In Reply to: tool boxes on old tractors posted by Charlie M on April 14, 2022 at 16:27:10:

Some did, some didn't, and some that didn't had one available as an option.

I made a tool box. About 18 inches long, 6 inches wide, and about 8 inches deep, with a slant top hinged lid. I made it out of heavier guage sheeting, than the ones you can buy. It'd take alot, to even dent it.
I bolted it to the side of the frame rail on one of my tractors, and it is probably the handiest tool box I got on a tractor. Even counting the factory ones I have.

I don't keep many tools in my tractor tool boxes. Basically things that are only used on that tractor. Spark plug socket, and so on. You'd be more apt to find more parts in my tool boxes than tools. An old radiator hose that wasn't blown when it was replaced. A hose clamp or two. Maybe the last spark plugs that got changed out. Or a good used plug wire.

Actually, if I throw tools in and out of the tractor tool box, they are most always for the implement that's hooked on. If tractor breaks down, you'll likely be walking home anyways. If implement breaks down, you have a better chance of getting back going again if you got the right tools to coble things up different. Take broken mower guard out of the middle of the bar, and move the inside end one to
the middle, and keep on going by jogging out one guard width. Stuff like that. More you can scrounge to do, with the implement, moreso than the tractor.
So, when I change the implement, I change out the tools. So nothing much, just stays in the box. A small box helps. If
its to big, then you don't have to clean it out, to put other tools in it when you change implements.

My pet peeve, is driving someone else's cabbed tractor, with tools rolling around on the floor. 2 different guys I help, are both bad about that.

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to ... [Read Article]
