Set of double end wrenches
Screw drivers (2)
Channel lock pliers
Needles nosed pliers
Old matchbox with fuses, needle, and a bit of emory cloth
Spark plugs (4)

Lynchpins go on the gearshift

For the Long 445

Fully stocked maintenance vehicle

Several hundred dollars in the checking account

Vasoline (For when I need to buy parts)

Keys to the TO30 so I can get some work done :thumbsup:

Well done that is hilarious and quite true I imagine! :laughing:

Because of all the variety in my attachments, I keep a toolbox on the implement that has specific parts and tools needed to work on that machine. I use ammo cans for a weather tight container. Bolts, knives, teeth, pins, cotter pins, clips, oil, grease, and the proper wrenches for each task would be too much for a tractor box. I buy good spare wrenches (including sockets and handles) at garage sales and flea markets using a shopping list made up from each attachment. No more walking back home for that single part or tool that would not fit in the tractor box. What is important to me on the tractor are gloves, insect repellant, lynch pins, drawbar pins, flashlight, hammer and a 2" ball for trailer towing.

This is a great idea. Now off to the army surplus for the ammo boxes!
