Where to mount a tool box?

clemsonfor · Jun 1, 2016

that is a pretty cool and neat idea. For someone with more money than time that is a good alternative to some of the solutions given here.

Amsoil makes some really good diesel fuel additives. Go to Amsoil.com to see.

They do, I like some two stroke Amsoil stuff. Shipping it sucks though.

Huh??

There are two Mount A Toolbox threads.

Let's abandon this old 2016 thread and stick with the recent one. Tool box mount

(Although the photos I posted in this old thread are relevant replies to the new thread).

Haha yea. These zombie posts are kind of strange when they pop up. Someone has been clicking the related threads down at the bottom of the page.

Hi Yanmar newbie here! I have a 2210 with FEL that I recently purchased to go along with my Vladimirec T25A (was marketed as a Belarus 250A). I am spoiled by the large toolbox on Ivan (the Vladimirec), so I was trying to find somewhere on Yancey (the Yanmar) to mount something I could carry tools in. I tried a soft tool bag on the fender, but it was too floppy for my liking. Somewhere on the forum, someone had used Harbor Freight magnets on a toolbox and mounted it on the hood. So I started to look and found these large rubber coated magnets with threaded inserts and bolts that were designed to mount light bars to off-road vehicles. I ordered a pair from Amazon and drilled a couple of holes in an ammo can and mounted it, vertically, on my FEL upright. It's not going anywhere! Even loaded down with tools and spare pins and clips it doesn't move regardless of what I drive over. I thought everything might spill out as soon as I opened the lid on the ammo box with it being vertical, but that's not been the case.

This thread started in 2016. There is a 2018 thread mentioned a few post up from yours that you may want to put your info in or start a new one ad this is Oct 2019.
Neat ideal. How would it work mounted using the magnets on the FEL arm? Some of us bigger guys take up pretty much all the space between the fender and the FEL upright getting on and off.

I'd worry it would get ripped off bush hogging and I don't see it untill I hear it banging around under the deck and look for it in its location. Or it falling off while trailering and me loose everything in it.

I would think that would still be somewhat of a concern with where he shows it mounted on the FEL upright with the magnets.
Personally, my toolbox is mounted where my Right side grab bar was at as I can not enter/exit in that side due to the FEL mounted controls.
