Haven't seen video yet, but brings back great memories. Operated TS-14 back in 74-75.Probably why I have back trouble today. One operator was traveling the haul road with a full bowl. Hit a bump and unintentionally turned left into a twenty foot pond. His last words were "send me my check".
I am 70 years old. I ran one of the beauties back in the early 70’s during the hest of summer when i was in college. How i avoided heat stroke i will never know. The heat coming off that engine felt like the surface of the sun. In the deep south in georgia. Cut a yellow jacket nest up stripping top soil off new subdivision streets and bailed off that sucker while it was rolling. Laid the pan down and jumped. LOL
Just a great video. Neat old scrapers like that, just aren't seen in British Columbia. That TS14 is in good shape, Justin's a good operator, and those 2 stroke Detroits have lots of life left in them. That was a great video.
honestly I have never seen one ran so i was super excited to watch it. they use pans alot on big jobs but the amount of rock we have here limits their use
I love Terex and Detroits. Maybe because they are from a by-gone era I will never see. Cats from that age are cool, but they all seem slow and old, ran at half throttle just ticking down the strokes. But Detroits.... detroits make me think of the industrial society that we were in the 60s. Full throttle, all go. You'll find many a tired old Terex, but they hide it as well as possible under that beautiful lime green veil.
It's been a few years back I worked for a guy nights and weekends running highlift and a selfloader. Was only a 11 yard bowel on it. Did that for about 6 years until I bought my own highlift. We did subdivision roads and small county road jobs. Never a flat piece of ground. It sure would have been nice to be able to do a job like that.
Ran ts 14 everyday for 6 years. My ears ringing today. Lol. Was fun i thought screamer ! 40 loads a day. Everyday for a landfill. They kept telling me slow down. U said ok. Lol. Full throttle gave it hell. Was a blast. 😁👍
I would have liked to have seen what he did with it after it was collected. I have never seen one of those work. The bucket on the exhaust made me laugh. We had an old hand crank Farmall when I was a kid, and put a small coffee can over the exhaust to keep the rain out. Worked fine. If you forgot to remove it before cranking, it would shoot the can off like a rocket when it cranked.
When they first built US 20 from South Bend to Michigan City, Indiana they only had a steam shovel and a horse drawn dump wagon! I have a picture somewhere from the 1920's, since my great great grandfather's brother owned the land they bought in South Bend! They came from Mississippi after the turn of century to South Bend, we just moved this year down to Alabama from Indiana! My great great grandfather also sold most of his farm to the city of South Bend so they could construct the new airport, which used to only be a grass field! I really miss, Indiana Dirt "Rich brown to black" compared to this clay, after a rain it is like walking on a sponge! Till yourself a garden and you have to let it dry out for at least a week or you will have boots that weigh 20 lbs when walking it to plant!
Oh my , those screamin' jimmys,...I actually miss them. I didn't have much to do with the Terex Scrapers in this 'neck of the woods' but the Crawler Dozers and Loaders,..now those were the machines in their day.
We see very few of those pan scrapers here in the northeastern United States. Usually when we level ground out up here it's with a bulldozer or road grader. Great video.
No wrong impressions given. They're as I said some bad apples who ruin it for us people who love to enjoy nature. A lot of that tire waste would make ground cover for a children's playground. Alot of the playgrounds in my area are going to ground up old tires as it is better for kids to fall on than crushed rock.
that seat had a belt at one time. from my understanding roller over protection and seat belts came in around the same time and it has a slot for the belt on the sides.
you can tell he's done that before, usually they spin the hell out of the rear tires from too much down pressure. I used to run ts-24's. just put an engine in one and they have an air horn that would go off if they lost oil pressure, well as I was putting away tools the operator took oil pan off with a stump then wide open until it scattered the new engine, horn just screaming away
How are you supposed to hear a horn with a 60 Series or a 12-V exploding right beside you? I can remember when the back 6-71 had straight pipes and you could just barely hear a hiss out of them wide open. Bus motors will always be bus motors. Still miss them.
