Toolholders on ballst box and receiver hitch

Mercmaniac · Jun 2, 2011

I added schedule 40 stainless pipes for toolholders on my ballast box and 3 pt receiver hitch. I drilled 1/4" hole across the bottom, cut lengths of 1/4" rod to put thru the holes and then hammered the ends of the rod like a rivet. Fabricated another holder out of some channel for D-handled tools and the chain saw.

Like the tool box on the back of the tractor. How is it attached? How about some closeups?

Wow I like it, You used Uni-strut and everything! Cool stuff. I bet you are an electrician? Really nice job.

Very sanitary looking...if I did something like that I'd probably use the white PVC plastic pipe instead of going to all that work cutting and drilling the steel stuff. NICE JOB !!
