its purdy too! Good work, how heavy did it come out to be do you think? Your giant shop makes your tractor look small
Giant schmiant! It needs to be 4 times bigger. The box itself is 250. The filling is sand/ pea gravel plus some steel scrap should make it approach 800. That would be close to the hoe. Thinking about what you said the hoe is what it needs, that was my target anyways. :drink: No trap door, so if I want it lighter- it gets a hole burned in it....
Rustoleum safety blue. I'm not the best painter. In applying it @ 45 degrees, I thinned it slightly and it mostly dried in a few days. I have the cover popped open to help it finish. (Hopefully) Thanks for the kudos guys.

Only 4 cup holders!?!?. What were you thinking?
But seriously that looks nice. I need to do something like that to my tractor too.

Nice. Just a straight bolt-on addition the way you made it? I can see that potentially avoiding a heck of a headache!
Not so much. Holes will be drilled. There isn't much to mount to there. There are 2 round bosses which is likely for a clutch pedal or pivot on a geared model. The back is pretty well protected, but the front could grab something in the rough.
