Idea for tools box and chainsaw holder

[LRover]

I have the same problem as the OP as the design of my Massey is very similar to his. No room on the back when the backhoe is on and the loader means an up-front tool box doesn't work well. I have an old John Deere tool box that I have had for over 20 years. It mounts on a bracket that bolts to the tractor and, with multiple brackets, can be moved from tractor-to-tractor or other location easily. I already had a bracket on my old JD 1010 and I looked around and dug up another bracket. I mounted the bracket on the right side above the step as I usually get on and off of the left side. Though maybe not the most ideal location it doesn't stick out any further than the fender and when the tool box is not on, it doesn't interfere with the step at all. I like having the tool box follow me to which ever tractor I am operating.

Thank you. Yes, it is a logging winch. Here is a short video showing it work.

Well that's sure a funny way to plow snow...but it worked. What caused it to unhook from the side pulley?

That's an Interesting devise.

See page 5 of my tractor thread for simple chainsaw holder I made and welded to the loader tower.
Won't work for everyone, but working great for me, and holds the saw very securely.

The side pulley as you call it is a self releasing snatch block - Used for getting logs around corners easily. The tree was behind a big rock. I set it up to pull sideways to get it out from behind the rock. This is what it looks like and another short video.

I like the way you did that Deuse. Very nice. Very simple. Here is the link to it.

Finally I find some time to install my tools box! I have take few idea from all (using a munition box and putting low on the side of the tractor). I’m happy about the result. Thank!

I just mounted an ammo can to my Land Pride rear plow. I wanted to keep a chain on hand, and it worked out good. Starting to wonder where else I could mount one on the tractor. The JD's have a small one on the left fender, but not big enough for a chain.
