Scans from a brochure dated 12/48. K-595 is their 2.5-3 yd. dragline.
I've never seen any K-series, except for what's on the internet, and microfilm, and brochures/ads. Last model in the K-series was the K-608 3 yd. machine (intro in '56 and made until '63?).
Enjoy, and have a good weekend.

Re: Link-Belt Speeder K-595 dragline
I remember in 1970 I was on a pipeline job in Yorkshire, route went right across the North Yorkshire moors, we had a Link-Belt drag line up there, the only navvy I've ever come across with grousers on the tracks (They were grouse moors, of course) I seem to remember it had a Cat engine (I could be wrong). Turriff were the contractors!

It could have been an LS-78PL or an LS-98PL (PL for PipeLiner). They had special tractor-type crawlers for mushy ground conditions.
Pics are from an LS-78PL brochure dated 6/66.
