Battery box for ZB

Have a gentleman that is looking for a battery box or two for a couple of ZBs. Is there anyone making reproduction ones or have some decent used ones? I think he said he had checked with Welters and Wendell Everett but didn't find one yet.
 
Does Ken Hicks still make battery boxes? Back in the '90s he sold me one for both a ZB and a '54 UTS. I don't have contact info for him. Also, you need to know if the tractor is on LP or not, it sometimes makes a difference where the mount holes are punched.
 
Im not sure but I don't think so. Havent talked to him in a while about them. I believe the tractors are on gasoline but hadn't thought of LP being different. Thanks for the info.
 
Alan: I no longer make the battery supports. The ZB boxes are the same for LP or gasoline. they are the same box as a UB except for the bolt hole pattern on the bottom (UB 3 holes ZB 4 holes). I believe Welters still has them for UB. Could get one and make new holes for the bolt pattern of a ZB transmission case/cover.
 
I think it depends on how the tank is mounted whether the battery box is different. Ran into that on the UTS, where the battery box is actually offset from the transmission top because the lp. tank mounts so low. It may not matter on a ZB since I think the tank is mounted higher.
 
I didn't think you made them anymore. I will let the guy know about remaking a UB one. That is a good idea.
