Toolbox on a 990

[BGL990]

As some have noted in other threads, some tractors don't come with toolboxes these days. The 990 is one of
those cases. I was wandering around Canadian Tire (sort of a cross between an AutoZone or PartSource and Walmart
for those who haven't heard of it) and a simple little red toolbox caught my eye. Perfect for my tractor I thought.

I knew right away where I wanted to mount it, but the method was not clear. After much agonizing deliberation
I decided to drill holes in my new tractor /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif and pop rivet it in place. Just 4 small holes in a piece of
bodywork, and I've gotten over it now ... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Farther away, to see it 'in context'. If you're wondering about the lights, they will be the subject of another thread.

Nice work Brad! I considered mounting my tool box in the same location but was afraid I might drill into the gas tank! Thats the way most of my "customization" projects seem to go. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I drilled and tapped into the FEL mount and used some large fender washers to back it up.
