D2 fuel tank

Fender-mounted tank was an option. Can't remember what someone told me as to what advantage they conferred in certain situations, but there's nothing wrong with that tank. Use it and enjoy it! : )
And update that guy that told you so he can give more accurate answers! Yours still may be a non-Cat tank so post a photo of the part # on the tank and the cap and that will be a good indicator as to whether it's a Cat side-tank or not

I think originally the fender mount tank was standard and the seat tank was optional.

I find the fender tank Cats easier to hook up to farm equipment than the seat tanks, you can see the drawbar a lot easier.

I find that interesting as what happens when you have to back up to an implement with a D-8, D-7 or the most common AG cat of all the D-6.

Out here where the largest AG market for Cat crawlers in the world basically the only folks that went and ordered a new D2 were guys with an orchard or a vineyard and to a smaller extent they were ordered new for artichokes and roses.

The big open field areas that needed bigger implements is where you triditionaly find the bigger D6 - D8 models and the D2 are found in the areas that were known for orchards.

If you need a seat tank to hook up to an implement you have no business on a crawler and I would hate to see you trying to hook up a D7 or D8 to a ripper, squadron disc or Atlas deep plow.

I'm with ccjersey on this one!
If you did a SEARCH, I believe you would find that back around 2010 there was a rather lengthy discussion on the option of Seat Tanks?
It was pretty much noted that most early tractors came with Fender Mount on both the D2 and the D4's. Seat Tanks were a later upgrade/option.
(its early in the morning so I maybe foggy)

I like to thank everyone for the information on the fender tank. I am trying to post a picture of my cat but having trouble. I will try again. I have seen lots of pictures of fender tanks and mine is the same, I don't think mine is after market. Thanks everyone.
