Hi, Djmayer.
Back in their day, they were pretty popular amongst pipeliners for excavating trench for pipe. All the reports I have heard seemed to indicate that they were a powerful and robust brand of machines. They also made wheeled excavators and truck mounted Gradall-style units.
Here izza link to an e-bay search page that may have some useful information, parts books, etc..

Lol, the ole "hop to it!" Good machines, if you can, over the Detroit music, listen to the pumps for howling, growling or whining. Check for cracks, etc.

Hi, Djmayer.
ROME K/G has given a good suggestion in his post. The only thing I would add to it is to be sure that the hydraulic fluid level is high enough that the pumps are not starving for something to pump 'cos that will make them whine and howl too.

Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
