To work out the last time it ran you just need to count the rings of the tree growing through it Matt 😂🍻
😂 now youre thinkin
Best answer ever 👍🏻🤣🍀
But it might have been a few years before seeds took root so that would be a minimum!
Thanks Matt 👌👍🍺
Last time I took a bath I simply count the rings around the tub,
As a retired Euclid executive, I am so proud of what this company contributed to the US construction and mining industries. Seeing this old truck run after all these years is a testament to the quality that was built into these products.
"Hold on this tree is in the fan" my favorite quote. too good Matt
The resilience of diesel equipment continues to amaze me. I can see myself becoming a convert.
Wanna do it fast before there banned. Disgraceful the way things are going.
As someone who has worked underground, I recognize what this truck was used for immediately... This would have been the powder rig. Commonly called a "powder monkey." As a blaster, this is what we used to load shots underground, to advance the mine... I've never seen one mounted on a Euc like this, ours was on an old Gettman... But I'm 99% sure that's what this was used for. That air tank on the side was likely used for the pneumatic loading of ANFO.
I love that
Likely you are right. Like for blasting power dam tunnels.
What did you mine, if you don’t mind me asking?
Literally says it in the video
Boom truck literally
Machines like this are national treasures 😲
@@floatpool8307 because we live in the usa and have an opinion
I agree. It would be a very unique piece restored.
Yes for sure
@@floatpool8307 just wish the truck got a fully restoration dawg and move along .
Why do you watch this type of content if you don't have any appreciation for what goes into it?
When the following three phrases are said while getting a vehicle or machine running, you know the dedication to the cause is 100%:
“Gonna use all the ether”
“Something’s on fire, no like real fire!!”
“Let me wedge the machete in right here.”
Great video and great job getting the Euclid running!!
Just when I thought you were to smart to hang out with me this happened.
There's just something about your videos that I love. I think it's the no nonsense, logical approach you take and there's as much of you in the videos as there is the machines.
The no nonsense, logical leaving of all the trees so they have to fight just to see or get into the truck? ROTFLSHIAPMP.
My logic: First, clear the brush so you can at least see what you're working on.
@@ljprep6250 agreed, not a whole lot of logic in that.
@@FishFind3000 I recall Matt saying 'for now' as they were clearing the area. I would expect it will be pulled out once the space is leveled and put on proper display.
Thanks for keeping history alive Matt.
Machines that built this country. Thank you for keeping them alive.
I had this weird little song going through my head while you all were getting the truck started, "Come with me, and you'll see, a world of OSHA violations!"
As a 10yo boy in Westport NZ, in 1950, our house was nearby the NZ Govt. Public Works Department workshops. Often times on the weekends there were Euclid and Dart dump trucks parked opposite the shops awaiting maintenance. My siblings and friends and i would go and sit in the cabs of these monsters where our imaginations would run wild. Personally i preferred playing in the Darts which had a much nicer dash layout than the Euclid. These vehicles were used at the opencast coal mines at Millerton and Stockton for hauling coal. Bob. New Zealand.
My wife is a Westport girl. Living in Oz now.
That means you're 83 already. I love old folks sharing their memories on the internet. God bless you.
@@bellezayverdad Thank you Gines. I'm 83 tomorrow, the third eldest of 6 son's and one daughter. All still living except for one of the twins, Graham, now deceased. ❤
Thank u for sharing... from new plymouth , nz
@@Chopper650 Thank you for acknowledging, my dear wife and i are at Lower Hutt. Bob.
Hi Matt, makes my day complete watching your content.
This is by far the funniest video you've made to date.
😂😂😂😂😂
The cans of..... Everything but ether, the birdnest that shot out, mechette throttling, fires and battery welding.
OMG, I needed a laugh. Thank you!
“Uhhhh, something’s on fire. I mean, a real fire!” Kicks violently at engine. “Nuhhh, I think it’s going out.” 😂😂😂
Awesome, nothing better than a Diesel Creek video.
