Sady this tractor doesn't have alot of room for stuff like the solenoid and fuel pump. So I had just a couple minutes tonight and I cobbled this little double decker up for my battery box. I keep little brackets and in the case of these I have a drawer full. 

 

As with many battery boxes the back retainer strap was gone. This one won't break down before the box rots away. Plus it's 1/2 inch further away from the drive belt. 

 

First pic is all the stuff I gotta mount up. The rest is the box I fabbed up. Took less than 30 mins. About all I had time for today...

The small solenoid is usually strapped around the starter there is enough room if turned up close to the engine. I was going to use a larger solenoid on the 18 but there isn't enough room

Gets real tight on the C's and older tractors.

Looks like there is still enough room for the rectifier to bolt to the back of the engine.

I also reversed the battery and moved the tie down, there a tall 350cc battery in there.

Yep, those WH engineers were pretty efficient. A great example is the innards of the 8-speed Unidrives.

I like the “loft” idea for extra mounting space!
