Hello dearest members,
I am sat here in my underpants shuffling a wedge of pics of British built IH powershift crawlers ,i have posted two pics tonight from my hefty wedge,but in order for you to see more i demand to see some pics of the above mentioned topic,i will ONLY post one or two pics at any time after a response,so get looking .The machine is a 125b series 2 with JCB 3 back scratcher.

yours truly

Hello Sean.
A couple of interesting photos there.Done a fair bit of work on the powershift Drotts in the early 1980's.The JCB back hoe must have put a fair bit of strain on the final drives with all the extra weight.
A couple of photos,BTD6 and wainroy backhoe and a 125 publicity photo.Will that do ?

Rule 1: The judges decision will be final.

The lines of a powershift drott were quite square and box looking,series b launched in 1970 then upgraded to b series 2 in 1973,the 165 was launched in 1976 as a brand new model.I will add more tonight.See b 100 loaders pic of a brand new 125 b series 2 above.

Is this when the loader pivots were moved forward to give a more 'walk-in' access to the seat?

Hello all
Today i have decided to add the line up of powershift machines as introduced in 1970,bear in mind at this time the old gear drive models were still an option.
If members have any questions about numbers of machines produced at Doncaster
i will look in my records to try to find out any info .So thats it for today children untill your next lesson and thanks for the input.
