I removed my smv sign since my tractor never leaves my property and installed a tool box in it's location. If I ever need my smv sign I have a magnet installed on it and can attach it to my tool box. Total cost was $40 for everything. 1/4 aluminum plate and stainless steel hardware.

No where Special
Wish i could do that to my BX23s. My issue is that a toolbox in that location will get in the way when i use the backhoe.

Could you get by with a 30 caliber ammo can since it's width is only 3 13/16?

I suffer from the same brain strain. Location, location, location. My wanting to keep it/them inside the stance of the tractor, has my sensible creativity about out of options.

Use a couple magnets mounted to the box, and stick it to the ROPs behind the seat. When you want to use the backhoe, simply pull it off.

Magnet Mounts

I use one for an LED light on my ROPs...

I considered magnets for lighting. Not for the cans. I want a permanent stationary solution.
You're pretty limited space wise with the small BX tractors.

You don't mess around. That mount would withstand moving a tank...lol. Nice work.

Made a tool box, work station so I can carry water line equipment, chainsaw and tools, fencing supplies etc. It’s on a quick hitch, so I can just flip 2 QD levers and take it off.

Looks like you can set 5 gallon buckets in there too. Milk crates, maybe as well?
It also has a lid, that works as a hardened work bench. Easy to add onto, or replace parts in expensively

Shaped edges to boot. The man has a woodshop. I would have done the same. 👍
