During my trip to bauma earler this year I ran across this R353 at the Liebherr dealership in Hohenlinden. Its a 1962 model and I was surprised to see it in such good condition after 45 years.
Kind regards,
John

Re: Liebherr R353
Great photos John, Thanks so much for sharing !! 
Kind of scary to think that machine is only one year younger than me !!
Must of been a nightmare to operate in terms of vision ...not a lot of glass in that cab and I notice that large cross member in the front of the cab, must of made for a massive blindspot

Crinkled sheet metal with no paint damage sort of gives it away.....

Ive got plenty of old iron. I notice it has something you rarely see now--- a boom with an adjustable length.
older machines often has geometry changes and the like available

Some kind of misunderstanding?
Most modern machines in 10-25 ton size can have split booms (don´t know the English word) that adjust hydraulically.

agreed---they are around particularly on the minis---but no where as common as they used to be.
