Just another way to attach a tool box...

I did a quick websearch for ammo box and came up with this site. Good luck.

Murph ... do a search for "Chalkey Cup" ... it must be one of the longest running threads on TBN

Murph,
I have 2 of these StukCup and they are great. They have changed a bit since I got mine. I ordered 2 for the Brothers. They have added a softer plastic bottom to resist scratches to the tractor and make a new smaller size.

Jerry,

Thanks much. I think I could make one of them work. My only problem is fiberglass and magnets don't work together. I do have a flat spot on my fender but would be back some, but I could just take a flat plate with a bolt through the whole thing and make that work..

I will have to think more about it.

Based on input from you guys, I decided to relocate the ammo box outboard of the ROPs. I like it there much better. Better access, you won't bump your head and it looks better. I just mounted the turn signal inboard.

Another plus...everytime I mount the tractor for some fun I read the bright yellow military information on the side of the box and think of our guys and gals defending our freedom which allows me to have seat time.

God Bless Them

Mike, I was wondering where you got the black chain sleeves to protect your bucket. (As seen in you attachment above.)Any online sources by chance?

Thanks

I second Tim on the sleeves. And the chain arrangement is a great idea. I never got hooks mounted either, and I doubt the dealer will ever see the bx again. Thats a great work around.
Thanks for the pics.

The black chain sleeves are hydraulic hose covers similar to what you would find on your loader lines, only a smaller diameter. I picked it up by the foot from NAPA auto parts. Works great.

P.S.

After you cut the sleeves to length, heat the ends with a flame to keep the material from unraveling.
