BX Auxiliary Chain Box mod!

[dragoneggs]

Been thinking a long time about fabricating a metal box to mount on my BX25D to hold my 20ft chain. Up until now I have just laid it on the floor and it was constantly in the way of my feet. Well... I think I have a great solution... what do you think? Found a metal ammo box at Costco... painted it the proper color and mounted it to the FEL tower with Click Bond fasteners. No drilling, no welding on the tractor! I hope to upload a you tube video on the install shortly.

I just keep my chains in the 2500hd truck box. That's nice also.

Very nice that should do the trick for you.

Mark, what do you do: wax your BX every week. Mine does not have time to wax its self between jobs so is no longer shiny, plus I have to store outside.

My first day in the wood pile and that box would be on the ground smashed up.

Never waxed it once! A rare wash... my BX is just photogenic!

Okay put together a video in detail of the entire mod, step by step and a little thought process as well. Warning... it ended up 25 minutes long. Maybe it will put you to sleep or maybe you will like it?
