Tool Box

[beetlebaily]

I have a B7800 and would like to hook up some type of box for carrying chains, chain saw, etc. Any ideas where to put one??

I have a similar problem. ATM, I just keep everything in the FEL bucket, but that solution is far from ideal. I use a PTO Drawbar on my lower links when I'm skidding logs, and typically take the top link off to prevent me from attaching logs to stupid places on accident. I had a thought the other night though:

I could fab up a sheetmetal "shelf" that attaches to the top link, and to either side of the PTO drawbar. Next, I would attach my toolbox/cooler/milk crate full of goodies to the shelf.

Just a thought, if I make any drawings or actually fab the thing, I'll post pics.

Is there any way to attach a small crate or something of that nature to the sub frame of the loader? Just a thought.

First thing I thought when I got my tractor was "what a ridiculous toolbox." The only space large enough and out of the way I found for another was between the hood and the FEL frame. I made up a tray out of plywood with two parallel blocks on the underside that simply wedges onto the FEL support frame. Keeps the toolbox in place nicely and is very easy to access, or lift out and take it where I need it.

Also whipped up a simple box for chains. It rests on the FEL frame and is secured by a single bolt to the sheet metal directly in front of the clutch.

Works for me!

Looks kinda funny, but it works very well - I have about 50' of chain, 25' in each 4" tube!

Oh, i like that. I think my L4600 is going to get a few of those hidden on it.

Thanks for the picture, it is sweet.

Is that sprayed or did you find an orange pipe yard?