I loved the to watch the Euclid scrapers build the subdivision near us in the early 1960s. A neighbor kid somehow got the pony motor started and RAN! The little pony ran for quite a while…
The flames coming out the exhaust 😂 great video as always 26:10 @Diesel Creek
Love the new opening panning shot using a drone. Sam and you work well together Matt approaching the problem with a good sense of humour rather than irritation.
Your work ethic is exceptional.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Congrats Matt and crew on finally getting the 50's Euclid off road truck started and running. cool old truck..
There needs to be a museum.That preserves and restores history like these machines!
It ALWAYS amazes me how you can get all these old beasts to fire up! I have more fun watching this channel than I do watching anything on TV.
Comes complete with the only tool you'll ever need: A ball peen hammer😁 Have a great weekend Matt👍
Hehe. That moment when I come home, looking for a video to watch, realizing that you have just published a new one, only two minutes ago!
I never get tired of seeing these videos. I wish these machines could talk so I can hear the history of them helping to forge this country. They are beautiful in my eyes. Great job again Matt.
I love these "will it start and drive" videos, i just cant stop watching these :). Also you're really good saving vehicles, and really nice to watch and listen. Keep up the good work
Afternoon Matt!! VERY COOL!! I've always had a soft spot for these vintage trucks, growing up in Michigan, in a town that once was considered the gravel capital of the world (encyclopedia Britannica), as a kid I loved going through the gravel pit junk yards, these vintage Euclids we're part of those junkyards, I remember one sand/gravel pit used vintage WC2264 Whites used as pit trucks, the coolest dump truck I found was a 1930's Bull Dog Mack which was sunk up to the Axles in the mud...most of the pits are gone, new subdivisions we're built in there place.
👆👆📩✉️
"The trees really add to the ambiance!" 😂
Amazing how those old machines fire up after so many years..thanks for sharing Matt and stay safe.
Some pretty cool old pieces! The video blacks out for about 20 seconds at 20:15 but comes back. Thanks for sharing!
Sorry 🤦🏼♂️
Was just long enough to catch attention but not Long enough to get checked out
Euclids have always been such beautiful machines. Such a great find mate
Euclid sounds like a name of a disease...a rare one... and this brand is really rare
@@kirdot2011more like a flower or a plant to me.
@@martymartin2894 actually now that I think about it... You're right
It is a tragedy when rare a beautiful machines like that Euclid get left to rot. I really appreciate you giving her another chance to run; she deserves to be restored. Euclids are rare and really, really neat trucks
Got to love the Exhaust Muffler is on the roof with easy Access 😂 wow She Started for a few seconds 8:54 @Diesel Creek
Man! That old B61 on the passenger side of the Euclid is a beauty. That’s something to fix up and restore for sure!
Matt, absolutely love watching your videos and learn something every time. I do haave to say though that this has to be the funniest episode from you I have seen yet! "Something son fire!.. No, something's REALLY on fire! OK it's out, won't catch fire again... it's burnt out" Reminded me so much of me and my friend's antics growing up when doing similar stuff! Obviously glad nobody got hurt, and looking forward to your next episode!
I really enjoyed the show, can't believe I drove by that place for almost a year hauling cement to the route 43 road job and never realized what it was. And it was awesome to meet you Matt, maybe see ya again next spring and thanks for taking a minute to shake my hand and chat for a few! Awesome video as always
I love Brownsville, Pa. And SWPa. My parents grew up in West Brownsville and Blainssurg. I have a ton of great memories as i sit here in Chesterfield County, Va. I miss SWPa, my home.
We just got my wifes grandpas old Massey mf35 made in 1957 started that had stood still outside for 25 years. Its amazing how sturdy stuff were made back then
Matt, the Euclid is a treasure so it is good to see you driving it around the grounds. It was nice to see you operating the drag shovel. Blessing to you.
I subscribe to about 20 channels on equipment, construction and boat building. If there's a new DC vid, it always goes first. Thanks Matt.
Thanks so much Peter!
didn't even have to check for spark, runs off 20 year old gas, didn't need to air up the tires, no wheels were stuck, and it sounds and runs like new. wow, very believable revival!
