More tailseat tractors?

17A, I grew up on the “Deathtrap” D47U7901 around 11 years old? Tailseat tractor, in the cling peach orchards we had. That thing had one very worn out UC. Scary part was we never turned gas off for the pony, never changed the pony oil, it was stuck wide open throttle too. It always started!!! Memories...
One of these D2s is about 100 from the end of production. Quite an honor to be asked to place these two in my cache of CATs.

Juiceman ours was 7U 24000 something. Was in good shape except for the brakes, unloading of a trailer was a trailer was fun!! Never been around D2s but they look late, CATS finest time for turning out good useable fixable tractors 17afarmer

17A: yours too? I forgot to mention the brakes barely worked. We had an old homemade tilt trailer with bomber tires; I don’t know what was more dangerous, loading or unloading! Tractor so worn out, it derailed if you turned too sharply, even on flat ground. The motor was strong though. That old thing barked and you could see flames at night when lugged down.
Yup, I missed that worn out pile.
The D2s are late. One is about 120 from end, other is tail of 17,xxx serials.
A tight D2 rides good, unlike the one at Santa Margarita that I used to own.

What are you waiting for ? Good looking little D2s I like tail seats. Spent a fair amount of time on a 7U tail seat working Almonds I meant Amons beats a wheel tractor getting beat to death!!! good useable tractors. 17afarmer

***Nuts!!!***
I do have a crazy idea of purchasing a late D4D orchard unit, and adding a custom  pressurized/AC cab to it. JM
