Interesting how the drawbar is just hanging there without any support from the back of the case. Not having been around many D2's, is it just the lack of the plates for the drawbar that is making it look odd to me. Or are the finals a none standard piece because of the Trackson modification.
The final drives would be standard, the only modifications to the basic tractor would be the long track frames, hard bar and associated parts, the drawbar brackets would have to be removed to attach the counterweight, but I do not see any provision to remount the drawbar plate to be able to pin the drawbar in the T2 parts catalog. The whole T2 assembly just bolted on to a long track frame D2.
Upon closer looking at the parts catalog, the counterweight may have mounted over the drawbar brackets and not have affected it at all.
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."
