All great ideas. Mine has the cab with lots of plastic trim. Havn't taken delivery yet so can't dig in quite yet. Kinda like a blind peeping tom, They can only imagine what it looks like.

I was ALL excited when I saw your pics, etc. and went out to look at the tractor today when plowing the 1300' driveway and it dawned on me that you all have ROPS (open station) and I have a CAB....does me no good at all. :(

My thoughts too.

I just bought a small Craftsman tool box and fab'd a mount to attach it to the ROPS. It has small compartments in the lid that I used for extra pins etc., has a lift out tool tray, and room underneath it for some small standard tools. It is light duty plastic, but should be OK as an emergency tool kit out in the field. Time will tell, but heck, it was only $6 on sale so if it doesn't hold up I'll get something else. :)

Craftsman 13 Inch Tool Box with Tray - Black/Red

I have a cabbed tractor with no convenient place to install a tool box. Finally decided to place one behind the seat on the 3 inch wide base of the cab mount.
Since it was so narrow I looked for a longer size tool box and found one that is 20" long, 5" wide and 6.75" high. Bolted a piece of 2x6 and and 1/2" boards to raise the mounting surface so I could slide the tool box back toward the lower window of the cab so as to allow space between the seat back and still allow the lid to open up and stay open. I can access the tool box by tilting the seat forward or through the open back window. Now I have a place to carry tools and extra pins, bolts etc.
