Tool box . . . ?

[Joe1]

HF has a metal .50 cal box that would work good.

I was going to purchase the HF .50 cal box and changed my mind because it was pretty weak looking. Thin metal that flexed and looked like they would not hold up without denting and probably rusting quickly. If you could find an actual old military .50 cal box instead of an HF replica it would be a lot stronger. You're going to want to paint it, whatever it is for your shiny new tractor.

An old ammo box - think army surplus store - I have used one of these fastened to the brace on the roll bar for years. Not the small one but the next size up can hold a fair amount. Get some spray paint and paint it to match the tractor

.50 Cal .....Sportsman's Guide used to have Russian ammo boxes which are heavily made

Hi all, new guy here. I bought a T1510 a few weeks ago, to replace my ancient Fergie T020 which I sold last week.

Anybody got ideas for where to attach some sort of small toolbox on the NH? I only need something small to store pins, repair links, pliers, maybe a screwdriver or two.

I was thinking on top of the left fender, but it would have to be small and sit towards the back so I don't rack my elbow on it.

Below is a plastic electrical box from Amazon that would probably work well on the fender.

Or I could take the SMV sign off of the back and use that mount to bolt a steel box to (don't need the SMV sign around here).

You ALWAYS need a SMV sign if you drive on or along a roadway.
It might help those drivers on the road and on the phone to see you before the crash.

I used a 5.56 ammo box to replace the undersized toolbox that came on my B2301. Much handier. Virtually any flat surface that you won't hit with your elbow should work.
