Toolbox for 4052R Cab

[LouNY]

Here's a link to a spring manufacture and sales;
Coil & Custom Spring Manufacturer | Century Spring Corp.
I used them for several spring orders a few years ago.
My loader control valve detents were so tight that I was stretching and breaking cables to the joystick,
I went through several spring combinations before getting a set that gave good feel but would hold in the float detent.

I'd like to add a tool box for things like a crescent wrench, lynch pins and such...unlike the 4520 with a Curtis Cab, the cab of the 4052 is quite nice and I'd like to keep it that way as long as possible.
I don't see any good place to mount a decent sized tool box...saw a picture of one mounted on the loader masts, but it wasn't Deere tractor and I'm not real crazy about drilling into that heavy cast iron of the H180 loader.
I've also seen pictures of an ammo box mounted on the quick hitch...I'm thinking there's adequate clearance even when the 3PH is fully raised and the QH is closest to the fenders. Right now, since the QH never comes off the 3PH, that would be the best option

I'm open to other suggestions...pictures, if possible

I am in the process of building a frame that will mount at the rear of my 4052R to hold a toolbox 20" x 9", I will post a picture when I am done.

Good idea...except for limiting access to the windshield washer reservoir.
It's already pretty limited and I had to rig some plastic tubing to a funnel to fill mine

I have posted this before on the JD tool box. This is mounted on my 4320 with the 400x loader and brush guard. Easy on and easy off with the v latch and pin.

I thought about putting it there but was afraid of damaging it with the loader up and bumping into something.

Finished product, very happy with it. John Deere wants $87 for this toolbox, I painted this one that I have had for over 40 years.

Have you thought about putting a toolbox mount on the loader with clamps instead of drilling? Similar to a number of rops clamp solutions
