Here's a couple of crawlers I saw at the local South Hams Vintage Event back in August, the D6 is the one thats been featured in the summer edition of the ACMOC book earlier this year (p.14)
I can't remember which model IH this is, BTD5 perhaps? anyone help?

Found this picture of my BTD6 Drott with the front grill removed its the same as the farm BTD6 with a lot of extra bits on it for a loader.Loader frame,track frame hydraulic tank etc.This has made the 6 double its basic farm tractor weight to 6 ton.The front grill is a few cwt by it self.
