I turned an 1/8 off the diameter. It's 4-3/8 now. I think I have an idea how to lock it into the tractor I have a couple parts coming to see if it will work.
I would be concerned about a metal tool box rusting over time. Which is why I chose a plastic Craftsman toolbox, that and the cost: $10 at the store. My next little project will be figuring out a way to carry gloves and maybe a sweatshirt, keeping them from dropping off the tractor while travelling thru the woods to grandma's house.

No question that the best place for a tool box is between the ROPS uprights. Unfortunately, for those of us with a cab or BH, it isn't an option.
With a BH - that's not entirely true. I was able to mount a 30 cal ammo box, but I mounted a plate to the ROPS cross bar and mounted the box to the plate a few inches in front of the ROPS. It gives just enough clearance between the BH and tractor seats. I use it to carry a qt of bar & chain oil, a scrench, and will probably put a few odd spare parts in there.
