Wow that was fun to watch! Looks awesome with the bumper and the wide tracks! Today the D2 was a Snow Angel!! Thanks for bringing us along!!👍🏼

You're a riot. All this strategic tractor maneuvering early in the AM to keep everything dry..... then off into the first snowbank you see with the D2. 🙂

I was amazed how much the larger tracks made your D2 look like a snowcat appearance, and then you took it into the deeper snow--wow. You add the cab, and IT WILL look like a snowcat!!! Awesome looking machine, Toby!!!

Great to see the D2 "Swamp Angel" driving after the long, but excellent repair & restoration process! I'm glad it drove & ran to your expectations!

Happiness is when the pilot motor starts first pop. 👍

Congratulations. A great piece of equipment.

Thanks for the video on the Cat. D2 like it . have good day .

No poker face, you were having a blast! That tractor is right, you can hear how good the tractor and starting runs in the video.

That is one beautiful, mean looking Cat.

That machine looks incredible with those wide tracks, especially from the front. It's gotta feel great to play in the snow with it too!

I really want that Swamp Angel! Very sweet, and those 20" pads are looking very different out in the wild compared to in the shop. I'm very happy for you Squatch. Congratulations on a job WELL done.

Great to see another successful Ford ASSET graduate! Good job….Drew

Two very very cool tractors one in front of the other. So freaking cool Squatch!

Brilliant, I bet the guy that owned it before you never imagined it looking like it does now. Great to see it out running after so much time and effort. Well done 😎

Congratulations, it looks amazing.

So cool to see it outside with those wide tracks. It’s been a blast watching it get built. X231 has got me drawn in as well. Thanks for keeping the history of these old machines alive.

Squatch extremely happy to see the smile on your face bud. You truly looked like a kid in a candy store.

Great to see that cat outside with those wide pads in the soft snow . Looks like it’s running as smooth as can be . Loved the glamour shot of the tow hook and stump pan ! The Machine looks great and nice to see the weather turning around . Happy Easter Squatch and family have a good weekend.

Glad you resisted the temptation to climb that snow pile. The story goes when the new D2 was delivered to the Estate in Devon ( England ) where I grew up the driver decided to show his new mount would go anywhere and preceded to drive it over a manure pile - where it promptly sank to it's belly and had to be towed off by several tractors!

Those wide tracks look awesome on her....

she looks great with those tracks!

Outstanding !! Great to see the D2 out in the day light stretching its legs a little. I follow your channel for any and all it's content but the D2 series was my favorite so far. Great work !

Fantastic video! Man it was nice to see the Swamp Angle moving on the tracks. A guy can really appreciate the time,effort and hard work that went into this machine. Such a cool piece of our history saved from the smelter! Cheers

Thanks for sharing Squatch!!

That is so freaking cool! 😊

Cool! You can really see why the top carrier rollers are needed!

thanks for sharing keep up the good work.

Loved seeing the restoration of this thing. It looks awesome, usually I prefer new paint but the original finish on the Swamp Angel looks amazing.

I don’t know that I’ll ever get tired of seeing an old D2 start up!

Man, she sounds GOOD!

A nice break from X231,and fun to.

Can't wait to see that cab on it

Those pads look like the old wavy Caterpillar logo with the carrier rollers in. Totally worth the effort! Congratulations!

All of your hard work has proven out! What a job Toby! My wife and I have really enjoyed watching you on the rebuild and seeing all your hard work come to fruition is very exciting. We will continue to watch you with Christine and any other projects you come up with!

Awsome🤩 have bin looking forward to this moment. Greatings from Oslo Norway!

Thanks Toby! Man you looked happy to be on the Swamp Angel! It’s getting to be that time of year. I’m ready for tractor shows. Getting new rear rubber on the 756 Tuesday and the rims centered on the 460 utility. Ready to drive them. Thanks again and can’t wait to see what comes next

The whole project has turned out wonderful. I know that bumper was expensive to do right/twice but man it sure sets the whole machine off. Hopefully mud season is not too terribly long this year.

Very-very Nice !!!

Toby nice job thanks for letting us come along for the rebuild the smile on you face driving in the snow was the best

Brother, I absolutely love this machine. The stance, the wide footprint, beautiful! It looks like an absolute joy to operate. It didn't seem as jerky or bouncy for lack of better words as most old iron. Really enjoyed seeing it make some moves.

That felt like the culmination of a long, long project. Congrats on a like new old timer. We are all jealous but glad to have watched.

Bravo. Four-wheeling with D2. Priceless.

i saw all that snow piled up when you first took off driving and thought to myself if that was me id be climbing those puppies with those wide tracks. and you definently did not disappoint!

She looks awesome, Squatch. Ground pressure is nice and light. She's practically floating. She sounds amazing.

She definitely has no problem with putting her foot down!! She reminds me of my sweet little wife. She makes the ground shake when she walks by!!!! Lol!!!

A kid with a new toy!!! Looks great, looks like you had a lot of fun. All that hard work!

Wow!! The swamp angel looked awesome playing in the snow. And you looked like you were having a ball. Congratulations Squach, job well done!!!!!

