Promising. The red color seems consistent with Cleveland (another trencher manufacturer, Barber-Greene, used green, unsurprisingly). But it seems much more complex and larger than any Cleveland I can find. I'm not completely convinced, but I haven't found anything better.

I suppose TAB is the excavation company that owns it...

you were right , it's not a Cleveland !!!

but think I found it, a Parsons, notice that driving belt on the side, the overall shape and even those metal bars towards the front !!!

Cleveleand and other producers have usually bucket wheel but Parsons models have this chain belt design like main !!

also noticed Parsons had that position on the side for the operator just like in main pic so i am 99% sure this is one of their machines

That looks very promising indeed. The Parsons pictured here looks closer to the right size, but the picture quality is terrible. Here's a Parsons with the right grille, even:

As for the TAB logo, TAB Contractors have been in the construction business in Las Vegas since 1959.
