Tool Box

I mounted a .223 ammo can on the SMV-sign bracket of my B7400. Can't find the picture of it on my hard drive -

The only problem I had was condensation!! The box is so air tight,I had to drill a 1" hole,and insert a small louvered vent,problem solved.

Here's my answer to the tool box thing, it's on a L2800

The mounting system (no drilling or welding)

finished product (cost Zero $$$)

Nice but you gotta spring for some Bota gray.

KCinBr, I like that one a lot. I've been looking at my L2800 wondering how to get a decent box on it. Where did you get the black bracket? Unless I can find something similar, it looks like welding and drilling for me (not that I mind either one).

Does it interfere with your view of the 3PH when backing up to an implement?

JustGary, The mounting bracket is home-made from some scrap I had laying around. It's really very simple. The "U" piece that actually clamps around the ROPS is realy 2 "L" shaped peices, the cross piece can be made from almost anything. The tool box is............Craftsman of course. I think the key to mount that will hold the weight of all the stuff that ends up in a tool box is, to build it so it fits tight between the ROPS. I had to tap it in with a hammer.

And yes It does block the view a little but has not caused me any problems. My tractor is HST and when I hook up I'll just get real close( a couple of inches), put the tractor in low range, and from the right side standing on the ground I will use the HST pedal to move the tractor in to final position...Gotta watch yer feets.

Hope this helps...............KC
