Nice to see a "it will start" video. All the hundreds and hundreds of "will it start videos" are getting old. Anything will start with enough money and time. I bet the tree enjoyed the ride lol. Thanks for sharing just stumbled across yoir channel. Sub'd.
lol, same here, living on a farm we have all kinds of old equipment that sets for as long or longer than a lot of the will it start videos, and yes they will start some take a little more messing with than others
As a kid, the noise of those engines terrified me, HA , and it still does. I can still remember as a kid listening to those things howl away in the distance on new sites and my dad visiting a site with my when those engines ruled. The tree along for the ride would make a welcome sight to anyone passing by. Such a shame that it cannot still be put to some productive use by a small project operator - HA - one wearing some modern ear plugs AND ear muffs. I reckon all operators of those things were soon relegated to the - 'I once had hearing" club. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
Seems to me that JA McDonald was involved building the end of I 189 at Rte 7 down to the highway to nowhere in the late 80s. Maybe that scraper served tbere.

@@SomeTechGuy666 I started out in the fabrication dept. We made (formed) all the big buckets, rails, fuel/oil tanks, etc... Then I moved to the machining area and ran NC mills. (now CNC mills).

My grandparents lived in Stow. We would go by Terex on the way to their house! The Christmas scene with Santa in his sleigh and the reindeer was always cool! Was that plant on 91 or rt8 ? Can't remember?
Nice! Love the sound of them old 12V Detroit's! The 6V and 12V engines were what I worked and learned on mostly, while in diesel mechanic's school in the late 70's, early 80's. Thanks for sharing.
i enjoyed seeing her go again i ran a older one a twin 24 euqlid it was a ugly old frog face thing and had a 12 -71 in from and 671 in back both none turbo your is a 12 v 92 they from the 70's the old thing i worked on road with was from the 60's . if we blew a hydraulic hose my boss bought a bunch at a sale we would weld them to make fitting work weld it not fast or we melt the the line but we kept them old things making money . i enjoy you having fun with old stuff I am 60 and ran a cable dozer D8 u DOZER was a good working Cat .
Spent many, many hours working on the old 8V 92 TI's as well as the 12 & 16 V 149TI series. You haven't seen black oil come out of a crankcase until you've worked on these engines!
nice my S12 exhaust did the same thing leaving the auction but i had a 35 mile run to make all but cured me of wanting anymore Detroit's . keep up the good work
George Wimpey had a fleet of TS 24 scrapers , 8v71 front and rear. Used them on opencast coal sites in Cumbria ....also M25. There was a fleet in Oman " Flycamps" in the late 1970s . Building access roads for drilling equipment .... Halliburton drilling " Bush family " and Deutag drilling rigs . Fond memories of the blokes i worked with.. UK and Oman
@@paulnolan1352 Hi Paul. If you are interested there are various U tube videos of Wimpey TS 24s on M25, Non have i found Re Cumbria Opencast sites though. Also a few scarce photos of Wimpey in Oman. " Marmul PDO camp " Yes in my experience they were like Marmite , I personaly liked working on them. and the memories of the day to day banter with the caracters who worked there . One could have written a book, Good yet hard long days.
@@johnmyers7054 Thanks John, appreciate your comments. You are right about working on them, they needed full time attention and I don’t think there was any part of the Scraper that we didn’t work on!. Wasn’t that front PTO a sod to do with the front Axle in the way? Or the Exhaust Manifold on the front Engine next to your right leg?, working through that square hatch!. I had better shut up or I’ll really start. I’ll check those videos out. Didn’t they run 631 and 637 at Broughton Lodge? Or was it Wimpeys at potato pot?.many thanks.
@@paulnolan1352 Hi Paul . Potato Pot hole was the last site they opened up " on the Branthwaite road" around 1985/86. Very wet site initialy. I Emigrated to Aus 1986 went to work for Blackwood Hodge , South Granvill Sydney on Terex for a while then moved to QLD. So i was only on Potato Pot a short while Before that Out gang site on Windscale moor before that Mable plantation and before that where the windfarm now is on the other side of the road to Out gang. Wimpey through Blackwood hodge used Terex Scrapers and a 12v 71 plus /D8H / D9. I never worked on Cat scrapers in my time at Wimpey " i dont think they owed any to my knowledge anyway". Yes constant maintenance. Tractor and boxs in the wet short hauls . Often " Motorways Plant " also. Dump trucks were R50 and a cat 777. Good times Good people Good banter Good company to work for one felt ones efforts were appreciated
Why I love detroits. They dont break down they get retired. Then 15yrs later you can usually start them up to bury the machines that replaced them! Indestructible!
If it's still stuck there. Try clean out the filters.& screens going to the transmission really good. It could also be very low on hydralic fluid.,or the type of fluid it uses to move the machine with. I was going to also mention if the brakes are on it will not allow it to move at all either.
Awesome story. Wish we had more background. Were you able to swap out her batteries without too much trouble? Were her brakes seized? Did you replace her coolant and yank the thermostat? Did you start her on ether the 1st time?
Did you call in a report of overturned Dunkin Donuts truck to divert the po po so you could make your road run home? I just did a black op with a 5th wheel RV and I thought I was bold. You da man!
Be glad you had brakes 99.9% don’t they drive fine on dirt. You wanna stop drop the pan. I don’t think it will go over well dropping the pan on asphalt.
That asphalt is harder than ya think it's almost like concrete if properly rolled. Dunno how a scraper would fare but I know for a fact you can put a d9 on asphalt and it not damage the road
Shame to scrap... cost to replace if was needed would be beyond what this cost to fix. seems to drive fine, hell even if you sale it for HALF what New one cost still better than scrap price, seems scrap has dropped in price allot.
I ran the prototype of the TS24; same style but they called mine the 979. Could that thing move dirt: we had 2 of them: This was Wagro’s equipment; from Edson, AlbertaThey also had Ts18’s. All were good
Mother of God, watching the green tree hauler drive through the lot 🤣🥹 I'd need to drive this crazy rig around until the cops told me to knock it off. Make it a Murican flavor of that cute little Sherpa truck. 🤣🤣🤣😅 I know, I know, it's your truck so you're going to do what's right for you. But still 🥹😈🫣😱😂🤣🤣🤣😅
Had a close friend that lives in bullhead Arizona and someone abandoned 2 of these and I checked them out and guessed they just didn't want them got the em to turn over but didn't start em .
With equipment prices the way that they are y would you scrap it? Put a few bucks into it and list it for sale and make enough to buy several of the engines completely redone and still have a good boy to play with. Without looking at exactly what the pricing is on them and just going by general equipment prices I bet you can put a 50k$ price tag on it after you get it up to a decent condition and running well and that would be a great bargin for whoever bought it. Don't need to be perfect or anything special. Fix the cracked glass and do the maintenance on it get it to reliably start and a bit of cleaning and it'd be ready to go
I operated a 10 yard Terex front loader for 5 years. I was actually a trucker but the assholes where I loaded aggregate sat on their asses. 2 and a half passes and I was gone.
Nice to see a "it will start" video. All the hundreds and hundreds of "will it start videos" are getting old. Anything will start with enough money and time.

