[sean]

Hello dear members, here is some pics of my own drotts from many moons ago,we have a 100b series 2 and a b100 together on a farm restoration involving pushing over tips, laying farm tracks,and god forbid deforestation, thats me on all pics.then we have a 100b series 2 with me and my mate ronny in the process of buying it from international harvester factory at doncaster wheately hall road in 1995 this was probably the last drott to ever leave the doncaster factory,the poor girl had been parked in this spot at the rear of the factory unused for around 3 years and took us about an hour to get her going, then there she is at home with my jcb 110. thank you all.sean

Hi xs650,yes it was owend by them,it spent its life there from new after being made there,they used it for what ever they needed it for,i worked for two companys who did contract work for ih,first company i worked for took all the waste foundry sand away for ih,next company i worked for took all the scrap,thats how i came to buy it, the contractors got first choice on items they no longer wanted,the drott was offerd up and i bought it from them.the drott was painted in the then case colours when doncaster factory was took over by case in 1985,glad you liked them,sean
