What would you carry
 

My 1772 has a tool box on the back. Whith the limited space what would you carry. I am thinking 3/4 wrench for 3pnt, 15/16 wrench for 3pnt plow. Extra hair pins and hitch pins. I would like to carry a hammer but any one that would fit is not really big enough to be of any help. Any ideas on what might work as hammer and also fit.

Cresent wrench. Then you can have any size wrench you need. Roll of small wire and cutting pliers. Wrap it in a tight cloth, or it will sound like a sewing machine when you drive around. Cloth can be used as a rag.

Will it hold a couple cold beers? LMAO :beerchug:

This :beer2:

I'd keep a good pair of pliers, some wire, a crescent wrench, a couple extra cotter pins, and a hitch pin. Should be a pretty good start, I know a lot of hard times have been fixed with some wire, a crescent wrench, and a pair of pliers in the field.

If your yard is anything like mine in the spring a pull strap would be nice to have on hand. I always seems to search for 1/2 an hour when I need one.

btw, Im stealing this idea and putting a tool box there as well, very handy.

Since the tractor is a 1772, I would carry a 17! :bigthink:

But, I do not have room for such a box,,,,,,,,, :banned:

:biggrin2:

If I had a tool box I think I'd carry just the tools needed to operate the tractor, like the wrenches for the hitch and a couple bottles of water (for me). My luck I'd never have the right tool with me if something broke anyway and if it did break it's only a couple hundred feet at most to my real toolbox. If you're mowing more than 4 or 5 acres it might be a different story.

I can't believe CAD is getting that nice super dirty...lol! Just picking on ya, CAD. :biggrin2::beerchug:

Gotta run what I brung! :bigthink:

:biggrin2:

My normal "tool box" is that yellow trailer hooked to the hitch! :biggrin2:

I always have a crescent wrench some pliers mall pipe wrench (works well as a hammer in a pinch l) and a short chain. A couple heavy screwdrivers as well

I hear ya, CAD! I'm the same way. :beerchug:

Duct tape.:biggrin2:

NIK,

I have a similar tool box on one of my 102s. In addition to what has already been mentioned I always stored the little clevis that I used to hook up a chain as I could never remember where I put that thing. I also usually had some bundle ties. I have a wood splitter that has a ball hitch and stored the ball there too as I could never find it when I wanted to use it too.

Why did I have to see this, just cost me $60.00.Gotta have one!!!!!!!!!!!!

I built my own out of scrap wood. Drilled a hole or two and was good to go. Has lasted me for only aboiut 15 years.

More like $75 with shipping

Hey CAD you might want to invest in a Brush Bar :biggrin2::biggrin2::biggrin2: Paul

I don't have a picture, but I seen, and then made, a 15" crescent wrench with a chunk of metal welded onto it, to double as a hammer. Not sure if it would fit, might have to use a 12". I have an old school 1/2"-9/16" reversible Craftsman ratchet wrench in mine, along with hitch pins and hair pins.
