What an excellent idea, thanks for sharing it.

Good idea. That's a good way to use that little nook. Magnets are handy and often over looked. I use adhesive magnetic strips stuck on a mouse bait station to secure them to the floor of my dozer and tractor that stay in the woods. Also magnetic markers for setting the proper height of my FEL when I plow snow.

Good idea and thanks for the magnet link. Buuut, uh, what are you spraying wax-lube onto every day that requires you to keep this can so handy? Is your tractor chain-drive? Lol.

I usually make two or more implement changes per day. Here in HOT, HUMID, Florida if you do not keep TPH pins lubed they rust in a day or two. So lubing hitch pins is the primary use.

I have never found a lube superior to chain wax lube for the tractor PTO splines, to ease PTO connections. Eureka "Fluid Film" is my #2 choice. At age 73, working alone, I need all the help I can get mating implement and tractor PTO bits.

I use red tacky grease in a spray can. It stays put.
