    Farmer;
    The first link is a DC and the second picture is a D. The first picture 
has it mis-identified.

Is your "D" a row crop like this one?

Or is it a "standard" tread like this one?

Apparently the first guy didn't like his row crop D very much.
Remembering back our neighbor who farmed with two S row crops broke an
arm from steering kick-back.
I still have a "chicken roost" Case SC on my wish list.

I have had a lot of kick-backs in my years of tractor driving. More as
a kid when I just didn't have the strength to stop it.
My father had bought an attachment for his 9N Ford that mounted just
under the steering wheel that would stop a kick-back somehow. It was
described to me as having little fingers that jumped out and grabbed
the shaft if it tried to spin too fast. Another kind was made that had
the device built in the center of a complete steering wheel with a big
center hub. The TO-20 didn't seem to have a kick-back problem but the
Jubilee Ford did kick-back a little easy. You didn't want to get
careless driving on rough frozen ground. It was worse with a loader.
