Link Belt Speeder Shovel

:?: How long was the Model LS50 made? Was it a good machine? Are there any parts available? Thanks, Dave.

Dave,

I don't know a whole lot about Link Belts, but I think they are generally considered very good machines.

A quick Google search turned up a brochure and spec sheet at Link Belt's website:

(scroll down to the LS50 listing)

Jensales lists a manual for the machine:

These guys say they can supply parts:

Good Luck,

Thanks, Hugh, for the information. It was a big help. I think this is going to be a nice shovel. I am going to send for a manual which will really help out a lot. Thanks again, Dave :D