Seat belts are a must back in the 60s two scrapers were racing back to the yard and one hit huge rock the machine bounced around and but what the other guy seen was that the guys neck was snapped from hitting the roof just like the machine on this video open cab i believe its called well the length of that blokes neck was double
Ahh! Don't miss it! Operated them for years(Euclid/TS)14 and 18's. No air ride seat, no cab, no seat belt, no breaks. Scoopers neck, knee to the gear box 20,000 times, shot out of the seat by a pot hole(I didn't see)4th gear. Rock thrown by tiers hit the apron then hit me. no fanks.. no fanks alot. Got broken parts, an thats all I got. Yes that's Tubb
The Terex is as old as a T-rex and screams just as I imagine one would in real life.😂😂 Awesome engineering on that motor and cooling system for it to be revving that high all day and not overheat (I'm assuming) The dump truck that picks up its own load...and it U-turns on a dime!!!😎
And need gallons of oil's every day haha! If they don't leak: means they are empty. First one I was on(Euclid) no air ride seat, no seat belt, no cab, no brakes. It did have a seat tho.
Tell Justin to go find some starting fluid gel tabs for cold weather starting. They go into the little oil cup looking things just above the superchargers. Makes cold starts way easier. Also tell Justin to function check the emergency kill levers every so often. The ONLY way to stop a runaway 6-71. Lol.
Best way is to top load these old girls with a pc400 I don’t care what anybody says u can’t find good operators to run them and if u do they bug the shit out of u for dozer seat time
i dont think i have ever seen this in europe, we just use big wheel loaders for a little material, wheel loader with trucks for a lot and excavators + trucks for a shitton , ofc we also use graders to get everything level and smooth
Man dat brings back some memories, got my start on equipment 20 yrs ago runnin those same T-Rex TS14B's. 12 to 16 hrs a day 7 days a week 3 months straight. We ran 24hr/7 rediverting Capt. Sam's Inlet between Kiawah n Seabrook Islands. Hauled the sand 1mi down d beach to block off d old channel. Long as dat screamin deamon had oil in it you couldn't kill em. Although the Alison trans did NOT like salt water in it. One boy was tryin 2 get out work dat nite. When he got fired that night he had to walk 4 miles back to his truck. Dumb A** Anyway cool vid, long live the Detroit Diesel!!
I worked for road building outfit 1965 out of high school. We had a Euclid S7 and 12. A 7 Cat pushing and Allis Chambers 16 cable blade. I hate Detroit!
Oh the Green Dinosaurs and the Screaming Me Mes! LOL All you have to know to run them is that you will be deaf at the end of the day and FIRST LEVER!!! LOL The reason we still see so many of them are because the engines and tranny is so easy to rebuild. I worked for a company that had a fleet of TS-14 's and about 24 or the TS-24's. Had s few catch fire and burn up. Hauled them to the scrap yard and got $1000 for the bowl of a 24. $500 for both engines and $250 for the tranny. I laugh, but man I have moved a ton of earth with those old screaming bastards! LOL
I cut my teeth on one of those. Rode a few times around the job site with the boss man, and he turned me loose. I was scared to death! It had five fwd speeds and would go probably 45mph. Need to stop quick? Put the bowl down! I held up production because I was so green and timid, and the dozer operators were ready to kill me. Boss pulled me off and stuck me in a ditch with a grade rod and shovel for a couple weeks in the middle of a NC January, and before long I was begging to get back in the seat. It didn't take me long to figure it out the second time around!
Operated at 6:37 push me pull kneecap never operated one of those but in that cat I could load it a lot Fuller than that I would have dirt falling off the side of it it was so full
love watching them old pans work. I miss Terex and Euclid machines. To bad you don't see scrapers that much anymore at least not here on Ohio. Mostly dozers track hoes and ADT's
We used to use Terex 72-51 Loaders in Northern Ireland in the Forces for clearing road blocks and burning vehicles when the riots were on. The screaming Detroit Diesel used to clear the reprobates fairly quickly especially in the wee hours of the morning in a built up area 😉👍🏼 Crushed many a mans pride n joy in my 4/1 Bucket in Belfast. Very antiquated machine but strong as an ox and seldom broke down which is handy in an area where people would like to kill you. The armoured cab was a bastard to operate from within due to the thickness of the glass ( 50 Cal proof) Happy days listening to those engines screaming away tho ear defenders would be advisable methinks.
One good thing ( if there is any) those 14s can sit on a steep slope, and almost walk on water lol. I ran almost 2:1 backslopes sitting on my arm rest. Dirty; noisy, rough, and hot things to run.
