Any ideas for a tool box?

Welcome to TBN!

If you could expand your personal profile to include what kind of tractor you have, interests, etc... it would assist people in guiding their answers.

As has been said, a search on toolbox will give you lots of ideas, photos, etc...

I added several tool boxes to my L5030. First, inside the cab on the right side there is a window with tapped fitting that I used to install a Rubermaid plastic container, with top, using bolts. Also, have hung two small plastic buckets from the rear side window hinges to put things in. Finally, I have a carryall on the 3 point hitch which holds a truck tool box and can carry larger stuff.

Each has its use and I wouldn't be without them.

I think the Dan's box looks cool in Kubota orange!:)

Putting it there keeps it inside of the wheels, its narrower than the front end on mine and with the steel frame, it shouldn't get beat up much. mine holds 2 3/8" x 12' chains + 1 pair of gloves in the box, 2 adjustables, a screwdriver and a 3lb hammer in the tray and a c-clamp and 1/4" flex-head ratchet w/ socket in the top hinged lid with room to spare. The wrenches are for the top link and the check chains, the hammer is a good persuader for 3pt hook up, the clamp keeps my pto pump from spinning and the ratchet removes the pto shield, so I can fit the pto pump. I do put it back on when I'm done.

I am looking for ideas ...I wanted it out of the way,

Don't put it too far out of the way. Mine is right in front of me. It doesn't obstruct the view and its really handy for the things I have to put on or take off just about every time I use the little beast.... sunnies, gloves, drink bottle, tin can (off the exhaust), sunblock, WD40, bandaids, etc. And a few tools too of course. Its like having one of those old sedans that had a nice big useful dashboard where you could sit everything in easy reach. :) I see you have a cab, so something like mine might not be suitable, but can you build a handy tray across the bottom of the windshield?

Like someone said “you don’t need much of a toolbox if you own a Kubota” so I made a small one.

Three inch PVC with end caps just fit in the FEL frame on my L3400.

I made a cutout for tools, put finger holes in the ends, and a hole for pin to keep it from falling out.

Hopefully I have figured out how to include pictures.

I used a Craftsman Pick Up Truck box. Made a custom mount that used the ROPS based bolts to hold it in place.

These pics are of mine. The actual bok was $15 at Lowes. The frame is old bed rail.
Shvl73,

Can you advise the Logo Name on the front of the Lowe's Tool box mounted on your tractor. Thanks.

I'll get it when I get home Friday, if I don't get to a Lowes this week.
