GM bought Euclid back in the fifties, but was forced to sell it in 1968 due to an antitrust suit. GM then formed Terex, and continued to produce many of the Euclid products under the Terex name.
My dad had a Terex/Euclid TTS-14 tandem scraper. These are relatively rare machines based on the popular TS-14 twin-engine scraper. The TTS-14 had two scraper bowls, one behind the other. The resulting 70 foot long machine had three 4-71 Detroit engines driving six tires through three six speed Allison transmissions. It was ideally suited for the sandhills of northeastern Colorado, as it could load itself without help from a push-cat. The TTS-14 could do the work of two 14 yard scrapers and a push-cat, yet only needed a single operator. The transmissions and rear engines were operated through air controls, so the rear engines only had two throttle settings: idle and wide-open. The front engine had a mechanical throttle, but since its pedal was right next to the air throttle you always ran all three engines WOT.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