God help that poor man having to listen to 2 Detroits at the same time.. ohh.. they do start better if you let the fuel stop go back in slow as you crank... as the injector rack is at full throttle until it fires.
Nice size loads for no assist. U want to have some fun , try running one of the old S-7’s, 3 speed manual shift, you need a push to get any kind of a load.

love watching these old machines working. thanks for the video!
Gotta love the screamin Detroit, only engine in the world that converts fuel into noise and noise makes it go
Sounds like dragon ball z. Oh you power up by yelling too?
Compression bro
It sounds like an old bus
I operated one in A school when I was a Seabee at Davisville RI. Heck of a machine
All that great music from a couple of screaming Detroits. miss that sound now over 20 years ago.
Great vid. Old GM mechanic here. Love it
Job security

only thing good about a Detroit is that after running all day you can't hear your wife rag on ya.

This sound is a beautiful song for me! 👍
The company that dug out lagoon had one like that. But the muffler's rusted off and that SOB was so loud it would rattle the windows in the barn.
4 miles down the road!
@@lewiemcneely9143 Nothing sounds like 2 Detroit deisels goin flat out
@@philipellis3807 And that's why the governor is there. To be put the r.p.m.'s right against it continuously! They're made to run right there!

Great diesel engine sound and nice machine & video!
love the sound of these machines is full speed ahead mode.
Worked on many of these great machines while i was with The Iron Peddlers years ago good to see one in action again

Reg Sparkes 2 rocky mountain humming birds cheers from Australia. Detroits forever
Love Green Lizards ,haven't operated. one since 2000
I want to operate one again…..last time I operated one it had Euclid labeling on it…….summer of 1965.
We see very few of those pan scrapers here in the northeastern United States. Usually when we level ground out up here it's with a bulldozer or road grader. Great video.
David Genthner Jr used to be more common here in Massachusetts about 50 years ago. We have too much rock, I think that's why they went out of favor.
I seen one when they built the new Border Patrol station but thats cause they had a lot of topsoil to redistribute but that 5-6 years ago now.
No wrong impressions given. They're as I said some bad apples who ruin it for us people who love to enjoy nature. A lot of that tire waste would make ground cover for a children's playground. Alot of the playgrounds in my area are going to ground up old tires as it is better for kids to fall on than crushed rock.
Stripping topsoil off a big area is what pans excel at.
Awesome job Mr.Justin...you have a way with dirt...working out nicely say hay to Chris as you work yourself by him for me...Go Team LetsDig18 ⭐👍⚡
Never seen one in that good of shape before
Loved working on these old machines in my younger days.
that seat had a belt at one time. from my understanding roller over protection and seat belts came in around the same time and it has a slot for the belt on the sides.
I never ran a pan with a seat belt BUT they would've come in handy!
That's one sweet machine.
you can tell he's done that before, usually they spin the hell out of the rear tires from too much down pressure. I used to run ts-24's. just put an engine in one and they have an air horn that would go off if they lost oil pressure, well as I was putting away tools the operator took oil pan off with a stump then wide open until it scattered the new engine, horn just screaming away
that must have made you sick i hope that guy got his walking papers for that.
How are you supposed to hear a horn with a 60 Series or a 12-V exploding right beside you? I can remember when the back 6-71 had straight pipes and you could just barely hear a hiss out of them wide open. Bus motors will always be bus motors. Still miss them.
Thats what u get for hiring the deaf guy
ACDC5540 You can LOOK at one of those things and go deaf.
Soooo... It sorta does the work of 3 machines? It scrapes (dozer), scoops (loader) and hauls (dumper)?
Amen! That machine loaded 14 yards of material on an average of a minute each load all by itself without an excavator or a push cat!
"....On that Red Dirt Road.........!"
O som dessas máquinas em especial o TEREX - TS 24 é lindo.
Seat belts are a must back in the 60s two scrapers were racing back to the yard and one hit huge rock the machine bounced around and but what the other guy seen was that the guys neck was snapped from hitting the roof just like the machine on this video open cab i believe its called well the length of that blokes neck was double
Ahh! Don't miss it! Operated them for years(Euclid/TS)14 and 18's. No air ride seat, no cab, no seat belt, no breaks.
