Be very very careful plowboy. There is a rumor circulating that when you get a Cat, it comes with the disease called yellow fever, and the only cure is more Cat's.
Congrats on your first! Open your wallet, and dive in asap.
This board is a wealth of information, so don't be bashful.
Well seems like already have that problem I don't have one of an ything I would really like to know what year this is
Your R-2 is a 1939 ,lets have some pics and we can tell you more about what the sp at the end of your sn. Is for . Good luck with the restoration .
Going to try and pic up this weekend I will try and post the pics of it from the auction site I bought it from wish I had known of this site sooner there was other cat's on the auction they all went to cheap in my opinion my r2 is in running condition and has been stored in side and I only gave $260 for it

$260 ?? Holy smokes!!!
If it runs and you paid 260 you did very well, its worth 600 as scrap
Well when I called the gentleman who sold it I asked what it would take to load it he said a can of gas and drive it on I really didn't think I would get it bought that cheap I was really just trying to run the bid up so it wouldn't go for iron price
That is a fine wide gauge machine you have there. Far more desirable than a 22. The power take off is worth more than you paid for the tractor.
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."
