Take a look at this old gem. It’s a Warner Swasey H550. This old machine sits a stretch of road outside of Rome, NY that is home to a few other goodies including yet another H550! I believe many years ago I shared a post of an old Mack from this general location along with a former mobile command unit of the SPD. It looks this machine is capable of moving under it’s own power via a Detroit Diesel….as the good Lord intended.
Nice. I remember the Town of Skaneateles used to have one of these.
If I remember Right this is a HOPTO 5/8 YD. BACKHOE. iT WAS usually pOWERED WITH A 4-53 DETROIT.
