Simple tool box for 2400

[BrittR]

Really like the features packed into my little 2400, but would have liked some tool storage. Quick and easy answer for me was 50cal ammo box which is air/water tight, and a couple fender washers (will prob make a 1" or so stiffening support bar for inside box later). Mounted it using the existing ROPS bolts/washers, plenty of thread left. Painted using Rustoleum red which is pretty close match and decently tough paint. Still figuring out exactly what I want to carry in it since I'm used to my old beater Kubota B7100hst and the 2400 is new. Tools are obvious, fist full of pins, and small cookie tin contains plug kit and small Co2 inflator.

Looks good. Unfortunately that will not work on a cab model. What I ended up going with is a standard old tool bag located just inside the Rt door (which seldom gets used.)

I'm actually going to move/change it to one across the back of the ROPS once I build an expanded metal insert for the ROPS. Tool bag is a good choice as well.

Looks good. I bought a little red one from TSC www as I recall. It's the flat version of yours. Mounted it on the back of the slow moving vehicle emblem bracket and just removed the emblem as it was just in the way and I don't need it for two reasons: This is not a road tractor and if it were the hazard warning lights would suffice.

Good idea! Been looking all over to find a good place to mount something. Never thought of there.

I used one of the holes that mounted the triangle and drilled out the other.

Nice box! I did roughly the same thing on mine but I haven't mounted it permanently yet.

Very cool. Paint looks great, not used to seeing those in red, haha. Any rattles, noises or vibes from the handle?

It vibrates some, but the fender washers spread the load and I'm not too worried about it damaging the box, and as far as noise, I keep a small hand towel on top of all the tools/pins etc there and I don't really notice it above the engine noise

Mine has a plastic handle, piano hinge, probably 14 ga material and quality latch, all for about $10 plus shipping, in red.
