Make it a weekend woodworking project. Mine holds the saw and everything for it.
I use a couple of "Fat 50" 50 cal ammo cans (slightly larger than the regular 50 cal cans, but they go inside my larger box. One holds various chainsaw parts & tools (spare chains, scrench, chainsaw multitool, bar rail dresser, stump vise, sharpenging files & guides, and etc). The other holds first aid supplies. When I need one or the other, I just grab the appropriate box. larger tools and supplies sit in the bigger box, but outside the ammo cans.Depends on which one you buy. This one is about half the size the OP mentioned:

Could I ask about your tire chains? I'm trying to decide if it would be worth spending $700 on chains for my Power Trac 1445 to increase hillside traction going up and down. Other Power Trac owners have expressed mixed opinions if they are worth or not. Just curious on what your experience has been using chains on your tractor if you could help me out?This is one of my saw boxes on an L3010. Finished with 50/50 mix of boiled linseed oil and turpentine - all it would soak up. Been in service since 2012 and like new to this day.

The M5640 box is on post #18 and I have added gas and oil storage to that.

Mr. Gordon, thoughtful placement of your saw box.
How do you attach the box to the plywood platform? Do you keep it permanently mounted on your tractor?
