Martyn and Fowler Man thanks for your replies I have a model 150 with a Hercules 6 Cyl gas and an Allison Torq-o-Matic Trans. It is about a 2 YD machine.Will try pictures when I figure it out.

Hi Wilson,
Sorry to dissagree with ruston bucyrus, but I have found refference to four models.
They are the 150 which you have, the 200, 250 and 400. I don't know the age of your machine, but they all seem to have been produced in the late 1950s.
Your machine looks in great condition.
Apparently the 150 was available with a GM diesel as well as the Hercules gas engine which you have.
Fred
