The TS-24 scraper: an overview by Richard Campbell • The Euclid TS-24 was a development of the Euclid TS-18, which was Euclid’s first two-axle, twin powered motor scraper (This TS-18 by the way should not to be confused with the later Terex TS-18). • First introduced in 1957, the TS-24 was in continuous production in various versions right up until the late 1990s, by which stage it was known as the Terex TS-24B Loadrunner, and bore little resemblance to its forebears, other than in its cubic capacity. • In this article we will focus solely on the machines manufactured prior to the Terex name change – that is the pre-1968 models. • Basically a ‘stretched’ version of the previous TS-18, the TS-24 was initially powered by a General Motors model 6-110, six-cylinder, supercharged diesel, rated at 317 horsepower in the tractor unit, and a General Motors model 6-71, six-cylinder, supercharged diesel rated at 210 horsepower in the scraper. • Hydraulically actuated Allison three-speed powershift transmissions were used in both ends – a model CLT5360 in the front and a type TG604 in the rear. • For quite a large machine the TS-24 was capable of a fair turn of speed reaching almost 30 miles an hour (50kph). • Exceptionally well constructed, the Euclid TS-24 used a bowl very similar to the company’s model S-18 single-engined scraper, but with a redesigned rear frame that was longer and incorporated engine and transmission mountings. • Capacity was 24 cubic yards struck and 32 cubic yards heaped. • The familiar Euclid single-acting ram and lever arrangement was used for bowl and apron operation, while a three-stage single acting cylinder took care of the ejector. • • Thanks for checking out NZ Contractor magazine's Euclid TS24 clip. • These clips are made from images published in conjunction with classic machine reviews at http://www.contractormag.co.nz/catego... • Captions and associated images have all been uploaded to Pinterest / contractormag • Author Richard Campbell has sourced these images; Richard also blogs at http://www.contrafedupdate.me • ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ • Remember this company? https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=U vide... • ~-~~-~~~-~~-~
