Thank you @clayton.

I am trying to get some repro stickers done for this unit. Working with a graphic artists and he's pulling as many images from the interwebs as possible and tracing them to the best of his ability. He then rendered them on the display machine to allow for size adjustment before we pull the trigger and send off the file to the sticker printer.

We will increase the font size for the lettering on the bonnet.

We're not 100% convinced on the font style for the "Manufactured by...." so any help or direction on where to find the most accurate font style is greatly appreciated.

Cheers 

 

So we finally managed to trace the decals using some reproduced D2 sales catalogues we found off Ebay. We ran the scanning as close as we could to the original sizing and then had the stickers printed locally. Am really happy with how it turned out.

Cheers

 

Nice work!!!

Looks very nice did you paint over the badges on the lower sides of the radiator? Should be a badge on each side that says D2.

@clayton the badges are missing. We need to figure out a way to get or make new ones!

Very impressive restoration, well done, I thought I was looking at a toy Cat initially! Contact General Gear up at Boise Idaho, I'm pretty certain they should have the new radiator plates for your tractor, they have a very good website you can Google, I bought new radiator plates from them for my D4 2T.

Nice restoration! You can indentify a late d2 1956 up to the radiator cap and the dieseltank cap. Both new style
