Lets See your Tractor Mounted Tool Box

[drivadesl]

OK, I don't have one other than the glove box that came mounted on the right side and includes the cup holder. Right now in it I keep pins, bushings, clips, gloves, a knife, tape measure and thats all it will fit. Actually looking to mount a real tool box somewhere once I figure out what to get. So what do you have??

Here's a pic I posted a couple years ago:

Since have painted it. Wouldn't want anything smaller.

Here's mine: a tool belt mounted on my FEL tower. I also have an old floppy leather brief case fitted over the top of the grill between the radiator and FEL.

At the time I took this picture, the belt wasn't very full. I now have it pretty much filled and sometimes even clip the carriage house door opener to it if leaving the house unattended when working below.

I've been looking for a steel toolbox to mount on mine, but all I've found so far are the El' Cheapo ones from Farm & Fleet, TSC, etc.

Everywhere I look, I see plastic, plastic, plastic. I like the no-rust quality of it, but wonder what a couple hundred hours of vibration will do to the mounting surface...I want to mount it behind the seat and fender brace and it'd be just my luck that it'd fall off and end up underneath the cutter while mowing...

I have a JD 5203 and it came with a tool box mounted on the fender. It came with the flat fenders so this is not a problem. The tool box is plastic, so that does not seem to be a problem. I have about a hundred hours on the tractor and the box seems to be holding up fine. I have all kinds of pliars, screw drivers, and adjustable wrenches in it.

If you have the flat fenders, you might go by a JD dealer and see the tool box and how it is mounted.

Here's a couple of pics of mine.

I fabricated one from a small $6 ammo box, I didn't need a huge one. It bolts to the ROP mounting and doesn't extend further than the rear tire.

Thanks. Those are some creative ideas in mounting tool boxes. Not sure if the ammo box is the right size/shape, for me, I would think things would get lost with it being narrow and deep. I'll have to check them out. I have a NewHolland TN-70 and was thinking of mounting a standard 20" wide box between the ROPs. Anyone do something like this or have a TN with a mounted tool box?

Drivadesl:

I don't know your tractor, but I had a NH 1320 on which I made a wood platform, behind the seat, that rested on the inside fender edges and was held in place by a homemade bracket that fit into the socket for the triangle warning sign. I put a hole in the bracket so I could clip on a harness snap to hold it in place. I fastened a quality plastic tool box on the platform. It was still in place after 15 years when I sold the tractor.

On my 790, JD toolbox, I think intended for the fendor of a 990.
