don't see them on new equipment. I guess if they aren't still being made that spare parts would be drying up.
10k per cylinder? His shop is ripping him off. My buddy in Mass rebuilds Detroits all the time and he'd laugh if he heard that. Yes, the old 2-strokers are not EPA compliant, hence why they don't make them anymore. But, in their time they were stupid simple, efficient (compared to some), tough engines and were versatile enough to put in anything. There are thousands of them still out there running mainly on smaller farms, contracting outfits, etc., and parts are plentiful for them. I know a lot of folks that prefer them to Cummins for parts availability in the northeast and simplicity. In the end I think engine preference was pretty well personal preference.
The hoist cylinder on the left side of the truck - is that original as it's painted "standard" Euclid green? Is that a fuel line that is leaking underneath at 2:58? Is this truck still in operation?
Interesting old bird. I was surprised at first that it was only 2-wheel drive without at least front assist. That got me wondering if 2 wheel was just due to when it was built, or if new dump trucks are still 2 wheel drive?
Man,the hours that truck has worked in its life must be off the charts,still looks good,and can go another 40 or 50
Almost 50 years old and still getting the job done. That says a lot for simplicity unlike what's produced today. Look forward to your next video! 👍

Probably because just like every other industry, they don't want detroit powered equipment.

Because the leak more oil than burn fuel and are gutless pieces of 💩
Love them ole Euclids. Just hated changing tires on them
I remember my dad taking me to work to show these trucks to me as a kid.

Hell Yeah super Cool thank you for video of a Cool rock truck
The r80 will be the next truck to have a documentary.

Great video please make more xd
Didn't know that White bought Euclid....from Terex? Would this originally have been green? Thanks for more history
PAmining what model of off road truck do you drive?
okay, what is a retarder?
i know that in older cars it would increase or decrease the timing, is that the same for these trucks?
I was hoping you’d start it up with the air start! Btw, the rear right hand wheel seal is leaking, better tag it out of service lol.
to bad euclid is not any longer brand for themselves but still its better they are under hitachi.
Is that at a coal mine or a stone quarry
Coal
Looks like she uses all 62 gallons too.
TOUGH AND RELIABLE.... Unlike today's junk
I think that truck need repairs? Dripping hydraulic oil.
Its raining hydraulic fluid under the truck
That's water from the dump box dude lol
I thought the same lol just water 💦
This truck is from a time when the coal industry was in it's golden years. Now it's a shell of itself unfortunately
Biggest pieces of junk ever made.
