Up into the mid 70's all of the basements around me were dug with track loaders.

There are a lot of 953’s in use around here. I have heard several people say that a 953 is cheaper to run than a large skid loader on tracks.

My great uncle back in the late 50s used our TD-14A to dig out the basement for his house.  Him and grandpa traded crawlers for a few weeks during the summer. They took our 14 and we took their TD 18A.  His didn’t have a blade but ours did.  

The TD18 I have dug my parents basement in 65

I was thinking maybe a warmer swazey  or Hopto I’ve seen a couple  before  but looking at it it does look kinda like a old keohring possibly 

As a point of interest if you like old buildings is Warner and Swasey factory was remodeled  and still in use today in Cleveland. Can still barely make out the name from when the letters were on the building. But the original Dunham plant in Berea Ohio was razed a few years ago.

I’m very familiar with their machine tools but I didn’t know they made excavators.
