Toolbox.

[Stormin 9,984]

While looking around for things to do, I spied a little toolbox on a workshop shelf. Now all three Wheel Horses have toolboxes fitted to their fenders, but not the Sears/Roper. I've been reluctant to drill holes in it's fenders.

  Looking at the back end, I noticed a couple of bolts securing the seat mount sticking out with some thread showing. Just enough to fasten something on.

  So yesterday the toolbox got a rub down and a coat of primer. Followed by a couple of top coats of mat black. I've no gloss.

 

 

 

  This morning I fitted it.

 

 

 

  Nice fit methinks.

I did the same thing on my old homemade. I wanted to use an old beat up metal tool box but was too long and hit the tires so I had to use this plastic one. I just had to put a little plate under it so I could still hook up the dump cart and lawn roller. I put some chain in there an ax, screw driver, pliers, gloves...etc

  1978 Sears/Roper GT16. B&S 16hp twin. Only made for one year with that engine. Bit of a rarity we believe.

 

 There's the restoration thread by Alan Robinson who rebuilt it on MoM. https://myoldmachine.com/topic/2544-1978-sears-roper-gt16/ I bought it of him as he could not keep it at home.
