I have emailed John Drott jr and told him about this thread on CMN.

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.