20's give her that "gangster" look... 🤣

Very enjoyable watching the D2 running. Thank You

Eureka, the world’s heaviest (and slowest) snowmobile! She breaks trail slowly but packs it real goooood so Senior can go flying on his rocket sled. That alone was worth all the time and resources, right? She’s a runner but we’ll prove her true worth when plow day rolls around. Ya done good, again. 🥸👍👀✅❗️

Love the work you’ve been doing on the D2 it’s inspiring & motivating, I’ve got a 1936 RD7 , been working with Dennis at Florin tractor , help helped me find the last few parts available for the pony motor , I’m hoping to have the RD7 back up and running soon . Thanks again keep up the good work

She looks so good. Beautiful

Looks like more fun than making snow angels! That front view looks awesome.

I'd like to see you hit those snow banks at 60 mph and ski right across the top! You did install the highway gears, right? LOL. Fun video! It's great to see all my hard viewing work put to use. 🙂 Just kidding. That was very satisfying though. It's good to see the enjoyment YOU get from all YOUR hard work!

Gotta love the sound of Swamp Angel's engine grumbling when Squatch hits the diesel fuel. She's running like she just came off the production line. Now I know why I got so fascinated by this restoration.

Lookin good, sounds like it’s running great too

😱 OMG 😱 OMG 😱OMG 🤗🤗🤗 the "Swamp Angel" D2 to do the Caterpillar two step in twice as much deep snow on the double wide tracks. WooHoo ‼‼👍👍👍 Second time through.

What fun! There would have been a lot more tracks in the snow if I was the one driving, ha! Days like this are what make the efforts of the restoration all worth it, the play at then end is the reward, good job!

That old crawler with those wide tracks looked mean and awesome. Looked like she had some wide shoulders. Another awesome video. Denis from Santa Rosa CA. Love ❤️ that straight stack sound.

That looked fun! Thanks for sharing! 5J1113 says “There must be a tree out here I can pull down”

Seeing that sweet crawler in motion with those swamp cleats beautiful thanks for sharing the move til spring passes. Looking forward to more later and more X231

When you left the shop the tracks looked almost as wide as the radiator with the angle of the camera.

Well done, the fruits of all your hard and meticulous work! Good to see you enjoying it!

A very Blessed Easter to you and your family Toby.

To think what that was when you started, is absolutely incredible.

Just awesome 😎

That thing looks great. Can't wait to see it on plow day. Great accomplishment.

Congratulations on a job well done, beautiful machine.

Almost felt like I was driving it thr whole time. That's how well you got me invested in the outcome of your videos. That was pure pleasure to watch Toby. Thank You my friend.

Nice job!👍👍

Better than NEW because of YOU! All of the skills you have and used in Swamp Angle reconstruction!

First time I've seen something like this in the snow and it wasn't at all what I expected. I was thinking the weight and tracks would have made it unstoppable, (within reason) so I was surprised to see it spin out/dig trying to get on top of that snow pile - You have quick reflexes :))

Just a boy playing with his toys! Sweet!

It’s a Snow Angel now. Wonderful.

This video is part of why I enjoy, and look forward to your videos. You put your work on your projects to the test, and have fun doing it. Thanks, and keep it up.

Wonderful to see the journey from some backyard piece of junk to a fully functional and useful machine. Looking forward to saying the same for X-231 next. Good work Squatch and thanks for all you teach us. PS, in your closing remarks you were practically a silhouette against the back lighting. I'd like to suggest a reflector or a fill light to even out your exposure balance. You'll find it helpful in more situations than you think.

Know the pads are wide but the visual perception they give you is of a Dozer on Bog tracks 💪 great video 👍

It sounds Great the Engine and those Tracks/ undercarriage...The undercarriage is so much Quieter. Nice job..Great Job on the whole project and Video ..

@@squatch253 I heard that. There was already a big difference .. You did a Great job on the Whole Rebuild..Can't wait till it gets nice out there so you can run her even more..No doubt Not as much as You can. You Guys got alot of Snow this year. LOL .Thanks For the Reply. Have a Great Day.

Wow!! Lol 😂 like the guy that bought it bran new!! Got to play with it. Super nice job!!!

How much fun was that? I bet a whole bunch. Glad you got to enjoy the fruit of all your hard work on the Swamp Angel.

"go play in the snow" . *grabs toys*

Omg it’s like watching your kid take their first steps ❤

The container..? Awww.

What a great looking machine! Badass stance. Sick! Congrats 💪🏻

Brilliant achievement; so what about the new workshop/storage development? What is the news about that? Re the Moline, keep on with it 'it is the 'star' of videos, truly.

Yes, its the same over here in the UK. If there is no urgency then the project will most likely benefit from you waiting until the time is right. Keep safe

The proportions on the body/tracks/bumper/grill/etc are just perfect! A Beaut for sure eh!

First pull for the starting engine. :-) I don't think sophisticated people have as much as you did playing in the snow. 👍👍

2 episodes in one day...man it's a good day

Love the look of the wide pads great job

Looks like it is a winner! Man, that thing sure looks wide coming at ya!

Great drive and video. Thanks.

If I didn’t know better, I would say that is an all original well maintained machine. Looks awesome!

That's gotta be the most awesome crawler out there!

That was great to see, all your hard work rewarded. Well done Squatch.

Good Job, it’s been fun to watch. Now I can’t wait to see it with the cab on it.

Who needs a snowmobile if you have a D2

Sounds great, looks great and seems to me that she rides real good. What a fun trip 😊

Toby, awesome I loved watching you and the swamp angel playing. I can’t wait to get my D2 running.

Good drive :D We all like the same Childs, there was a pile of snow and we can't resist to drive the tracks trouthg it :D Did the same in January. The garage after that looks like a mes, bevor it dried and i storage my NSU.