My dad worked for Terex GM in the 70s, I can remember seeing many brand new scrapers and dump trucks waiting to be shipped out.
The Detroit Diesel loves life. She never wants to die.
Ran twin 8V71’s in a charter boat I Captained. Favorite engine. Can not kill it.
Love those old detroits. Definitely clean it up and run it or sell it. To good to scrap. Also, I’m based in Jericho
It’s for sale

@@tiptopchopshop I know I shouldn't ask this, but: How much?
Stick that motor in an old 900 KW or 359 Pete, make a nice show truck.
Could you imagine running that old relic 10/12 hours a day moving dirt? That old 2 stroke screaming next to you. Cool old chunk of iron though.
My spine and ears already hurt thinking about it . These old machines tire out your body real quick. At the end of a day your body feels like shit
I love ❤️ the 2 strokes 😍 💕
I ran one in Florida 1972 and73 with twin exhaust no mufflers. Cone bros. const. on the beeline expy. in Orlando
The thing I hated about them was the seat. No cushion or air. Other than that they could move a lot of dirt.
@@Carla-tz7qw Fair enough. Myself, I've never ran a self propelled scraper before, just pull type.
Nothing sound like the old "buzzin' dozen", dang that sounds good !!
These and 2 motor Euclids are machines of my youth. Love these old beasts
I worked on this scraper and many others working for J.A. McDonald in Vt
Loud Pipes Save Lives. Just kidding, I used to run a Detroit all day. Great stuff.
I remember watching those Terex Build the Avon ring road as a kid. Used to love going down and seeing them. Cool video
Shame to scrap that
Agreed should restore it.
I worked at the Terex plant in Hudson Ohio from 1973 till around 1982. Great place to work, good pay and good benefits.
What did you work on ? What parts did you make ?