Scoopers neck, knee to the gear box 20,000 times, shot out of the seat by a pot hole(I didn't see)4th gear. Rock thrown by tiers hit the apron then hit me.
no fanks.. no fanks alot. Got broken parts, an thats all I got. Yes that's Tubb
Wow awesome video right there 👏 👌 She's a powerful wee girl self loading without the aid of a pusher👍
Great stuff😊
What a beautiful machine. Would make a great Tonka!
Definitely
The Terex is as old as a T-rex and screams just as I imagine one would in real life.😂😂
Awesome engineering on that motor and cooling system for it to be revving that high all day and not overheat (I'm assuming)
The dump truck that picks up its own load...and it U-turns on a dime!!!😎
And need gallons of oil's every day haha! If they don't leak: means they are empty.
First one I was on(Euclid) no air ride seat, no seat belt, no cab, no brakes.
It did have a seat tho.
Big boys play ground. Love it
Look who it is, good ole Justin
Just love the TEREX Scrapper's, That DETROIT engine sounds Buitifull, Here is another going to my collection, 😊😊😊
Cutting Red Clay like that just shows the power that machine has. I can imagine it would fly through looser soils.
She only smokes, when she drinks.
is that rear axle locked?
No. Regular diff. Cats have a lock on the front but never saw a TeWreck with a lock on either end.
Most TS14s have a Detroit Locker in the rear diff which automatically locks both back wheels together under load.
So sweet, I miss working.
Tell Justin to go find some starting fluid gel tabs for cold weather starting. They go into the little oil cup looking things just above the superchargers. Makes cold starts way easier. Also tell Justin to function check the emergency kill levers every so often. The ONLY way to stop a runaway 6-71. Lol.
Old Terex, two old Detroit Diesels...perfect.
They're cool for about the first 2 loads and then you just want to get off of it.
Haha u have actually run one!!! Tired off 16 year old kids commenting on how to move dirt
Best way is to top load these old girls with a pc400 I don’t care what anybody says u can’t find good operators to run them and if u do they bug the shit out of u for dozer seat time
1 load would be more accurate. HA!
euclid was my grandfathers company....where are u located?
I'm a little disappointed that you didn't show it dumping the dirt... great video tho 👌
i couldnt run fast enough to get over there in time haha
Lying crazed in the bushes trying to recover from the 2-cycle screech!
Up till about 10 years ago I didn't know what the heck those machines did I thought they played dirt down but ya my bad lol bud great vid godbless
i dont think i have ever seen this in europe, we just use big wheel loaders for a little material, wheel loader with trucks for a lot and excavators + trucks for a shitton , ofc we also use graders to get everything level and smooth
should get up behind it in the dozer and give it a helping push.
Man dat brings back some memories, got my start on equipment 20 yrs ago runnin those same T-Rex TS14B's. 12 to 16 hrs a day 7 days a week 3 months straight. We ran 24hr/7 rediverting Capt.

Yessss ts-14s are the bomb diggity. This one is a bit tired lol but one of the best earthmoving machines ever made pound for pound.
guy I ran them for used to call the controls ape controls cause of how you hang your hand
2 stroke Detroits, the most efficient way to turn diesel into noise.
A wonderful video , informative !
I’ve no idea about how this thing operates but looks fairly straightforward. But why two engines? For four wheel drive I guess?
Correct has an air throttle on the back engine and air line shifters to both transmissions
I remember these when I was a kid.
I'm a Cummins guy but love the sound of Detroit's
The "G" version of this machine had QSB Cummins in them.
Terex Scraper, heavy machine front and rear motor, nice action Chris 😊
Get on that blade and help push Chris.
Trabalhei com um desses fazendo linha ferroviária de no trecho Campinas sp a Aguaí sp terex e tava escrito Tapajós
I ran pan's and also pushed them with D8R high track,we could move alot of dirt with a dozer pushing from behind.
Do they ever rip in front of it with a dozer or grader?
Justin appears to be collecting the soil from a shoulder cut as it is fairly loose.
I worked for road building outfit 1965 out of high school. We had a Euclid S7 and 12. A 7 Cat pushing and Allis Chambers 16 cable blade. I hate Detroit!
The reason detriots were popular is they did start in the cold,and add some more oil!
