What is in all those bottles? Peach preserves?

I mounted a 30 cal. Ammo can on my 2815.View attachment 544324

I have a couple of ammo cans that size and I'm thinking of putting them between the hood and the FEL tower, very near the dash area. Where you put yours is where my fuel tank is and there is no room aft of that because of how my hoe connects with its subframe and the lack of space. Mine will be going one on each side of the ROPS uprights - attached with u-bolts.

A little bit of dinking around but you could make a bracket and have it down low.

That’s about perfect for access. It’s a pain in the *** to try to get on the machine from that side so why not put it there.

I mounted mine on the offside step as well. Doesnt require any modification to the tractor and I never get on from the side anyways. In a pinch, I still can if I need too.

I am impressed. In western movies I recall seeing people mount Horses by jumping on from the rear. I have never seen anyone get on a tractor that way. Do you put the ROPS down or leave it up?

If you did no modifications, how did you attach the ammo box? Thanks in advance.

^^^^ I'm curious as well. Would like to see how you mounted it, or any brackets you may have made.

I'm also going to try and use the step mounting holes to make a tool box mount, I was just wondering, haven't went out to look yet but if I bought a new step from mahindra and was able to cut/modify it to hold a tool box it may be easier than fabricating a completely new bracket, any mount pictures fron yours would also be great thanks

I got a price for a step today, I just need to verify the left step will work on the right side, it was $68, not to bad I guess and worst case I move the toolbox someday then i will have an additional step, I plan on getting a rugged tool box so i can still step up on to it if need be