If that machine was mine I would definitely restore it to new condition, Nice video !
Love seeing old bits of kit being bought back to life and given a second chance!. Nice one!. Nuff said. 🙂
This is golden.Very good machine.
Was watching this thing roll down the road and I was thinking how small of a world this is that I know where you are and where she’s from!
Detroit v12. The most efficient way of converting diesel into noise.

No one ever cared. As long as it had oil. They rust proofed themselves, also.
Excellent shape. Nobody ever wanted to operate it.

Used to love running them
They were a work horse foresure
S 15s two engines talk about noise omg
Cool machine, Love that sound. Nice looking country also
If a man is trying to get heaven....go ahead an Cosby sauce a tire that big ... wow what ride 👌👌✌️✌️
Nice ol terex nice runner you should use it at your farm , that thing would move mountains 🏔 lol nice sound thanks BigAl California
Fantastic machine and a free tree too👍👍
That's one big chunk of steel!!! Love those old Detroits!!! I just subbed and thanks!!
Im thinking "dirt perfect" could put that in his fleet. Looks and sounds strong
It moves...it's alive!!! Well done sir!!
12/71 TT definitely worth putting into something
I see y'all got to move again under it's own power instead. Good job guys.
Honestly that machine has quite a bit of life left its a shame to scrap it but atleast your keeping that 12v71

Kevin Rice... It would make a "great truck engine"..... AFTER you change to a Limiting Speed Governor.
Nice to see a fellow Vermonter

Gr8 touch on hulling the 🎄🌴
Love the tree sticking out of the bowl the entire time. 😂😂
Awesome story. Wish we had more background.
Were you able to swap out her batteries without too much trouble?
Were her brakes seized?
Did you replace her coolant and yank the thermostat?
Did you start her on ether the 1st time?
Awesome 👌 man and thanks!!!!+++++++
I would enjoy just driving that thing in a field somewhere.
My husband used to haul that for J A McDonald
Great machine
That's awesome 👌
i would love to own that engine
Raise your hand if you flinched when the vice grips broke loose 🤚
Cool old piece 🙂
lmfao the tree as you drive away just chillin in the back
I loved mine it was a standard shift
What a nice machine
That's an earful of Detroit.
Did you call in a report of overturned Dunkin Donuts truck to divert the po po so you could make your road run home? I just did a black op with a 5th wheel RV and I thought I was bold. You da man!
Just put a farmer triangle on whatever you wanna move and the fuzz won't fk wit you
Try A scrub brush.& soapy water around the rim to clean out wash off dirt.&rinse it out with water.
They should make it illegal to scrap national treasures like Terex and some AC's
Be glad you had brakes 99.9% don’t they drive fine on dirt. You wanna stop drop the pan. I don’t think it will go over well dropping the pan on asphalt.

Just chain a large tire to the cutting edge. Then you can drop the bowl without damage.
Just let off the throttle, thing will fall on its face.
That's a S24 S FOR SINGLE ENGINE. a A TS24 IS TWIN ENGINE A V12 IN FRONT AND V6 IN REAR . 600 hp in front and 350hp in rear
Hell yea 👍
Still use those here in southern calif with repowered eng
Hi seen one in use in UK cat d9 pushing
Listen to that engine purr!
more videos from S24B, congratulatios
i like the video
Massive piece of equipment
Dudes totally gnarly
Best ❤
Supernice!…💪
Hi where was that Terex built .i worked on TerexT s 24 at the Newhouse plant since 1969 .Terex then had front and rear engines
The neighbors must love you 🤣

Found out how nasty they are to operate. Many have just been parked. He got a good idea, scrap iron and save the engine.
Is that machine in Pa?
They made a ts32 had a v12 up-front and a v8 out back I think never seen one but have a brochure.
I ran one of those bitches back in the day.....6 gear selections and it shifted twice in each in each gear.
Great video, the commentary is brutal
