Hi Brian ... thats a good job you have made on that machine ... looks so small, i have to say that i dont think they made it over to these shores ... the International built loading arms arent to dissimilar to the Drott version, looks so small .... you will have to forgive me but is the machine the same size as the TD6 ?

this machine was the smallest crawler international built. ive seen pics of the 85 crawler loader on the forum and if i had to guess id say its the closest in size . it is much smaller than the td6. it weighs around 4 tons with the loader. its built like a farm tractor , the loader is actually an attachment that bolts to the track frame and the final drive housing ....very light compared to a td series crawler. the international 500 series crawler replaced this machine in the late 60s. then the 100 series replaced the 500. brian
