I remember in the early 70's seeing double bowl TS-24s working on I-90 in central Washington. Looked like quite the handful to run. They were custom built by the contractor that owned them.

TS14s Lots of 4-71 noise running in new channel for the Colorado river at the Az-Calif, Ripley border-over the wooden bridge. 115F @ 9am, keeps you toasty. No ROPS, just a small fiberglass canopy. NO seat belts.

TS14s air controlled throttles, rear engines would stick on an rolls the front scraper over. Center axle housing breaks off; borrow align jig from Euclid dealer and repair.

Rear-Rear 4-71 would run the longest hours between overhauls. Fan blades disappeared from sand wear.

Teenage adventures, LOL

This one only has a front and rear engine, the front bowl isn't powered but has a planetary axle. Hard to see what the rear engine is. But definitely not a 6-71 inline.
Not TS14 like op's post
Looks like rear engine is 8V-71

i feel a 6-110 dose not really howl. there more like a growl a DD trying to sound like a CAT. i would like to have one some day in my collection that's for sure as they have a sound all of there own . i am really supersized that he got a patent for something so old / something that was done by Euclid as well back in the day. plus it seems that scraper are coming out of favor more and more. maybe with CAT's new auto load scraper crap they be able to put ATD driver's in them and still not have to know anything heck it might be better as they won't even need to know how to back up just keep going around in circles. lol i guess that goes to show how much good a patent is.
