Like the film of the IH175 Paul.Not going for the world record of pictures of Drotts on demolition ,but they keep coming up
One guy here has the luxury of a CAB very handy with brick walls falling all around you I would imagine.

'Acrobatics' a cracker ,10/10 for artistic merit
They must have been tough machines or did someone follow along with a welding set

Great photos there.Just shows how hard these machines worked.
Traxcavatorpaul,could I put one of those photos on my Drott website ?
I have emailed John Drott jr and told him about this thread on CMN.
Cheers

Yes they are John.This machine has new track chains and had not been used for 8 years.It took a few weeks just to free them off.They are getting better with work.Only 6 stiff links now.
Its a good machine with bags of power.

The machine with the Popemobile cab looks like a John Deere to me.
