BX Auxiliary Chain Box mod!

[dragoneggs]

Been thinking a long time about fabricating a metal box to mount on my BX25D to hold my 20ft chain. Up until now I have just laid it on the floor and it was constantly in the way of my feet. Well... I think I have a great solution... what do you think? Found a metal ammo box at Costco... painted it the proper color and mounted it to the FEL tower with Click Bond fasteners. No drilling, no welding on the tractor! I hope to upload a you tube video on the install shortly.

I just keep my chains in the 2500hd truck box. That's nice also.

Very nice that should do the trick for you.

And the best part is no one knows it used to be an ammo can.

Mark, what do you do: wax your BX every week. Mine does not have time to wax its self between jobs so is no longer shiny, plus I have to store outside.

My first day in the wood pile and that box would be on the ground smashed up.

Never waxed it once! A rare wash... my BX is just photogenic!

That was the icing on the cake... it came in a two pack the chains fit in the small can so I got more room for ammo!

Okay put together a video in detail of the entire mod, step by step and a little thought process as well. Warning... it ended up 25 minutes long. Maybe it will put you to sleep or maybe you will like it?
