Mine looks just like the pictures posted. My bracket is also welded to the tractor.
Two things come to mind if the sign was behind the tool box like the drawing shows.
1. The sign would be in front of the tool box when in back of the tractor, making it a pain to get tools. Hooking up is where I need my tools 90% of the time.
2. If the sign was in front of the tool box this would block the view of the implement that you are pulling.
I rarely run my tractor on the road, but when I do i turn on the headlights and flashers. If someone still cannot see that tractor that stands over 7' tall, I think that 2 inches the tool box is covering up of the SMV sign is the least of the problem. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
