there was also an S7E which was a 12 yard elevating model
that model had a 4-71 GM in the front with a 4 speed allison transmission and had a 2-71 GM on the back just to run the elevators which used a air clutch and air throttle
it used the same front as the 7 yard open bowl model
i think some of the first of the open bowl models may have had a fuller manual transmission in them ??
they were a all hydraulic machine but had a cable attached to the apron

Always loved the "bug eye" headlights.

This is one on you tube. Just search "euclid s-7"
This one appears to have a 4 cyle engine installed.

Nice little machines, but I haven't seen one in many years.

Search the equipment for sale trade magazines, you might also check over to the antique owners association website. If anyone knows where one is for sale, they would.

Good Luck.

Dad start out on a Euclid S7 scraper as a kid. He said they would roll over back ward in a 90 degree turn if you up shifted them and let off the clutch too fast. Also roading them they would start to duck walk and it would get bigger and bigger till they flipped. Dad said they were good pans. He ran one for a long time when his dozer was down or not required. They had a job to do near the pickwick dam and his S7 just had a rebuild on it. He was going down a long bottom about 5 miles from the shop and noticed the motor started in creasing revs. Dad said letting the throttle off didnt help and pulling the kill wasnt helping either. He said it was going about 40 and started the duck walk. He pulled off the side of the road onto the shoulder and dropped the bowl. He said gravel was bouncing over the tractor and into him and past the machine. He never could choke it so he clutched it and knocked it out of gear and let it over heat and wind. His boss was po ed but it happens. I think he told me the governor bolts backed out.

A few came to the bottom of the world in NZ, were quite a good little scraper. Was also made in pomland but was fitted with a Leyland AU600 motor.
Many were converted to towed scoops behind D6 size dozers and you still see a few working.
