I thought it looked like a series 60 Detroit which would be about right for the age.
To me that looks like a true link-belt(not a rebranded sumitomo) like a lot of the link-belts are. Which I don’t know if that’s good or bad. The Japanese make really good cranes. From the pictures it looks like the cab is on the American side. All the japenese crawlers have the cab on the wrong side.
The Lsi system should be a full lmi. You just have to tell the crane what configuration you’re running when you put it together and it should be a full functioning lmi.
I wouldn’t be afraid of that crane. I’m pretty sure it’s a true link-belt which means common parts for the engine, hyd hoses and those sorts of thing should be easier to get. Probably doesn’t have metric cable on it either.
Had to edit to say I think crane op is correct. It looks like it has the n-14 which would have been an option for that crane.
