John Deere 4066R Tool Box - Finally!

[oldtimer 66]

This is a John Deere tool box and mounting bracket. Why I mounted it on the brush guard I am not sure. It may have been shown in some literature like that but I am not sure or can't remember. The tool box clears the center support on the loader with no problem. I only had it on there for a short period of time. It has a long dove tail mount on the back side of the tool box with a single tab and a lock pin on the inside of the box. It goes on and off very easily. It also has a removable tray that's not shown. It's nice but I don't use it any more. It sets on a shelf with some spare tools in it but I left the mounting bracket on just in case. If I need to work on my tractor and or implement I generally head back to my garage.

I have been searching for a tool box for my John Deere 4066R for some time. Had a number of inspirations but was having a hard time pinning down a design. I don't help as much as I should on forums so I thought I would post it here to maybe give the next guy some ideas.

If I understand, you designed and built the mount - very nicely done - what did you use for the tool box itself, or did you also build it? In other words, if you purchased a tool box, where did you buy it?
