Tool Box

[NC419N]

Anyone here mounted a Tool Box on the "New" NX series Tractors? There needs to be one mounted somewhere for pins and such. There looks to be room and there are some tapped holes in the bracket that holds the washer fluid. But I am open for other ideas as to where to mount it.

I'd have to say mount it where ever you have room and it's not in the way.

NC419N, with one reply so far, looks like you're going to have to be the pioneer on this one. When you get it figured out, let the rest of us know. I've noodled this for awhile and places to mount a toolbox are hard to come up with on the NX cabbed models. For a very small box (for hitch and link pins and a drawbar pin) the backing plate for the rear windshield wiper reservoir would work. For anything heavier, you'd have to reinforce it with gussets. But before you commit to that, take a look at EricTheOracle's nifty chainsaw carrier that he designed and mounted to that backing plate on his NX6010HST Cab. You may prefer to use the location for that rather than a toolbox. For small stuff like pins, even wrenches and other small tools, a 15" soft-sided canvas tool bag from HF or similar fits nicely behind the factory seat. I have two, one sits on top of the other, and they hold a lot of stuff. HF sells two types. The one with the soft bottom fits best for this. 15" Canvas Tool Bag

Ah yes, Doug. I'd forgotten about your post on that mod last year. Thanks for the update! For the benefit of the OP and perhaps others, I'm posting a link to your original thread. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kioti-buying-pricing/325292-newest-addition.html

Since the fender stands off from the steel mounting bracket on two polymer posts, how did you go about shimming out to get a rigid surface for the toolbox mounting bracket?
