What tools on your tractor?

[Rickstir]

I know that the "tool boxes" on tractors are not that big, but what tools do you carry when you are on the go?

Erik_in_Hoyt,
You're right. I have so many guns I lose track of which is which. Thanks for pointing out the error.

LBrown59,

MT - not a problem, just means you need to post more gun pics in the rural section.
Of course, if you really have too many, I'd be more than willing to foster parent couple of them to make sure they get enough attention. heh.

large slip joing pliers (Channel locks) tape measure...
I use the above to make tilt adjustments to the box blade (I often use the tape measure when I want to make sure the blade is all square/level with the 3pth)

if I had more room I would cary more

I use bungie straps to hold a rake, shovel, hoe etc. across my box blade

Not a bad idea. I suppose as time goes on pins will break or come up missing.

ya nuts and bolts dont seem to work them self loose but i cant count the times I have lost a pin while working or a keeper. I also keep a few pieces of 9 gage wire in the box in case i have to make a new retainer real quick

Good Mornin Rick,
Lots of good suggestions here, but I havent seen anyone mention a fire extinguisher !

You might think of adding one and mount it on a fender. When way out in a field far from your house, is not the time to find out how to put out a fire on your tractor !

Depends on what I'm doing. The "regular" stuff is, pair of gloves, a couple rags, wire ties, hitch pins, fence pliers, cresent wrench (which doubles as a hammer) a roll of wire, screwdriver, and a couple odd open end wrenches. Used to carry a bottle opener too.

 

[Rickstir]

Thanks for the tip on the fire extinguiser, definately intend to do that. A neighbor a few years ago started a fire with his hot muffler. By the time he could get anything to help, it was out of control.
Tried seraching on 'tools' and nothing happened.

almost the same - I keep two wrenches, though, and a knife. No paint, though I bet I would if the box were bigger.

Lots of tractor pins, as I always seem to need one.

Chains wrapped around front grill protector - often handy.

Not much different than what's already been mentioned. I bought a cheap plastic tea pitcher (I guess that was what it was intended for) from Wal Mart to hold my chain. It fits between the seat and fender of my L2800 and is quite handy. One major addition was a large, 18-inch cresent (sp?) wrench... while shredding not long ago, I noticed one of the 3-pt pins on my bush hog was loose and I didn't have a wrench large enough to tighten it... Grrrr lol

workinallthetime - Where does one find a metric crescent wrench?
