  • I was heading on vacation, and to my surprise and delight, I saw old Euclid Terex dump trucks from the 70s, literally frozen in time. The trucks were in excellent condition equipped with powerful V12 Detroit Diesel engines and Allison transmissions and have been standing in the same spot for 30 years, leaving travelers in awe. There were other machines too, old graders and loaders, but these trucks took my breath away.

    Very cool find! I relate it to a barn find! I remember Euc's from the mid to late 1950's when P.F. Law was constructing Highway #3 from Christina Lake BC to Castlegar BC. The rock trucks were 30 tonners.

    I ran these in the Seabees in PR while crushing rock in 1980. We thought a good day was crushing a 100 ton. And then i ran them in South Bethlehem NY at a union rock quarry. You either had a automatic or a standard. Loud ..... YES.

    The 12V71 Detroit's will need the fuel pumps servicing to stop them running away when there started but apart from that the Euclid trucks look cared for and 992C looks the same as the truck's cared for a good service and away you go you have half your equipment to go to work.

      @@mickbaker2483 Cheers Mick, I was Heavy Plant Fitter in the UK for many years and TS24’s were still being used on civils work, we maintained Scrapers in the field and did repairs as well such as Engines and Transmissions out alongside servicing and repairing all the other types of Plant on the same job. I don’t see any company working like this today and as a consequence the Fitters and operators aren’t as good so the job takes longer and is way more expensive. When I started operators knew as much as Fitters and would be paid to maintain their own machine to a point and they knew how to get the best out of their Machine without any Electronics etc. Great days.

    Somewhere in Europe? The meter reading 5,470hrs in the dump truck cab, not a lot of work done. Despite its age the Caterpillar 992C front end loader would be worth some money even today, in working order. If that equipment was sitting by a busy road in Australia it would be vandalised, parts stolen and covered in graffiti by now.

      @@GearWheelTech This is a great video, thank you for this. They're in such good condition most likely as its remote where they are. It's a pity they can't be sold or donated and refurbished. That one smaller yellow-beige dump truck at the end of the line of Euclids, looks it's made by some Baltic country or possibly Ukrainian or Russian. For sure that Cat 992C with the D348 V12 engine of 550 HP, is in very good condition. The DD 12V71 and Allison automatics are an unbeatable combo, all very reliable!

It's like they've been in a time capsule. As for the last truck, I didn't know which is the model. I think someone mentioned in the comments that it's from an Italian manufacturer. But it's really a shame they've been sitting out in the open for 30 years.
