Tractor Chain Box
- needed a place to put my chains for hoisting, etc on the tractor. Now that I have a cab, I couldn't do the 4" PVC-to-ROPS mount I did previously.

Underseat slide out "bin"
The Mahindra 26xx series is known to have a VERY low sitting seat. My 2655 had it too, and I raised it up 3" and moved it back 3" as well but putting some 3" square tube under the seat. I saw a space between them, and said.... "Hmmmm.. I could store some stuff here"

So I mounted some slides to the seat risers

made a steel box and painted! Looks nice

Looks nice, opens easily, from outside the tractor or while sitting. But since I since I used soft self-closing slides, it stays shut really well. Won't open by itself. I keep things like a crescent wrench, utility knife, screwdrivers, etc in this box.

I like that ! I've been toying with the idea of raising my seat. You've just given me more motivation to do it. Thanks

I raised my seat with 4in c channel years ago and it is one of the better more I've done

Great fabricating skills, I really like the slides as used on well made tool boxes.
