I still seriously doubt that mounting it where you originally planned would hurt anything.I mean,8" in front of the grill should be enough clearance to allow proper airflow.If your grill is like most,its got a bunch of little holes in it.Its not completely open to the air flow.The part of your grill without the holes in it probably restricts the air more than you mounting your box 8" away from the grill ever would.Besides,thats where you really want it and
since you dont have a loader on your tractor,it would also be the most
handy place.If it really bothers you mounting it there,just try it and like i said,keep an eye on the temp gauge for awhile.I would'nt be afraid to do it.
And if it does affect the temp,and you have to relocate it,you are only out a little time and some material to make the mount.And that is where you really want it,isnt it?What the hey,try it.......................Digger2

Nice looking little machine by the way,I always did like the older "squared off-boxy" look.What year is it ????

those cheap little tool boxes with a little flip latch on them or a tool box with a clasp for a paddle on them are junk on a tractor. i have tried them. and the locks just fall apart on them. just way to many vibrations, and cheap flimsy metal used.

ammo containers. have a better flip latch on them to hold them closed.

myself i prefer 5 gallon buckets. and hooks located around the tractor to hang them from.

a side note, another reason for hooks, is to hold the 1 to 3 gallon jugs of water or tea. or buckets to hold the cold beverages with some ice in the buckets.

some folks use bungie cords to hold the water jug on. not for me.

edited your picture to show various spots.

It is an '81 model I believe.

I have a BX 25 and on the back of the seat are plastic plugs and behind them are lugs for attaching arm rests. I got a 50 cal.ammo box and drilled out holes to match the ones in the seat and mounted one there. I don't know if your seat is set up the same way though,but if it is,it's a good place to mount one. My seat also has to turn around for the backhoe and the toolbox doesn't get in the way. If you need pictures I can post them.They are on my other computer. My post should be in here somewhere under "Toolbox for BX25"

Her's a few pictures

I was trying to figure out where to put a toolbox on my little B6100.

Those "Little Mules" don't really require a tool box. Maybe several spanners in case the fuel tank is emptied to check for debris!:thumbsup:

I went with the grill guard. 4" PVC a couple bolts and paint.
