other dog Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 E U C L I D a division of G MI have an antique truck magazine here somewhere, I think it's one that's no longer published, that had an article about a Euclid in Pa. that had 2 6-71's in it. They were still using it on a job, and supposedly it was going to a museum as soon as the job was finished. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 That's odd- I went through all these antique truck magazines in the rack looking for the Euclid article, since I had nothing else to do. I've never thrown any of them away, but I couldn't find it. I thought it was in one called "Shifting Gears", one I only got 3 or 4 issues of before they stopped publishing it, I guess. I know the Euclid was somewhere around Clearfield, Pa. and i'm pretty sure I didn't dream it. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

I didn't look too close at Double Clutch, just a quick look at the covers. i'm pretty sure i've still got it too then.That magazine rack came from a store in Appomattox.

Popular Post randyp Posted July 22, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2012 In my earliest coal mining days, (and nights), I spent a many, a many, a many, a mucho, a buncha time on ole number 2208 Euclid 120 ton belly dump coal hauler, V-12 cummins, straight stack sticking up right behind cab, long long nose hood. Top speed was bouts 45 mph, loaded or empty, power shift 6 speed trans. Used to put a big chunk of coal down stack at night, start pullling up long ramp and watch the fireworks show start over cab. I got more ass chewings over that. I always told em it musta fell out of shovel bucket and went down stack. heh heh,,,they usually didnt fall for it,,,,randyp 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26293-the-ss-euclid-in-1956/#findComment-129849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The Euclid story is in Double Clutch March April 2002. The location of the rig is Oak Hill-Pottersdale PA. The truck is a 9FFD 40 ton tandem axle featuring twin 6-71 for power. The story concludes with someone approaching the owner about donating it to a museum in Clearfield. I don't know if the donation happened or not. I am going to keep looking if there is some more info on this deal. Jim 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Doug Maney Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Sorry for not responding, I was on vacation in Virginia Beach. I know the story, I know the truck. I believe this is one of the Detroit powered Eucs I used to hear as a kid while trying to fall asleep at night. I am not sure where it is right now, I will have to ask the owner. At one point he gave it to my nephew and then I heard he was giving it to a museum. I crawled all over this thing many times. I'll see what I can find out.Doug Quote Interested in Old Trucks?