I know absolutely nothing about those trucks and machines you guys bring back to life, but man do I ever love watching you do it - and learning new stuff along the way. Cheers.
I love the look of those old boxy trucks
My Dad drove an old Euclid dump like that in a coal mine in Northeast England.
I like the fact that a picnic table is so conveniently close: what a beautiful backdrop or view while eating.
Last time I saw a Euclid was on at a cane sugar farm in north Queensland Australia. It was what looked like a flat bet truck but it also was supporting the local wild life. It had been sitting there for decades according to a local 👍
I started to get worried no video today. Then Matt pops in with this gem. What a great time. Before we start it we have to chainsaw this tree out of the way lol
Matt, in 50 years from now when you're old and all busted up like me, you'll get the real buzz again like i just did watching this old Euclid bust back into life.
Many thanks for what you do, and even greater thanks for sharing it all with us.
David in the UK.
This channel is so addictive that i yelled "CONTACT" to start my old 68 timber jack the other morning!! Lol 😂
It’s amazing what people still want for those things lol
Good old Trusty Lorain fired right Up no hesitation 19:40 @Diesel Creek
Love seeing a diesel creek notification, The Best!
Always enjoy watching you work your Magic on the equipment that has not breathed for years and bringing them back to LIFE. Thanks for sharing with us.
That bird's (squirrel's?) nest torpedo coming out of the exhaust at 9:17 was hilarious!
I admire your ability to see what is wrong and jump in and make it work.
Like your since of humor, I know that probably many folks don’t get it.
Really enjoy seeing you and Sam collaborating on the projects. I hope to one day make it to the steam show
Afternoon Matt
Was that a rats nest that exited the Exhaust 9:15
Great video lovely see all these old vehicles actually working
Maybe bird nest
Or a "Mouse House"
Eviction notice was served
I think it was a baby opossum
Seeing that Lorraine scooping up drit like nothing, not even struggling (as I would expect) is just such incredible eye candy
I've been up close to one of those old Euclids at a truck show years back. It looked like it was in the same condition as this one but did run. They're just big old dinosaurs!
Just thought you might want to know, I don’t speak for others, but do for some! WE look forward to your videos, weekly, and even sooner ( as you post them).
I ALWAYS click on the “up vote” on EVERY video of yours. I’m sure these videos take a ton of time to get together, but I hope you are getting enough to compensate for your time. Either way, thank you for EVERYTHING you do.
Having the JEEP there was a bonus, something of your own you can drive around and showcase and it fits right in :D
Great video Matt. I love any machine as long ass it's old. As a young kid in the early 50's I'd stop by Delta Crop Dusting service in Monroe, Louisiana on my way home from school. They were the precursors of Delta Airlines. They built their own aircraft for crop dusting and it was like watching a big model kit being put together. I was no trouble so they would sit me on a stool, give me a 5 cent Coke and let me watch. They would answer any questions I had if it wasn't too many. I got my love of airplanes and flying then. Still today, I think REAL airplanes have two wings and round propeller engines.

Great video Matt. Nice to see the old machines start up. Enjoyed watching
Weeell,it's Matt off to rescue some old antique steel again from a small Forrest of saplings.
Of course he got it runnin'.
Ya gotta be a fool if ya thought he couldn't or wouldn't have it puuuring like a Tom Cat feed a big can tuna fish.
That was a huge treat for my Tabby Cheech.
When I moved outta the Keys back to Miami he refused to move again and abandoned my Bebita Wife Maria and I then tricked our nieghbors into adopting him.
Lot of old cool equipment there , reminds me of antique engine and power show that's coming up in july in Kirtland, Ohio at the Farmpark . Should be a big show . Thanks for sharing !
"Someties I think you are too smart to hang out with me... than Things like this happens"
😂😂😂
Awesome stuff!
What a beautiful machine (and no, I'm not being sarcastic). Starts up after all that time, steers and even seems to have brakes.
