Get a Grip

[jinman]

Now this is one strong little box. I can jump up and down on it and it takes it with ease. I'm on the high side of 220#, so that is a pretty tough box.

Here's the inside of the box. My tray wants to slip down into the box and not sit up properly. I may have to make a mod or two here to get it to sit correctly. I guess everything about a toolbox on sale for $19 ain't gonna be perfect.

Here's a closeup of how I mounted the U-bolts. I could'nt believe this toolbox came with such a perfect way to put the u-bolts in. I just drilled two holes on each side and that was it. Notice the u-bolt strap. That will spread the stress and should keep the plastic from ripping out.

Also, did you notice my rear lights are missing? I got tired of my trees playing T-ball with my lights and took them off. I don't hardly ever take my tractor on the road and my road is a deadend without a whole lot of traffic. It was better to take the lights off than let them get completely destroyed. Hey! Maybe I can mount some lights onto the back of the toolbox. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Nice looking toolbox Jim, and without any welding needed to install it, can't ask for more than that.

First week I had it .... never been back on since ... actually - I took one off - just after the first got taken off by a mesquite limb /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Jim, with the underbite of your grapple bucket you showed on this old thread
can you come down on top of larger rocks to scoop them. If you tried to slide the tines under rock, does it tend to "push" away from you??
