I've found that a regular combination wrench like Proto etc works better at least on one of my D2's with a toolbar.  Found this out one time when I threw a track crossing a small creek.
The original ones have too big of a head to get in there when you can only turn the adjuster nut a degree or so.
But I'm sure you just want to have the original tools for a D2.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Yes I have wanted the tool that Cat provided but my threads are pretty badly rusted and might need the extra meat that the original tool will give.
I will just keep soaking them and maybe try a more modern wrench if the other does not show up.

Thanks

3J, be aware that the D2 track adjusting nut is actually a split nut, so once the 1/2" clamp bolts are loosened, the non-slotted parts can open up, making the remaining non-slotted portion of the nut pretty easy to turn. You might need to heat it some, and also use a square or triangular file to clean up the threads some
