BX23S loader mounted tool box

[Crash277]

Sun was shining all day, I had a bit of time to kill. Got bit by the DIY bug. Decided to finally mount the Plano ammo box to my loader. All made from scrap steel and leftover bolts from other projects. Only time I take my loader off is when I mow, so I figured since I can put the quick attach valve block into the random hole behind the actual mount that I would use it for the toolbox.

Started filling it up. What do you guys typically carry?

2 19mil wrenches
1 hammer
1 adjustable hammer (thumb wrench)
Assorted pins
Spare top pin

going to add
Wrench for the tilt adjustment
Large punch
Side cutters
Zip ties
Rags
Small container of grease
Latex gloves

Side cutters - when mower eats something it shouldn't
little pricey doesn't make tangled mess in box

I'd reconsider the grease - too messy
Spare fuses, 10mm wrench to bleed air out of fuel line(field filter replacement)
grease rags - not sure about gloves

Make labels for toolbox lid

good...until, you forget to lock the lid(or it fails...), raise the bucket up, EVERYTHING falls into the pile of poop you WERE moving

Where do you get your smoking supplies?

Please look again at the FIRST post, 2nd picture, pretty sure it's bolted ON the right side loader arm

Sorry, he could have issues

For 17 years, and 800 hours, I never needed anything other than some mosquito repellant. I must be very lucky!

hopefully they fall in a nice neat pile. Haha

if I decide after a bit I don’t like it there, it’s easy to remove. Would be nice if the fuel tank fill was on the left side, I have seen the swing out toolbox mounts for the rops and I may end up doing that eventually.
