Quite an interesting story indeed. Read this:

This is a pretty good book on Euclid:

https://www.amazon.com/Euclid-Earthm.../dp/1583881298

GM started developing a range of crawlers (bulldozers) in the early 50's on their own and decided to buy Euclid so as to be able to offer a full range of heavy equipment. Detroit Diesel Division and Allison were also very much involved in the operation, and I think the result kept Caterpillar engineers up nights for many years.
