    Toolbox for JD 4500

    Well after some tinkering I came up with a toolbox rig for my 4500. It cantilevers on an aluminum street sign mounted to some cross bar support under the seat.

    Just thought I would pass along the name of a up and coming group for y'all to check out. The group is Nickel Creek. A fairly young bunch. But they have already made a name for themselves. I think the industry sort of classifies them as "new grass" music, not really like the old twangy stuff...
