Tool box on new 2538?

screamin400 · Jul 19, 2016

Looking to see if any of you folks have a good idea for a tool box for my new 2538? It would be nice to be able to have a couple of straps with the tractor at all times. Then I need to look into the cup holder

I attached a small tool box to the ROPS using a square U-bolt from tractor supply

That right there may be so simple that I never thought of it. I take it that you have no issues with it being in the way of anything?

It's a small box mounted on the right side so it's out of the way. I was considering to an ammo can painted to match tractor but went with the plastic box because it held all the items i needed. It doesn't interfere with using backhoe. By using the clamp I avoided drilling holes in the ROPS.

Appears it is mounted above the rops pivot point?

Picked up a small steel tool box at runnings today for I think it was 17 bucks. Bolted it to the two fender mounts and let it rest on the plastic of the fender. Have to see how it works out.
