I've seen guys use the NH bracket that goes above the gas tank, but personally was not a fan of that mounting location. I wanted it a bit lower for easier access when working behind the tractor.

I took off my hazard placard (triangle) and noticed it was a perfect spot for the toolbox. I removed the triangle mounting bracket and bolted on a piece of angle shelving iron. I then reused the triangle bracket for a nice level platform for the toolbox.

I just so happened to have the matching New Holland toolbox which I had removed from my mower, and presto, perfect fit!

Yeah, I've been trying to fix my dirt road and driveway... the winter was tough on both of them. finally got my driveway looking good, still need some work on the road.

I dislike having a dirty machine though... But my hoses are still in the barn :-(

Not much, just rolled 18. I've been slowed down by a shoulder surgery about 4 weeks ago, but it gets a bit better each day.

Having just 1 good arm really blows...

That toolbox looks good, I mounted mine where the right step was. Good luck on the rehab on your shoulder, I had rotator cuff surgery many years ago.