The brakes are a surprise yeah, thought for sure that there were too many air leaks
Sat for 20 years and it fired up with a little help. Then you just drove it out! That is too cool!
Thanks Matt she didn't give too much of a fight and you could tell she was ready to get out of the spot she sat in for twenty years. Six stars brother
Great content Matt. I always like to watch younger guys working vintage Machines. 👍
Y’all have to work together more often that was an absolute riot to watch
Matt. Just saw Celebrity Facts on TH-cam. So little of your personal life and a BIG Congrads on your Marriage. Love your Content. Love your abilities. I live in a Residential Area in No Jersey and not much room. I'm 81 and very mechanically inclined. Watch every Video and always review all new Videos. Remember our Veterans.
Those old steam shovels certainly required some good eye/ hand coordination. Excellent video.
Didn't even need a case (ether)! ... I feel my chainsaw skills improved watching this one. Great Video(s) Matt. Thank you for all this excellent content.
I love your videos Matt! The production quality is so good! 😃
don't think I've ever rooted for or been more proud of a machine as I was for that old Euclid, real old soldier.
I liked that big rat nest that blew out of the exhaust. LOL
Just found this channel and love it well done
Keep up the good work Matt!
There are not too many UTUBERS that I look forward to watching, but I can say that you are one of the top! When I see you up loaded a new video I watch it right away, never disappointed! My wife would never let me do what you get away with!!!!! I hope you know you are lucky!!!! You must make a shit ton of money, or she would not go along with this!!!!!!
Literally a bunch of adults playing in the dirt. I love it 😂
Pretty sure I never saw "wedge the machete" as a step in my old Chiltons. Love the gonzo debugging!
The concrete deck on the back for weight. A little different deck for a truck. Don't have to worry about rust 😄
Gostei do vídeo meu amigo 👏
Spotted the hammer and thought. That’s the starter key😂😂😂
The blue crane @ "0:28" , in the foreground, is that a "Priestman", I worked around those for Construction / Civil giant "Wilkins & Davies" out in the colonies of New Zealand 🇳🇿 some 35 plus years ago.
Good video, love seeing old stuff come back to life. So gutted that we don't have such cool trucks in England. I guess you may be on a time limit, but there are checks i would do before connecting batteries e.t.c. Wouldn't want to damage the engine or its components. Keep up the good work.
It's awesome to see you reviving these old cable machines, it's cool to get to see them run and operate again
We were at the steam show on Sunday, but did not get a chance to talk to you this year. It is always a good time there watching all the old and antique equipment run and operate. We did see you cruising around in the ole Jeep a couple times tho. It is great they have the room there to preserve all of this history!
My buddies dad taught me about a crank rods when I was 15, I'm 51. He was a Dr. of Diesel from Wilson Tech. He was good. When I watch these videos it's my buddy and I down in Apex off Bob Horton Rd. again. Thank you for making these and letting us tag along.
Awesome video. My son was so excited to meet you. Thank you for taking the time to have a picture taken with him in the rain.
It was great to hear the old euclid running. She sounded pretty good. Great video Matt. Thanks for sharing.
The trees really add to the ambience! Love it! Maybe I'm weird, but the videos when you are fighting trees and mud and nature in general are my favorites.
I'm amazed how you guys bring life into these old machines.
One thing that really riles me up . . . Guys, if you're gonna just leave a truck sit for years, wind the windows up and close the doors!
You Matt, get the best professional video award.
100% content, presentation, interesting and we look forward to everyone of your uploads.
Love your work.🏆
It's truly amazing how those diesels run so good after sitting that long!
I grew up down the road from the Euclid factory and would ride my bike down there and watch them run the units around their test track. Good times!
The “Semi Super Villains” with what sounds like total acoustic guitars are so good! I’ve enjoyed the music for the past year but haven’t taken the time to write to you.
here in the u k my dad drove a EUCLID when i was a boy . i am now 74 . we had a thriving coal industry ,no more. he dumped spoil from the mine onto the surrounding area called the pit bank . the type he drove was actually like the one behind this one .
