Euclid L-30 Documentary

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

Good tires and a fairly straight little machine overall. I’d love to have that thing. Always wanted a smaller Euclid or Michigan loader.

[@udo5479]

We had one of these for loading sugarbeet in 1977 here in Germany

Nice video. It's amazing when these machines came out. How they were state of the art.Everyone marveled at the engineering and so on. Who knew that 50 years later they would be laying abandoned in some field.

[@PAmining]

That's why I love showing these old unique machines! Many of them have a story to tell and there's always some interesting engineering feat about them! Thanks!

[@GMG455]

Still give ours excercise 2-4 times a year minimum

[@williammain7281]

Why is it Big Muskie, Silver Spade and other large shovels were cut up for scrap but so much smaller machinery seems to be rusting into pieces? Is it a state issue Ohio vs PA or what?

[@brucevanderschrier9610]

Never knew you could get these with a dozer blade and have never seen even a picture of one! Thanks ! Great video!

[@PAmining]

You're welcome!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Had one of these at the quarry till the brakes went out and it wend backward off the flat BUT was drug back up and revived and fixed at the concrete plant. There was also a bigger one with a 6-71 that sat through a flood and bent a rod because it got water in it. Torn down where it sat and fixed. Now all that's left are a couple of Terex rigid frame trucks. Somewhere. Thanks, Pal and God Bless!

[@Drew6709]

I operated one like that but must have been newer. It was a single transmission lever w/twist gear selection. 3yrd machine and 3-71 Detroit I think.

[@GMG455]

The Battery is in the most annoying place imaginable and the Im sure the brakes on that one dont work good either! fantastic video!

[@GMG455]

Ours also has a high lift kit in comparison, ours is a 1960 and its interesting to note. this one may be an LGP package or sinking, Im 6'3 and my head barely touches the bottom of the cab floorboard

[@PAmining]

Haha, yes it is, and Thank you!

[@furball5553]

even in her run down state .sitting amongst forgotten refuge she is still a thing of great beauty. heartbreaking the way we treat the unwanted. 👍✌

[@EdStrong929]

Always great to see one of your videos featuring special equipment and machines not so common to the average fan! Thank you for sharing this beauty with us and giving us the detailed backstory. 👍

[@PAmining]

You're welcome and glad you enjoyed it! Thats what I like hearing and why I show this kind of equipment!

[@markbarnhill6300]

Wish I had it! Love the old euc stuff!

[@shanegriffin2215]

Love the green machines! All of them.

[@PAmining]

They are classics!

[@damienodonohue1327]

Incredibly great little engine, 284 cubic inches, punched well above its weight, when set up properly, operated properly, & mantained properly, unbeatable reliability, durability &performance 👍

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Wooow thank you for the video on the uclid,I love old equipment catch ya on the next one.

[@404nitro]

Thank you for yet another great docu.

[@PAmining]

Your welcome!

[@Gus1966-c9o]

A “ screaming “ Jimmy ! Great video Justin 👍

[@imdavid28]

Thanks again for the tour!

[@PAmining]

You're welcome 😁

[@electrolytics]

Great history. Great video. Thank you sir.

[@PAmining]

Your very welcome!

[@jreg2007]

been a subscriber for years. can i just tell you how impressed i am with your knowledge. and you sound older than you look. i would have figured you for a grey haired old guy

[@PAmining]

Ahaha! Some day I will be but not now lol. Thanks

[@craigsibley8161]

Excellent video 👍👍👍

[@marcusgault9909]

Really good tyres on that loader to be parked up.

[@skipmyers9753]

Love the videos!

[@PAmining]

Thank you!

[@douglasweller9709]

I think the prototype for these machines is restored and at Larry’s Sand and Gravel.

[@baklys]

Hi, is the converter air cooled? Thanks for the video!

[@EFCasual]

Good Morning.

[@Pozi_Drive]

When will we see a salvage video, like 'Vice Grip Garage' or 'Salvage workshop' produce on forgotten big iron? Would be interesting.

[@dennisdingeman1564]

Love your videos but always wondered how often you get chased off by bees and snakes?

[@PAmining]

I've only come across a snake once and that was actually last week lol. I have run into bees and only been stung once that I can remember. I always do a walk through before I film so I know where things are and to check for bees. I also won't film any abandoned equipment like this is the summer when bees are most prevalent.

[@mariog.1536]

Great video. But one mistake, this is not L30. It is L25 because L25 has a 4cyl engine. L30 has 6cyl.

[@PAmining]

There were a few different variations of the L30 that were built over the years. The serial tag on this unit clearly said 9UPM. These were the first run of L30s and were 4-71 powered. The 6V-53 engine wasn't offered in the L30 until 1965 with the launch of the 17UPM series. Euclid loaders are confusing lol. Hope this helps 🙂

[@mariog.1536]

@@PAmining I didn't know that. Although I noticed that there are a lot of differences in the series, so I distinguished the models by the number of cylinders in the simplest way. Otherwise, I have an L20, with a 3-71 engine. My father bought it in 1968. Perfect machine.

[@LonnyJay-vh4yg]

Wat became detroit- terex back in the day. Terex had way too many hydroulic lines an junctions for fluid release

[@debi5292]

The tires are nice, maybe replaced and saw little time until it was parked. Bucket cylinder pins are tiny, and the bushings are worn out. Somewhat strange configuration in general. The 4-71 Detroit is not much power either. Not a machine that was popular in the day is my guess.
