Thank you very much Dave, I appreciate your kind words! That is so cool! One of my favorite toys was always a orange Buddy L dump truck, made of steel! I love the name Euc!

The Leigh Creek coal mine in the north of my state of South Australia used Euclid 35 ton capacity dump trucks for years, later replaced with more modern Lectrahaul units. Mine has since closed, i assume all the old Euclids were scrapped. A couple were converted to water tanker/fire trucks and were still onsite in 2007. Fortunately i got some pics of them at the time

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

That's quite a dump truck!

[@ericcoffedgp40]

Yes it sure is one heck of a unit!

[@OzziesOddities]

Never seen anything like that. Interesting.

[@ericcoffedgp40]

Right on my friend! These old trucks sure are unique! The Euclids are getting pretty scarce these days. Thanks for watching!

Extraordinary.

That’s a fascinating truck- I’ve never heard of Euclid before. Will that end up in the scrap gondola that’s behind you?

[@ericcoffedgp40]

Yes it really is! Yep, made in Euclid Ohio for years! Thankfully not, the folks who manage this wrecking yard recognized this trucks significance and plan on preserving it for now at least.
