    Like you, I have never seen one of their excavators. I hope someone can post a photo here, if they ever really produced any.

    They also made a sleek looking 100 ton? truck crane in the Duluth plant about that time period. Most were fitted with rail trucks and sold to the railroad. I have not seen one for years. A few friends worked there. EDIT. Found this 60 ton for sale. Guess they are out there. This one is not the low cab sleek design though.

    Cranes make sense as they made many RT cranes.
