That's way too nice for a toolbox, I would keep my lunch in that one if I were you. It's well within reach for potatoe chips, cookies, sandwiches and cold beer.

I'm just pulling your leg a bit. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif That's really a nice installation.

Hey i'm glad i finally found a way to post some pictures. I couldnt understand why kubota didnt put some sort of tool box on thier tractors. i kept thinking of a way to do it. i had built some cheesy mount that went between my ROPS . then i was in a hardware store called sutherlands and saw these little tool boxes. i bought one and drilled out the rivets that held the handle and filled them with just rivets. then i just swollowed and drilled a few holes in my fender and bolted it on. of course i couldnt have a red box on my fender so gave it a coat of kubota orange.

It's not the biggest but it's big enough to have a few tools and extra pins ,gloves and if i arrange it right a 20 ounce drink.
It even makes a decent arm rest. i have been thinking about getting some of the interior folks at work to make me a orange cushion for it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

But i'll put some more of my stuff on soon. i am just finishing my belly pan. i should be able to get paint on it in the morning.

Nice job! It looks like it is part of the original equipment.
