nice job there I havent seen those sockets underneath the "C" frame before Im guessing they are for rippers ?

Yes they are rippers that swing on the c frame for ripping when backing up. Dad had them on the D4 and still have a set in the shed. I should hang some on it if I take it to show one day.
Maybe my vision is blurry this morning but in the very first photo, the paint shine and the background lighting make the Tractor look like a Plastic Model??????
Anyways, its coming along nicely from the photo's you posted a few months ago!
One question though, why didn't you install the solid idlers on that your donor tractor had on it?
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