She has some very good Tyres, I envy this Guy, is this a play toy ? Brilliant, God Bless, Take care, 😊.
i lost track with how many engines this beast has
good Ole screamin demons!! love it
Oh the Green Dinosaurs and the Screaming Me Mes! LOL All you have to know to run them is that you will be deaf at the end of the day and FIRST LEVER!!! LOL The reason we still see so many of them are because the engines and tranny is so easy to rebuild. I worked for a company that had a fleet of TS-14 's and about 24 or the TS-24's.

I laugh, but man I have moved a ton of earth with those old screaming bastards! LOL
What does it do?
how deep can these scrapers go down in one pass?
With a big enough dozer about 2ft
Eu tenho uma impressão que o motorscrep da terex tem nais produvidade ,do que mesmo da caterpila 657 tem menas potência nos motores do os da terex
My dad operated one of these machines on the benmore dam Mackenzie basin nz
OK .No dozer to push with ? D8 or D9 ? Nice video . Thanks.
What sounds better than a screaming jimmy?
2 of them.
standing between a pair of marine 6-71s at 1900 rpms in a boat is quite the effect also.. even with decent mufflers you can feel them.
How much equipment does Justin own?
the only scraper that comes back from a wet hole loaded
When diesel fuel was cheep..
I cut my teeth on one of those. Rode a few times around the job site with the boss man, and he turned me loose. I was scared to death! It had five fwd speeds and would go probably 45mph. Need to stop quick? Put the bowl down! I held up production because I was so green and timid, and the dozer operators were ready to kill me. Boss pulled me off and stuck me in a ditch with a grade rod and shovel for a couple weeks in the middle of a NC January, and before long I was begging to get back in the seat. It didn't take me long to figure it out the second time around!
Operated at 6:37 push me pull kneecap never operated one of those but in that cat I could load it a lot Fuller than that I would have dirt falling off the side of it it was so full
love watching them old pans work. I miss Terex and Euclid machines. To bad you don't see scrapers that much anymore at least not here on Ohio. Mostly dozers track hoes and ADT's
We had a guy that used to strip the black dirt in the pit I was working in only a couple years ago with basically that machine except it had a cab
I work in bismarck north Dakota for a company that has 3 green ts14b one ts14d and 2 white ts14g. Really neat seeing them all working
Hey Chris what ever happened to the 140 u guys still using that
I never ran one of these scrapers. Ran a Cat 619 with a push Cat.
after my 2 years on a cat 619 and being push loaded by a D8. I got a ts14..wouldn't get back on one of those single engine cat 619 ever again.
is this in georgia
i never have figured out how they are synched up so one motor isnt doing all the work
South Carolina cold start: 65 degrees F. LOL
We used to use Terex 72-51 Loaders in Northern Ireland in the Forces for clearing road blocks and burning vehicles when the riots were on.
The screaming Detroit Diesel used to clear the reprobates fairly quickly especially in the wee hours of the morning in a built up area 😉👍🏼
Crushed many a mans pride n joy in my 4/1 Bucket in Belfast.
Very antiquated machine but strong as an ox and seldom broke down which is handy in an area where people would like to kill you.
The armoured cab was a bastard to operate from within due to the thickness of the glass ( 50 Cal proof)
Happy days listening to those engines screaming away tho ear defenders would be advisable methinks.
One good thing ( if there is any) those 14s can sit on a steep slope, and almost walk on water lol. I ran almost 2:1 backslopes sitting on my arm rest. Dirty; noisy, rough, and hot things to run.
This guy is ballsy I don’t leave first
Scrapper action?
old green bean is pretty awesome!
run one of these old ts-14's in nov. on a job in in Michigan about froze to death.
Some guys never stopped playing in the sand..........
Sort of a Detroit-powered earth-planer?
I want one, just for the sound.
Tremendous sound of screaming Detroits in their happy place.
Belly scrapers always fascinate me! I never could see to understand how the controls were run to control both ends of them.
Air lines
God help that poor man having to listen to 2 Detroits at the same time.. ohh.. they do start better if you let the fuel stop go back in slow as you crank... as the injector rack is at full throttle until it fires.
I would have liked to see the unload or spreading and some explanation.
that carolina red dirt 😍
6 and 4-71?
Nice size loads for no assist. U want to have some fun , try running one of the old S-7’s, 3 speed manual shift, you need a push to get any kind of a load.
