I haven't seen any posts about Euclid trucks, just curious, are there no problems or have they all been scrapped?

GM bought them out years ago and made the trucks and equipment under the TEREX name.
I think TEREX was bought out by another co. since, can't remember which, I am sure it has been discussed here somewhere, run a search here on Euclid or TEREX
Clark bought Euclid and Lima Crane back in late 70's or early 80's, then got tied up with Volvo to create VME (Volvo Michigan Euclid), Lima was shut down. Euclid was based in Clevland and had factory in Ontario, Canada. As far as I know it is still part of Volvo Construction Machinery, but may have been sold off since I left VME. Clark went to Ingersol Rand except for Michigan which stayed with Volvo and Transmission Div which went to Hurth.
There are still a dozen or so running in my neck of the woods. We replaced the old 2 stroke Detroits in the B-70 belly dumps to the 60 series a few years back. It was a big improvement. We always joke that the guy pointing at the sky on their emblem meant "take it to the shop".
