Hello and welcome to the club.
This appears to be a 1955 model D2. It will have a dry over center clutch. It appears to be a very well optioned tractor. PTO, Electric start Starting engine, a tool bar dozer. It appears to be a Cat Tool bar, they idea was that you can take the blade off the front and then swing the push arms to face the rear and attach rear mounted equipment to it like a ripper for example.
Here is the link to a page with some D2 information that you can find here on our website. https://www.acmoc.org/about/machines/d2
The club also has an extensive library of technical information including parts manuals, service manuals, and operation manuals. If you sign up as a member of the club you get access to all of that information with your membership.
Hope that you are able to make the purchase, D2's are a fun little tractor that are pretty easy to haul around to local tractor shows.
Have Fun!!

Welcome Hiranger: That is one collectible CAT with all of the goodies on it. Please feel free to share your location if you like, you would be amazed at how many members may be near you and willing to assist you in person with your new catch. You are one lucky person to find such an equipped unit. Keep on posting and share photos! Thanks! JM.
If you look on the Chapters page of the main website you will see a google map showing where members and Chapter leaders are located.
great find, see if they have the tool bar for the back of it
I’ll ask about the tool bar, I’m out here on the west coast. I need to look up some local collectors-
Thanks -Hiranger

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
not many were fitted with a twin spool hydraulic unit most were only single spool. this means you can have not just power raise or lower but also power angle or power tilt very handy. or even a hydraulic drag ripper or other drawn implement on the rear.
dont let it get away.
Looks like she just drove off the showroom floor.
