Where would you put a tool box? (1705)

It'll fit fine-I held it in place. It's smaller than my photoshop shows. I grabbed some bolts during my lunch break and will try and mount it tonight.

Looks clean. I went with my original idea of zip tying a tool pouch to my tractor. I have had it on there ever since I started this thread and its worked great. Some thought the tools would come out but that hasn't happened at all. I park my tractor in my garage in the third bay so the pouch doesn't get weathered.

When you open the lid does the lid hit the top of the seat?

Just another thought since it looks like you already solved the problem...

I've used old ammo boxes on several different kinds of tractors (B2150, older Massey Pacer, etc.) and found the sheet metal the cans are made of won't stand much with a lot of vibration/shaking, heavy tools, etc. If you were going to mount using those existing holes in the loader mount frame, I would have a piece of heavy steel (say 3/8") bent to be like a short section of "angle iron, about the length of the box. The angle iron makes some room between the vertical support and the box so you have room to open and close the box lid. Bolt that fabricated angle iron solid to the loader frame (or where ever) and then bolt the ammo can thru it's bottom to the angle iron. In some cases a good big rubber grommet around each bolt helps to absorb shaking too.

No, its mounted on a couple of aluminium bars that has it back enough that with seat full back you can open lid without hitting seat... Look at bottom of box very closely... If you look up from under body there is already two holes in a bracket on sub frame all one has to do is put holes in plastic body to mount bars....

I put mine here from BXPanded. They were even nice enough to paint it Massey Ferguson red

I used the bracket for the SMV sign.
The box has been on there a couple years now and no problems.
The bracket on the tool box is a scrap L bend from some garage door parts...and I put a piece of angle iron inside the tool box.
I also added a pvc tube for my chains and a plywood scabbard for my chainsaw.

Rocko - Can you share a pic of how the saw saddle and PVC pipe is mounted, please?

Mounted my toolbox on my GC2310 today.
I wanted something moveable/removable.

Something similar is what I'm thinking.
