And finally, no more chains on the floorboards.
I suppose I'll have to take it off and paint it to match one of these days. I do have a spray can of paint the dealer gave me when I got the tractor. . . we'll see.

Good Idea. Would it be worth drilling a couple of holes in the bottom of the box to allow air circulation to keep condensation down and prevent rust?

The ammo boxes have a gasket seal and I park the tractor inside a heated/cooled shop. As you know, we don't usually have a humidity problem here in CA. While I thought about drilling a few drain holes, I decided not to at the moment. I don't know if I'd drill 'em big enough to promote air circulation. I have enough of a dust problem as it is.

Good lookin' arrangement. I don't have a loader so bolted a 20mm ammo can to the front bumper. Only interfers with the steering on really tight turns, then the paddles on the ags bounce the box around a bit. There are about 50' of 3/8" grade 70 chain, a 4 lb hammer and some big adjustable wrenches in there. Today, headin' uphill with a pond scoop full of wet dirt, I needed every ounce of it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Dave,
Can't beat those old ammo boxes for tools etc. Five bucks at local farm store. Now all we need is that trusty M2 mounted on the ROPS for those folks that get a little too close when traveling on the road.
I didn't put any vent holes in mine either.....pampered inside tractor.
