Euclid Blade-Veyors

[stretch]

I was looking up some pics when I came across these, among a dozen others, of an Euclid-Blade-Veyor, pulled by an IH crawler, loading more Euc's on the New Jersey Turnpike in 1951. Contractor was Savin Construction Corp. of East Hartford, CT. I was wondering if anyone had more pics or info on them, as they sure look like neat machines. Are any of them still left?

That's a neat rig kind of like a scraper with an elevator to load trucks just drag and load. :drinkup

I dont know about that Terex version but there are other makes about still. Cant for the life of me remember what they are called :Banghead there are quite a few pictures on here if only I could remember the name to do a search.

You might be thinking of Holland Loaders. They came about years after the B-V was discontinued in the 1950's, and are also quite a bit larger. But to clarify things, I was talking about if any Euclid loaders survived.

Look's like a hi output machine for back then and now.

That thing must have been a pretty aggressive dirt mover considering they have two machines permanently attached to it.

Actually, I think that's a separate pushdozer. From other pictures I've seen of them, there were a couple with other dozers pushing. This one looks like a Cat.

I've got three or four photos of a belt-veyor on the Ohio Turnpike construction. I'll upload them when I get off probation with the webmaster.

Ok, is that rear machine connected or does it just push?

 

[Taylortractornu]

That rear tractor is just a muley push tractor. They have that cup shaped push plate. I had a spec sheet on an old blade veyor that had a set of tracks under it. One benefit of an unconected tractor is that in a turn you can let off that and not push the rig over. An older friend of mine here ran both of the Holland Loaders here on the Tenn Tom waterwy. They had a flat cut and one was a verticle cutter. i think his had D9's under it. In a turn at the end of a cut was always another larger dozer with a winch. Therear unit had remote controls to the front but them working right was hit or miss. The only real trouble for one was keeping enough trucks there to offbear. An oldtimer that recently past away gotto run a Blade veyor onetime up north. The said it was amazint to watch it load. If a belly dump was delayed in getting under the chute it waould let material ride up the belt a way and clump up. Then when the clutch was dropped it really loaded the wagons in a few seconds. he said with a crew that had all worked together and knew what the other men were doing a massive amount of soil was moved in a days time.

Thanks, was wondering what IH model was pulling.

Great pics MillernKS, are those D8's pulling and pushing? If you or anyone else has more pics/info please post them, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd enjoy seeing these old beasts.

the front tractor in the second set of pics is an Allis-Chalmers. Not sure what model. HD-19? HD-20?

Well this one might be a repeat but I would have done anything for a enclosed cab in the winter. Using so much ether to fire this rig up in the winter was a pain in the ass! Not to mention the frigid air in 5th gear hammer down!

I lived in a boy's home and vocations were very important and I was actually shown in a brochure to get more donations circa 1985.
