New toolbox

[gumshu]

I picked mine up from Mills Fleet Farm . It's a regular tractor toolbox .All seems are sealed and is suposed to be weather proof.

Turbo660, did you use the Universal mounting brackets that came with it?

nope, just drilled holes to line up with the existing holes in the tractor.

I did make some 1/2" thick spacers to put under it. Given the size of the tool box there are a couple of bolt heads that prevent it from sitting flat on the bottom. Took an old tire and used a 1 1/2" hole saw and drilled through the sidewall.

And for anyone that finds it difficult to access tool boxes behind the seat, just remember the seat flips forward.

Thanks Turbo660. I was also thinking of pulling the hazard refelctive sign off for easier access.

if you have the "slip on" bracket for the SMV sign you can do either - or, or both.
I have found when I am in the tool box a lot, I slip my SMV sign off, it seems to be more convienent

My toolbox hits right against the SMV mount so I think I'm going to use double sided tape and mount to the back of my seat. It should fit just fine and clear the toolbox and still be very visible.

Thanks. I'll have to check on that. I never bothered to look.

finally got the pics of my tool box uploaded, I drilled and attched the SMV bracket to the face of the tool box, it stiffened up the "tinny" toolbox and it also gives me a quick and easy meathod for removing the SMV sign if I want to

My CT235 is getting deliver tomorrow... will this mean I need an upgraded tool box too? :confused3: What do you guys put on it? I have a lot of tools in my garage and it won't fit on any of the tool boxes shown
