Did a couple more things to my BX2660

Leejohn · Oct 12, 2010

Did a couple more things to my BX2660 to fit my needs a little better. It came with a lawn mower trailer hitch, so I made a draw bar like the big boys have.

Also I didn't like unhatching the seat every time I had to lift it up. The hatch is there because the seat belt hooks to the seat,so I changed it. I lift my seat everytime I get off the tractor and my other 2 don't have a latch.
Sure would like to find a place to put a small tool box and chain holder. I think I might have a place for the chains, working on the ideal right now.

Please post when you find a good solution for the chains or tool box. I can't come up with a good answer to either for my 2660
Thanks
Bruce

you have me thinking. Time to find one of those skinny ammo boxes I tossed out a few years back

I'm looking at that spot for the tool box, but I might shape the bottom like the floor and turn it long ways. I wanted it 12" long and I don't think that well work. Still looking at it, only want to hold some pins and hooks. How big is your box?
The ideal I had for the chains was to make a new front bumper with a pocket on each side on the inside of it. The pockets would be 3"X4 or 5" and have some 1/4" straps between them. Just making up my mind if it's going to look good.

I couldn't find out how to put (Update) in the thread title, so just have to put it in like this.
Got the new bumper made today. The first try on the machine was a little to high, so lower it down, I went 1". Looks better now... A little more grinding, cleaning and paint. The chain holders ended up being 2 1/2" X 4" X 10 1/2", could of went to 2 1/2" X 3" and still be big enough. It's the same width as the Kubota one, but it looks wider.
