I am looking for ideas for chain and tool storage. Right now the chains are on my floor board and no place to really store tools at all. Unlike with some other brands I see here places to put toolboxes are limited. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thats a tough one. T723s are the same way. Only place I have found that wont work for some is mounting one on the same bolts as the grill gaurd. Have done that on several 603s and 723s but if your running over trees and such gets damaged pretty quickly. The ones that are in more clear operations works quite well. Have used several different aftermarket and customer supplied tool boxs but nothing from TYM or otherwise thats a quick addon. Also, have to make sure it dont stick out too far or the loader torque tube will get it.

There have been some good threads on chain storage, many using PVC pipe. I couldn't find my favorite thread on the topic, it has lots of pictures... but I did find this interesting horizontal pipe idea: chainpipe

Doesn't look like your 603 has that horizontal tube... but other options exist.

Here's another, with ideas for storing other items, too: link

About the only thing I can come up with is making a frame to hold a toolbox and mount it on top of the rear fender. There are already a couple of holes there but could drill whatever I needed. I have had this tractor since I think it was 2009 and it is getting old not being able to carry a few tools and I get tired of the chains on the floor. I have a small ammo style box that I carry behind the seat but I don't really like it there. I am thinking the chains could go on the fender toolbox and make another mount inside the cab for a toolbox there on my left side. Was just hoping someone had come up with something I had not thought of. I have seen many threads here on toolboxes and chain storage but none really work on my tractor.
I have seen those chain boxes before and really like the idea but just can not seem to find a good place to put it.
I do thank you for your suggestions.
