No problem, thats just a rare find and one to highly appreciate, we all wish we could find something of that vintage and just have to do some service work to it, cleaning and looking it over, before being able to use, show or just enjoy, I'm in awe of finds like this, kind of the salt of life kind of stuff when it comes to old tractors and things !
You'll have the envy of a few guys over at ACMOC I am sure, though you may not be crawler savvy, most likely you won't have to be with one in such good condition anyway. Its just great to see ones like this turn up.
Bill Glenn out of PA I think still posts on one of those web sites, he did a nice overhaul on one of these, 10+ years ago and seems to have enjoyed the heck out of his D2 in all the years since by way of the photos I remember him posting, small easy to transport crawlers like these can be very useful and a lot of fun.
All that one needs (well it really needs nothing actually !) is a tool bar dozer, the push arms when not in use for a dozer blade, pivot around to the back and you can use tool bar implements on it, find an old Caterpillar brochure on ebay you'll see what I'm talking about.
I wonder and am not sure if there were track frame options say like D4's but if that were to have a 5 roller trackframe, it would balance out for use with the above mentioned dozer. I know D4's you could get an extra roller to make the track frames a bit longer, for say an HT4 early track loader or for similar reasons.
The one nice thing about crawlers set up for ag work is the undercarriages last a lot longer as they are mostly using forward direction, not making as much turns which is not the case when using as a dozer or track loader etc.
Best of luck with this one, that will compliment a Ford any day, even more so if you get one stuck, I've pulled my 850 out more than once with my D7, crawlers are handy even if they don't see a lot of use, that one time you need it makes it worth while !

Today's Featured Article - It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally
