AMC RULES 37,124 #2 Posted January 10, 2014 I've often thought... they should have kept under seat tool boxes on every model. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 54,979 #6 Posted January 11, 2014 Nice "Man Purse"! One good thing about the 953 is the large built in tool box. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,968 #9 Posted January 11, 2014 Thats a good way to go when you have to carry small stuff Chasm. I've often thought what would be a good kind of tool box to bolt to a Wheel Horse but I can't bring myself to drill any holes in the sheet metal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MalMac 1,331 #13 Posted January 11, 2014 Always thought Wheel Horse should have never given up the tool box. On are big farm tractors I would be lost without them. It's almost UnAmerican to be without a tool box on a tractor. I have often thought about bolting one on somewhere. We have got a lot of talented fabricator members on here maybe they will come up with some great Idea. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,124 #14 Posted January 11, 2014 I'm thinkin', those hermetically sealed lids on military ammo boxes would make the perfect candidate for add on tool boxes. I just need to come up with a mount that won't require drilling holes into my sheet metal...then paint to match. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chazm 413 #15 Posted January 11, 2014 I hear ya Craig, I feel the same way about drilling holes. The only thing I seen that I liked was the seat covers with the pouch on the back Chasm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shallowwatersailor 3,213 #16 Posted January 12, 2014 I'm thinkin', those hermetically sealed lids on military ammo boxes would make the perfect candidate for add on tool boxes. I just need to come up with a mount that won't require drilling holes into my sheet metal...then paint to match. This started back during leaf season as I needed a place to store the tools for the Cyclone Rake. HF recently released plastic ammo boxes which are smaller than a 12" tool box. Originally it was just the box but then grew into flashing lights and a backup light. The nice thing is that I didn't drill any holes into the tractor. It is about 80% finished as I still need to wire it completely, touch up, etc. I use 1" x 1/8" aluminum angle. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T McCool 287 #17 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I keep my tow strap/hook, gloves, and a spare beer under the hood of my 657 right behind the dash. The beer never gets a chance to warm up when im cutting, a little shaken up but thats about it haha. When i swapped the original seat and toolbox out for the old style pan seat i lost my storage soooo i kinda had to make due. Original seat/fender and storage box/seat mount is up for sale if anyone is close to pittsburgh area! Edited January 13, 2014 by T McCool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
