Veteran Euclid scraper is a star attraction

Came across these You Tube clips recently and it inspired me to post them here on the Digger Man Blog for all the scraper lads to enjoy.

This Euclid S7 single engined motor scraper is often a star attraction at events held in America by the Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCEA). The machine is a 1954/55 model and takes its power from a (GM) 4-71 Detroit Diesel engine offering a power output rating of 143hp, driving a Clark 5 speed manual transmission. The machine had a 7 cubic yard struck capacity and a heaped capacity rating of 9 cubic yards. 21d0e60f544c53be201d2f5f76bce843

Just listen to her screaming with the operator sat right next to the exhaust stack, with no ear defenders in sight!
