Tool box or the lack of one..

Boomerman44 · Aug 27, 2018

To tool or not to tool ... That is the question.. Wow I had a mid 80's Yanmar that I traded in on a used LS R3039 recently and I could not believe that it really doesn't have a tool box ... I always carried a hammer a good pair of pliers a can of WD-40 and a few spare snap pins for the implements in little Red! a pair of fencing pliers , gloves ect. Now I have to try to figure out what I can do about this little problem! Any Ideas ?

Here is how I added a tool box to my R3039H.

we've got another thread going on our XG3035 models. the OP over there did a really nice job adding his, and I copied that today on mine. Painted it with the Rustoleum Safety blue paint. here's mine...

Great job ! I am really liking layin my arm on the fender / cup holder while operating my FEL . But I like your style!

Seen many ammo boxes attach behind the seat to ROPS.

Gotta have a tool box! Even just a few basic items can mean the difference between continuing operations and a long walk back to the house!

my FEL joystick isn't mounted to the fender like some are though, so that's not an option for me anyway.

Gonna have to look into something. The 125 comes with something they call a toolbox, but we may disagree on that.

Ok So I have looked around and saw how all of you people have solved the lack of a tool box problem and I decided to make me a tray to mount to my right side step mounting bolts. I am going to attach mine with 3- M8 flat head socket head screws. I got the logo off of the internet and used my vinyl cutter to make the decal to show thru the bracket. I used self adhesive rubber strips to pad the tray to mount the 50 cal. ammo box in. see the pics.
