Rear deck tool box for T273

[flyer91]

I just completed mounting a small tool box to the rear deck of my 273.
The tool box was purchased at Wal-Mart for about 5 bucks, and leaves enough room to easily remove the fuel cap and refuel.
The bottom of the tool box is curved and matches the contor of the rear deck very well.
I used the threaded hole on the rear deck (which I assume is for mounting a rear work light) and some foam double stick tape, to avoid removing the fuel tank and drilling more holes.
I plan to use the two holes in the ROPS to mount a work light, because with my hoe, a deck mounted work light would be too low, so ... the deck's hole was put to good use for anchoring my tool box.

Really nice design and a definite must have with any tractor. Where'd you score the TYM sticker?

The TYM decals are cut from the ones on the FEL arms, were it proclaimed it's "Quality Mission Statement" pedigree.
I mean it already said TYM.
The "Quality Matters" part is a tad redundant.

Clever . . . .

It's probably possible to get such decals directly from TYM as part of their "rumored merchandise" line, but every time I click on the Merchandise link at The official TYM Tractor Corporation Web site it tries to send an e-mail to ar@tym-usa.com. Guess the weblink's down or "ar" is the man (or woman) in charge of said merchandise. Love to get my son a t-shirt or something, but as per usual with TYM - they make great tractors , but do a lousy job selling them . . . shame really.

Wow! even the color matched perfectly. Great job!
