The B2650 count down has begun!

Don't forget to order the $2.80 each hood stickers from the B2650 so you can put one in your truck window and on any implements that you paint orange!

Gonna order them next time I’m there. Need one for the snow plow. I’ll also put one on my rear concrete weight

Hey Dan. Thinking about tool boxes after looking at your pics of your new tractor reminded me about another mod I did. You will find that the tool box behind the seat is a good location, but can only put a pair of gloves and a screwdriver in it because it is so small. I took cross member that the toolbox is mounted to, and cut the smv sign bracket off. I then welded a piece in to move it farther left and back to be able to mount a bigger toolbox. I found one at Napa that was the right size and could put everything in that I need for about $15.00. Now when hooking up implements, I can reach in the tool box and get pins or tools or what ever I need. It also has to compartments on top to that I put pin clips in for easy access. It is one of the best things I did. The other one, as I posted before was the one I fabbed up for holding chains and shackles and heavier stuff. It is made out of 1/8" steel and very solid for holding heavier Items. There definitely is no place on the tractor to store chains and things. The location is handy to get to grab chains for moving things with the loader. I actually have another one cut out that I need to weld up that I am going to put on the other side of the tractor for more storage. Can never have too much storage. Just giving you some ideas of things that have worked out really well for me in alot of different situations. The other things I added that I highly recommend is the extendable 3 pt arms if you dont have a quick hitch which I didnt want for what I do. Alot of days I switch implements multiple times, and it makes it 10 times easier.

Rkidd,
I actually did opt for the extendable 3 pt arms and the ratcheting lift link. The guy setting up the tractor didn’t realize that because they were shipped separately and he installed the original ones. The correct ones are on there now. I will do something similar to you with the tool box! You posted pictures of your chain box on your other thread and I really like that idea. How is it attached to the loader frame?

Make sure that you get your (paid for with the tractor) 3 point parts that they replaced with the upgraded ones.

Dan33Klein · Feb 7, 2018

I already made sure of that. There in a box ready to
Go. Going to see if they will fit on my buddies John deere

There are 2 existing holes in the loader frame from the factory, which were perfect for mounting the toolbox. I made a jig out of 3/4" plywood to line up grade 8- 3/8" bolts and welded them to my tool box. Then you can slide the bolts welded to the toolbox right thru the holes, install washers and nuts. The second pic will show them on a pair of toolboxes, left and right, I made for a customer who wanted a toolbox for both sides of his cabbed B2650.

Them look really nice. I’m sure you would have some buyers if you made more. I know
I would be interested

Hey B2650 owners,

I,ve got a couple questions in checking out my new tractor.

1. What's the "T"handle for seen at the back of the seat? I've looked in the OE manual and see no reference to it, and don't want to start
turning it just to see what it does.

2. Are there some missing bolts in my loader frame?

3. Do any of you have the MMM? I can't figure out the hardware seen that is suppose to hold the MMM (arms) in the up position. There is only one side (left) that shows a connection using the ""rue ring cotter pin" (I removed it) pg 28 in the OE MMM manual.
