Very nice. I have been wanting to do that since Larry did it way back. Just need to source the ammo box. I would love to find a plastic one.

Me too. I'm not sure which one Larry used but the one he got for Rob was the kind you could access the top or bottom. I like that! You can dump them out the bottom on his instead of dragging them out of the top.:thumbsup:

How about this one at Northern Tool?:thumbsup:

Iowa, that one would certainly work but I think Chris is refering to one that Rob (3RRL) had on his and it was accesssible from top or bottom. It was military spec of some sort and I'm sure very durable.

Hi all,

The ammo boxes I used are the same type I gave to Rob (3RRL) which he later installed on his two tractors. The ammo boxes originally held 30 rounds of 25MM linked M793 ammunition. They open from the top or bottom, the lids are hinged and super strong solid mil spec polymer. You could run over it with your tractor and be none the worse for wear.

Attached are a few pics for reference....

Where did you get them Larry? Those are the ones I have been looking for.

Hi Chris,

I purchased a bunch of them from a local surplus joint (Surplus City) in Albuquerque (I cleaned them out). I often see them on e-bay Shipping is a little steep I imagine because of size and weight. IMHO there worth it.

The ammo boxes look good Larry, and you may start a new trend with gold colored tractors.

Early on someone wanted a pic from farther away so here it is.

Larry, thanks for posting. I'm going to see about getting one of those and tweeking my mount.

Ok! I checked EBAY for this item. I found them at Teds trucks N stuff. Wow! Larry wasn't kiddin' about the shipping. Anyway, here's the skinny on them. 25MM linked M793 ammo boxes. 13.5"L x 14"H x 6"W and weigh 13LBS! He has them listed at $20ea and $16.77 shipping if in the US! Sure wish I could find one locally.
