Thanks! I do not think it is possible to take a bad picture of that tractor. Sure would look good with a Euclid dozer sitting on the trailer...

I second this.

A friend of mine saw your truck in action down near philly and his jaw just about dropped out I understand. Jeff- where is that euclid located(looks like a terex-when did they change over)? I have to stop and see that thing-awesome.

It was at Jim MacFadden's yard in Sharron Springs NY

Jeff, I think they had inline 6-71 engines. It is a sight seeing one split and hauled on two trailers. A friend of mine has told stories of pushing pans around the sides of WV mountians with one. Nothing better if tuned properly. I am partial to the C-6. Brian, 1968.

Yeah. 1 Motor for each track!! Its a 1961 TC-12. Brian- Pretty sure it was on Rt 20 at McFaddens equipment.

i remember seeing an article in Antique Power magazine a few years ago about some guy digging a Euclid similar to that out of a flooded pit somewhere. I think it was in either New Zealand or Australia.

Mcfadden used to just be into antique tractors. He must be branching out. He bought a Cat d8H I was interested in but he probably saved me. It had head or counterbore issues which could have gotten crazy. Still I want a d8H someday

. My dad's partner had one and I ran it some.Getting hard to move them though-escort.

He's in to a little bit of everything. Still has 4 auctions a year, antiques, new tractors, used farm equipment, construction equipment, the occasional truck. And they all "Run the Best"

He probably buys most stuff back. My father went to auction 5-6 years ago and he let alot of stuff go for bargains. We bought two fordson major parts tractors reasonable but I guess it was a rarity.

I've heard a million stories about the games he plays... Ever notice that stuff is often sold to phone bidders? yea, they don't exist

Beautiful day for amove
