Does anyone on here have info on these? Such as: how many were built, is there literature and parts available, are there any still in operation? I saw one that looked operable at the Le Sueur Minn. tractor show but the owner was not around. A BIG interesting crawler with kind of " space age" styling. Thanks J.Bailey

6-71 is the model of the blower, it could supply enough air for 6 cylinders at 71 cubes each. the early detroits were actually 2-stroke engines.

Hi, J. Bailey. The Euclid TC 12, later the Terex 82-80, was essentially two Euclid C6 crawlers of, originally, about 180 hp each, placed side by side with the adjoining tracks removed and a support frame put in place to hold them together as one unit. At the time of their introduction, they were the largest crawler tractor manufactured. I understand also that the power went up to 440 hp when Euclid uprated the C6 to 220 hp. Floating the beast was apparently a work of art too. I'm told the accepted method was to park two floats (lowboys) side by side and run one track up on each. The connecting links, equaliser bar, etc. were then disconnected and the two floats driven separately to the next site. Re-assembly was basically the reverse of the dis-assembly but made slightly more difficult by the need to line everything up again while still on the floats. For more info., see the link below. Hope this helps. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

from it`s conception the tc-12 was designed to be the most powerful,maneuverable,and productive crawler in the world. It was to be unlike any other big crawler the industry had ever seen. The super dozer dozer(TC-12)&The C6 started development in 1953 C6 standing for crawler 6 cylinder TC-12 standing for twin power dozer 12 cylinder The prototype TC-12 started testing in july 1954 Were as the c6 didn`t start testing until may 1955 Therefore the TC-12 was euclid`s first dozer. In january 1966 Euclid oficially changed the designation of the TC-12 crawler line to the 82-80 series also the C6 become to be known as the 82-30 iT WASN`T until december 1964 that other model`s started UP to help bridge the gap between the TC-12 & the C6 In 1969 they were to be known as TEREX instead of Euclid
