Sneak preview of our January 2024 machine profile- Sneak preview of our January 2024 machine profile-  on the Euclid S-18 scraper⁣
⁣
Caption: Physically larger than the first production 27LOT S-18 model, the 30LOT Euclid S-18 was the ultimate iteration of the machine. Comparison with the earlier model reveals new planetary covers, revised operators’ step, solid rear wheel hubs, a new scraper spill guard and a ‘beefier’ appearance. Image dated 1960. (Photo: Author’s collection)⁣

⁣
Caption: What the well-dressed logging tractor wore in 1949. This HD-19 has factory installed sweeps and lightweight canopy with a Baker narrow blade (especially for logging), front mounted PCU and a Carco J series winch on the rear. ROPS was an unknown word in those days and today the machine would not be allowed on a skid site! ⁣

⁣
Caption: From a contemporary Euclid publication dated 1955, this is the first production version of the Euclid S-18. Notice the ‘dimpled’ front planetary covers, driver’s footstep inset into the frame, and the lightening holes cut into the rear scraper wheel hubs – all trademark features of an early 27LOT Euclid S-18.⁣

Caption: Seen at the late (great) Ian Martin’s depot on the Hauraki Plains near Thames is one of two Allis-Chalmers HD-19s that his company operated. This photo was taken in 1982 when the machine was being prepared for yet another job. Cable control unit on the rear is a Caterpillar No 25.⁣

⁣
Caption: Largest of the LaPlant-Choate single axle scrapers was the model C-81 with a rating of 8½ cubic yards. This particular example appears to be on its first outing and is being pulled by a Caterpillar RD-7, These scrapers had the weight and power to do quite a bit of damage quickly as this example shows in rocky clay. ⁣

⁣
Caption: Shown dumping topsoil behind a Caterpillar D7, this LaPlant-Choate Model C-41 was the smallest of three different sized single axle scrapers the company offered.⁣
With a capacity of almost four cubic yards, it was an ideal sized tool for small townships that needed to shift a bit of earth.⁣
