Tool box contents

[Jamesgang]

I'm new to the forum and new to owning a tractor. Should be getting a new L5460 by the end of the week. I'm a carpenter by trade and know the value of having the right tools handy. Apparently Kubota does not put a toolbox in the new tractors. I intend to remedy that myself, but also know that space is limited. So I would like to get a few suggestions on what would be the tools would be of the most value to keep on the tractor?

A length of chain with clevis hooks can be handy.

Actually I wanna see pics of how you got the millermatic welder in it

 

[ctmike]

That's what the chain's for!

Don't know why I didn't think of a chain.
I always have a length of chain on the tractor, it is just part of it. I must have used it 8 - 10 times today alone.

Gloves
Rags
Ear plugs
If you work away from home might think about some ass wipe, you never know!

What size bottle did the Millermatic have?

 

[Tooljunkie]

Cant use mig outside, thats why theres flux core wire- eliminating the need for a bottle.
Always keep a few nuts/ bolts. Electrical tape.

Crystal lake has a pretty comprehensive list there, My tractor is never too far from home so my list is fairly short.

Channel Locks
Adjustable wrench
Extra clevis
Extra clevis pins.

 

[Daren Todd]

Hammer hooked to a clasp on the side of the fender
Extra bolts
Extra Pins
Mixed set of small wrenchs
Screw driver

Must haves cup holder within reach

Wow! it never accursed to me how much of what people have posted/suggested that I have on my tractor and never think about. I is just there.
TP is a must!!! At least for me. Have a # of gastrointestinal issues.

Keep in mind that everything is metric.

If you run out of room you might consider one of these. I'm probably going to buy another one it's been so handy.
