New Tractor Tool Box

[rocknrod]

I have lost a couple of pins out here and broke a couple of sheer pins as well.
So I went on e-bay and bought a blue tool box a few weeks ago.
Removed the bracket that holds the slow moving vehicle triangle.
Bent it up about 15 degrees in a vice and reinstalled it.
Held up the new box, used a angled scribe for the bolt holes.
Drilled it, put some steel plate inside as well for support.
Installed it.
I put the triangle bracket on the outside and it works great.
I even got some wire and crimps for smaller pins to keep it closed.
Now I have the tools with me and the various pins including sheer pins and don't have to come in to fix it. :thumbsup:

I think I bought it from this guy:

You have to be very careful not to get it too much in the center of the tractor - or you will have trouble with the 3 point top link.

Very nice. I've been looking for a place to mount an ammo can for that kind of thing. May have to see if I can get one of those instead. Looks like it matches the LS blue too. I've never seen a NH and LS close enough together to realize the shades of blue are the same.

I tried a ammo can on the front between the uprights of the brushgaurd, but the lid wouldnt open. The rear would work for an ammo can also.

I wouldn't go that far. The tool box is not a perfect match. Is it painted correctly? Who really knows
