Their design and build.
The centrifugal blower looked like an over grown compressor housing out of a turbocharger the main difference being in place of being driven off the exhaust from the engine it was direct drive off the gear train of the engine. Guess you could compare that to the Paxton which are as I recall belt driven.Their design and build.
yes it happens every 2nd year, so 2025 and 27. Happens at easter. Weather is cool by then; 50 to 70fI'd love to make the next show, but 2027 is more likely. Rent a caravan, volunteer, the whole works. Is April a good time for a soft Yankee who hates the hot weather?
Too bad it didn't have a Detroit like a "proper" Euclid would have!My son (18 years ago….) likes this Euclid!
Out near Revelstoke on an old placer mining claim. It has since been ‘salvaged’ out. Not shown on photo is a 5’ high stainless extension above the muffler. To move the noise a bit further out & up?
Noticed that after I posted, I didn’t realize Cummins was optional in the early years.Too bad it didn't have a Detroit like a "proper" Euclid would have!
Nice looking Euc!! Sure don't see many Euclid or Terex dozers around.Our C-6 (1964) Garwood u-blade, Ateco ripper.
Photo (2013) taken during pushing up/cleaning off highly fractured quartz diorite. Gold will travel deep into 1/4” clay filled fractures so it is necessary to take 8’ of bedrock.
It’s a nicely balanced machine, I quite enjoy operating the old girl!Nice looking Euc!! Sure don't see many Euclid or Terex dozers around.
Not sure about that as I have a couple sales brochures here, one for R-22 and one for R-35 that I believe are dated 1965 and Cummins is shown as the optional engine in both them.Euclid offered the choice of Detroit or Cummins power up until Sept 1953, when GM bought them out.
From that time onward, you could have any engine you wanted in your Euclid - just as long as it was a Detroit!!
