That is a nice one, don't know why I did not see it searching. I initially thought of something like that until I realized the toplink would hit pretty much anything behind the seat.

My Kubota M9540 came with a small toolbox behind the seat, but I added an ammo can that is mounted to the loader frame so when I take the loader off, I still have the toolbox on the tractor. I also modified the grill guard to be a chain box. I added a fire ext. to the ROPS.

Them ammo boxes work great

here is where I mounted mine, not all that large but does hold the essentials :thumbsup: a Chain, few wrenches, screwdrivers short handle hammer, spare tractor pins, etc,etc,

No pics, but my CCY SX3100 is so compactly designed, there's hardly any place to mount even a narrow 30-cal ammo box. I've tried! I ended up using a section of angle iron bolted to a pair of existing holes in the top of the cross-bar behind the seat, above the PTO. Then I passed a pair of short 3/8 bolts through holes drilled in the angle iron into the side of the ammo can. The angle iron allows me to hang the ammo can on the back of the cross-bar so that the can is more or less suspended over and to one side of the PTO. This allows me to put the seat back as far as it'll go without bumping into the ammo can, but it also means I can't put anything too heavy in the ammo can. Not ideal, but it works, and I can easily remove the ammo can and angle iron, leaving behind no traces of the modification.

i've had to make angle iron brackets to mount tool boxes before too. when I added a rops to my ford 5000, the fender tool box couldn't fit anymore.. not enough fender either side.. so i made a double offset angle iron bracket and found 2 bolt hole sinthe trans bellhousing for it. worked great. mounts just like the one on my 7610S does.. esentially..
