Yes it is a Drott with a 4 in 1 bucket, first time I've seen one with a cab on it!!!
Oh and it can be used as a "dozer" with the bucket opened up. I have used 4 in 1 buckets before as a "dozer" when they were on Front loaders and backhoes. I have also seen them used as "dozers" on crawler loaders like this. We had a new drive way put in one year when I was a kid at our house, the guy used a Drott with a 4 in 1 bucket and he used it as a dozer first.
I'm also not 100% sure if it by International either as they used to have their own type of crawler loader back then. This looks like around a 1965 model.

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!
Age is a state of time NOT a state of mind!!

Nice machine. The british built b100 was similar in size to the american built td6. Those drott buckets are great. I finally finished the one on my t340 and the things you can do with the machine impressed me. Nice pic. Thanks for sharing.

Also drott made the loader conversion for international till 1965...they would ship unfinished cralwers to drott and they would add the loader and do any other mods required. after that international made its own loader frame and arms but they still sold some machines with drott loaders. After 1968 drott only made the bucket for international. By the time dresser took over they used their own bucket as well.heres my t340 with international loader and drott bucket doing some dozer work....if it was one year older it would have had a drott skid shovel loader.

Brian, It figures the one time I try my hand at, " guess what this is ", a guy on the forum owns one. That is too funny. Thank you for the brief history lesson on this crawler loader. How often do you use her ? She looks very well maintained.

Thanks for the compliments. The loader didn't look this good when I bought it. It took abot 7 months and a couple grand to get it to this point. I put maybe 20 hours a year on it. Easy half throttle work around the property and the occansional truck/equipment show.I try to go easy as parts are hard to find. Next week I'm pulling it aprt to try and repair the steering as its gradually losing clutch pull on the left side. Brian

I'm buying a bunch of heavy toys to play with. Thanks for preserving a little piece of history.
