All that I carry is 12" adjustable wrench, 420 channel locks, and a 20oz. hammer.

Also a can of wasper spray. They love my orange hood. I had one a couple of years kept trying to sting my hood. I thought it was pretty funny. Probably hit it 20 times before it stung me right between the eyes. Stopped being funny.

I like those screwdrivers with the different tips in the handle. If makes it easy to do different things like put a fuel line back on, or change a light bulb.

Adjustable wrench, pliers and a hammer are the basics.

Haywire, hammer, slip joint pliers, bubble gum and a quarter to call home.

Personally i have found that a pair of the small needle nose vice grips like these
IRWIN Vise-Grip The Original™ Locking Pliers Sets
to be one of the most important tool for any box .
Ive tried the crapsmans and arent happy at all with them , but youll be surprised how many jobs these can do.

You said in the truck so if you're trailering your tractor to a property away from home as I do, I carry the full array: wrenchs, sockets, pipe wrench (lifesaver) small sledge, chain, sheepherders jack, screwdrivers, pinch bar etc. Harbor frieght and estate sales makes this an inexpesive insurance policy.

The truck sometimes ends up 1/2 mile away from the work site but has the tools. I'll carry plenty and will have a shed out there this summer. What is a "sheep herders jack"? I hope to NOT need to change tires but expect punctures inevitably.

If you use electrical tape to hold a spare shearpin on the respective hitch arm of each implement that requires them, you will always have one handy when you need it.

A sheepherders jack is a heavy I beam jack that can lift heavy and high which is especially useful when stuck in the mud. Also can be used to stretch fencing and straighten stuff. TSC, HF, N.HYD all should have them. as I recall, there was a pretty good thread a while back on tractor tool boxes with some good ideas.

Something I forgot to mention in my last post... if you have coverage in your area, a cell phone. I am usually by myself on the tractor and yelling for help would do no good. A cell phone could save your life if anything ever went wrong. But it has to be on you, not in your tool box.
