D2 Toolbar Dozer info needed

Rich, it does look like a Caterpillar toolbar setup. I also suspect you may have had a #41 hydraulic pump, judging by the hydraulic line set. Sorry, I have no toolbar parts books.

its all later cat tool bar stuff except maybe the h-cylinder ( can't see it that well) including the skid shoes. it probably put on years after the tractor was new. the trunion/track frame mounts go the other way with that vertical angle at the rear. check trunion bracket bolt hole spacing to make sure its for a d2 and not d4. good luck.

Mike, I thought the later toolbar blades had the Swing-Around arms? These must be removed and swapped from side to side to reverse them. The D2 is a 1952 model and more than likely this blade was on it since new, but maybe not.

Steve, Yeah I see that they're backwards now. I just dropped the brackets where they landed, not really paying attention to which way the mounting holes were slanted and assumed that the rub rails went forward.

i didn't note it not swinging around but do know they had toolbar setups like yours where u'd have to drive out and back in. i think its all later and more hd than the swing around one. maybe they had problems with the swing arounds??? i think joman knows about your style and has one, but he don't post, only lurks..... yours is in the parts book, which i don't have with me out east.
good luck

From what I have seen and own, it seems there are three versions of toolbars for a D2.

A. Early model - non swinging trunion - short frame (pre sn#13236)
B. Late model - swinging trunion - short frame
C. Late model - swinging trunion - long frame (post sn#13236)

I have a 1952 with config B. I have config C. Laying in the trees, and have seen a few config A.s for sale.

B and C are identical with the exception of the bolt patterns on the mounts.

Usually the early models have the 41 pump while the 44s are seen on later models.

I have one similar to yours only I'm missing the rub or sway brackets and the diagonal is bolted through the sides of the push arms.
This came from a 1951 machine. Your picture is the first time I've seen showing the sway brackets. I always wondered what would
keep the arms from hitting the tracks while using my subsoiler.
