Right out of HS I bought a Sears Tool Box. Small but functional Thought I would keep using it

I got one of those in 73 to carry tools to keep my first car running. It lived in the rotten trunk of that car as I lived in barracks with no personal space. I was pleasantly surprised a couple years later when the box rusted out and Sears replaced it free. I thought that only applied to the tools. I finally gave it to my son about 24 years ago. Filled with tools of course.

That old Craftsman box looks good on there. And the green paint even better.

I have a backhoe and there isn't much room to change the OEM toolbox above the right fender, but some day I'll have to fabricate a bracket for a larger box.

Now that's a real tool box.....Deere engineers take notice....

Very nice job in repurposing you old toolbox.👍

I also bought 4 of those Craftsman tool boxes back in the early 1980s and still have them. They aren’t as nice as yours after spending 40 years in crossbed pickup toolboxes but they are still quite functional. They, and all the tools in them are so old they were all made in the USA. I’m not sure where Deere sources their tractor toolboxes but they aren’t anything to write home about.

Looks great -- nice job!

I couldn’t help but notice that you have a RED tractor key.

I have that same tool box lying around. Maybe I'll mimic yours.

 

[Scoutx]

What's it mounted to?

 

[grnspot110]

Popular box! I've got one of the small ones & two of the bigger ones.

Red key on a custom paracord key chain. My brother makes key chains for all different causes. Told him JD is a cause😁. I mounted it on the bracket that came with the old plastic box. Just moved it out enough to open the lid without hitting ROPS.

Very nice tool box upgrade! I'm thinking of doing something similar with my 2032R.

Nice job I like it👍👍

 

[Viper21]

What a great idea...! Looks awesome.

 

[Sparky64]

Excellent work, looks great.
I'd be tempted to put some sort of JD sticker on either end.
On the other hand, it has a nice and clean look as it is.

I was thinking of an American Flag Decal

The American flag decal adds class and shows your patriotism.. Great idea.

 

[Kbar]

Nice. I’ll bet that thing rattles pretty good with tools in it. I like the bigger design and of course the green.

 

[GreenTundra!2019]

That looks just like mine that's been sitting empty for a lot of years.
