Yeah, won't be needing to do that til I get a chance to restore my #3 mower. At my current pace, that may have to wait til my kids are grown in a dozen or so years. Until then, I'll have a nice place to store all my pins and such.

i think that someone with the right tools could fab up a nice foot step plus tool box that was all in one and able to be fastened to preexisting holes on the tractor platforms already i seen some homeade steps that were nice and low and had plenty of material on the back side to attach a box or make the bottom step the box and have it hinge open like a 18" by 6" box slash step for a CA Allis but i will say the nicest boxes are the one made out of the seats for a b, and c, seats they hold a lot although i have bad memories of fingers getting slammed in the seat when rounding wrenches up not paying attention  dad had that early b that had a big steel seat with a box under it it had arm rests and looked factory with all the spot welds and machine brakes in it sat up about 4 inches higher as well. have not seen a similar seat since any one seen one like this??????????

The one on my 17 is big enough for me the all three tractors are just factory ones. We don't run any JD stuff so I gess we dont need much for tools on board  ! On a side note I built a tool box on my wood hauler for the saw, gas, oil and box I have for the chain saw parts, like files weges and hammer. The bottom has a crusher screen in it so if the oil or gas spills it dont make a mess.

the second step up on my 7080 has the tool box mounted as part of the step, the lid/step opens upward. almost looks factory, maybe they were offered that way new??? it's deep, but doesn't hamper stepping up into the ab!

Dad always had mounted tool boxes on main tractors' frame rails. Bracket bolted to frame rails. Toolbox could be removed by pulling single pin. Easier than running back to tractor when working on whatever was in tow. Tools were for implement repairs as tractors were mostly AC but equipment mostly off color. You can see the toolbox bracket bolted to the frame in between the tank heater and the grease gun rack(holds 3 guns). "THE CAT" with her tool box still mounted to her side. Still full of rivets,knife sections,rivet tool,guards from her days mowing hay. Dad mowed all the hay-we baled 25,000 bales a year to fill our barn for the dairy herd.
