I decided that Bob was right in that the only convenient place to put a tool box is where the right side step is. Tried to get started and my oxygen tanks were both empty so I went to get them filled and took my regulators to see about putting on some new pressure gauges. I ended up just buying a new torch kit by Harris. The manager of the welding supply said that Victor got too high to stock and Harris is good brand. I got torch, gauges, hose, stricker, goggles, two bottle of oxygen refilled and an neat bag that the Harris stuff came for $206. I put the old stuff in for storage.
Finally got home about 3pm and it off the rest of the afternoon to design and fab up a bracket for the tool box that will bolt on to the 4 bolts that held on the steps. I got it painted about 6pm and it should be dry tomorrow. I will mount the tool box to it then and put it on the tractor.
I will try to post some photos tomorrowlbefore I mount the box and after installed. I used all 4" x 1/8" flat bar to make it as that was all I had available and it seems to be plenty sturdy. I had to redo it a couple of times due to fab errors but finally got it tacked up and it fit. I first built the bracket to fit the toolbox then added the attachment brackets. I centered it up and then checked the fit. It was too close to the tire so I took it all back apart and offset it. I couldnt mount it like Bob did his due to the cab door but I think it is going to be plenty high where it is.

It is rather hard to get off on that side anyway due to all the controls catching on your pants or shirttail so I rarely if ever get off on that side. Many tractors dont even put a step on the right side to start with. I just wanted something that I could put some extra snap rings, hammer, straps and rope, big 15" adjustable wrench and pipe wrench for tightening up the 3 point lift pin if they get loose, maybe some spare pins in case I break one or bend it. I dont need a full set of wrenches as most repairs I go to the shop where I have cutting torch and welding machine, air tools and big 1" drive sockets. I wont put my 20 foot of 3/8" chain in it either as I dont normally need a chain and if I do, it will be a one of specialty project.
