Inscription. Offered with 3 different engines at the buyer's preference, this model, the 71TD, was the most powerful. With a Diesel GM motor of 348 hp, the R-30 Euc (pronounced Yewk) was a 30-ton off road hauler with a 6-speed transmission. The ribs on the sides of the dump body were added to strengthen it to prevent twisting when being filled with large, heavy loads in gravel mines and rock quarries.
Acquired by Robert Trump in 2007, it was a gift to his wife Ann Marie who fully supported and shared his love for these classic construction machines. In her honor, her name was inscribed on the operator's door.
