Maybe this had something to do with the track coming off

Na, allot a life left there yet. lol

Gave the D2 a little bath and started to remove some parts. Even found some yellow paint under all the dirt a d oil!

I think there's something going on with the left side track frame and I'm pretty sure it's not good

That tired old machine has seen it better days! Good Luck with the restoration! Only going to take lots of love and money.
Cat salesman here in days gone by, "Pick up the radiator cap and run a new one under it"

good news is it all can fixed
you do some good work on your machines

I don't think I can in good faith comment on the radiator cap repair because my wife seems to think I should leave the cap on and drive it away.
I've read a lot on this forum about restoring old cats and I feel like there's nothing that can't be fixed.
I definitely don't have cat certified rebuild pockets but I do have lots of love so we'll see
I also have the luxury of time on this one since I have the D4 running and working
Looks like some of this stuff hasn't been touched in a long time, it should be interesting

I find I can achieve a awful lot with a lot of time and a little money
My work is never done right by collectors standards but it seems to work ok

I have a set of rails like those!
The bushings are "slightly" better than yours!
Take your time, it'll get done!
