anyone got a clue as to what model it actually is?

I don't have anything for you, but did guess it being a sumitomo, having an izuzu motor in it and all. Most of the excavators that old that are still kicking around are a lot bigger than that little guy, its function of initial cost or something. Info is going to be scarce, since it's old, small, and gray market.

One thing to look into would be a similar Link-Belt model. I'm not sure how far back Link-belt excavators are connected to Sumitomo, but that might be something others can speak to.

thanks, i guess im pretty much screwed lol.
Nobody will buy it without some info on it but I dont have any. I just know it works good and ive put 500 hours on it in the last 7 months.

if anyone else has any info i would apreciate it.
Would there be any numbers on the block that are english so i can figure out what HP it is?

In 1991, the firm entered a joint venture with Sumitomo of Japan to produce excavators. The venture ended in 1998
