Top one is possibly a 455E. There were a few sold in Oz.....I heard good & bad stories about them.
I worked a 755 Drott in a tip site in 93...the hydro trans was impressive.Very pushy.

Here's a few JD brochure pictures,plus a scan of me on my 350CE dozer in 95.

What model were the JD's that had the z-pattern linkage a-la International? I saw the JD755 picture on this link, but I thought there were smaller models with the same arms?

I think the 655 were the smallest with the Z-Bar style.
From memory,the 555 was parralel type.
