l think "l think my tractor is sex-aaa"....What a song.!..lam just ah swinging....Life is good...Or so thay say...Thanks again...!
😁👍👍
Use silicone calking under the ammo can, especially around the hole... That'll quiet any vibrations, too.
I’d recommend putting a thin piece of rubber under the ammo box so the vibration doesn’t scratch up the paint. I think the holes were probably for turn signals or hazard lights. I enjoy the videos.
Good idea. Thanks
or even 2 strips of treated wood, or oil soaked wood or whatever ( so it won't rot), and you'll want to spray paint the hole you drilled in the box so that doesn't rust as well...or coat it grease etc.
@@OutoftheWoods0623 a tractor inter tube would be a good source for the rubber.
Automotive gasket material would be good too.
Johnny G’s DIY My thought also. 👍🏼😊
Nicely done Nathan. The sticker looks good too. Good job on it.
👍
I just can’t get enough! Longer vids please! And I love the stickers that you put on your new toolboxes! You are just ssooo cool!!!
That is a .50 cal. box. Superb for storage. There are larger ammo boxes. I don't remember if they were for the 40mm cannon rounds or for rockets. You could check it out online or go by a military surplus shop if there is one in your area. Love your videos.
Ridgid has a medium and large box that fits there perfectly and can store a whole lot more. And waterproof.
I enjoy watching your videos. I really like the countryside shots you show at the beginning of your videos. I enjoy watching the sawmill operate. Keep up the good work.
Foam weather stripping works well for mounting tool boxes, I used some when I mounted the toolbox in the bed of my truck, as I felt the material supplied was too thin. The roll of the weather stripping is inexpensive too.
Nice! I agree with Johnny G’s DIY. A sheet of solid rubber under each can will protect the paint. I would think 3/32-inch should do the trick. Nice ammo cans, btw. I need a few for what they're intended for - the PewPew life! lol. I thought the trip to the mailbox was about the decals. Those look good on there! Thanks for the video! All the best, Nathan!
Those turned out pretty good
Good to see you putting the stickers on, it's the sort of thing that would make my wife roll her eyes.
🤦♂️👍👍
Very useful to have a little storage like that. Pretty cool look with the decals too. Nice job man!
Those Mahindra decals are a really nice touch.I can tell you like for things to be done to perfection.
Its good to see you are thinking about your needs before you need something. I'm like that as well. Have a wonderful day.
The ammo boxes seemed to work great! If they do develop a vibration problem just take 'em off and put some big gobs of silicone caulk on the bottom and let them set over night then put 'em back on. A side note, my father died in 1989 and as a last request he wanted to be cremated, which we did. But having already owned burial plots we decided to bury the cremains. He had been a U.S. Marine during WWII and we thought it fitting to put his ashes in a .50 caliber ammo box and then buried the entire thing.
Ok, voice of experience here. 1st time viewer but will most likely subscribe. Now on to this voice of experience... Those cans look really sharp on your tractor. I put two of them on my old Ford about a year ago. Now, with my old Ford it didn't matter much but you remember all that vibration you spoke of in your tractor? Say goodbye to that pretty red pair job on your fenders..
Save the day.. Het some rubber feet and attach them to the bottom of the cans. You only need small ones to dicipate the vibration that's going to otherwise sand all the paint off.
Also, 4-6 little rubber feet won't hold water like a full rubber mat would creating rust..
Good luck with whatever you do.

done,
Nice job! And good choice on ammo boxes. My old Massey Ferguson 165 has a tool box with holes and a lid that has gaps even though it fits properly. Well, wasps get in. And that gets to be a problem.
I hear that. 👍
When the holes lined up, BINGO popped into my head!---Two thumbs up for the musical variety!---I wonder if anyone else caught that little chuckle! (What fun!)
They look like they were made with the tractor....Thise stickers really top them off...Looks good😋
sure does, appreciate you watching,
great idea. If you want to make sure it doesn't rattle you can put some of the foam weather stripping for doors around the parameter on the bottom and then bolt it down and should not rattle.
A small section of rubber matting under each will prevent any wearing on the fender paint, I bet...
Nice job Nathan. I have two green ones for all the odd screw etc that get left over or from things that have been taken apart. Love the sticker, makes it look like they have been there since new! Take care.Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Lol, I'm watching UK Sports...Parliament Live. 😁 Crazy couple of days!
The hole in the fender is for auxiliary lights. And you really need a rubber pad under the box or glue hose washers under the corners and at the bolt.
Perhaps sandwich a rubber pad between the fender and ammo box. A silicone sil pad normally used as a release medium for baking should do nicely. If not for noise mitigation, which I think it would help with, I’d be more concerned about keeping moisture from working it’s way between.
Agree with other comments - Put some sort of padding under the boxes to 1) save the Paint and 2) Prevent vibration noise. (Sooner or later that thing will work loose just enough to become a very annoying buzzing vibration AND then chew up the paint as it vibrates.)
Another great video! And I was thinking, if you get some of those cabinet bumpers you stick on the inside of the door so it doesn't slam, you could put one one each corner and it would prevent water from getting underneath. And it would help with any vibration as well. But those lock nuts do a great job too. They look great and with the decal like they were made for the tractor! Great idea and Thanks Much Nathan!

I really like your channel. Thank you.
I suggest you make a rubber gasket, old inner tube or sheet rubber. No matter how tight you make it that box will rub through the paint on that fender.
Greetings from Las Vegas. I know it's probably too late, but I would have put a gasket or some kind of waterproof strip under the ammo boxes to keep them from chaffing on the paint of the fenders.
I guess I should have read the other comments before making my own. Seems quite a few people had already suggested doing the same thing.
I felt like i was drivin' the tractor! awesome
trying out some new equipment,
You could put a few beads of silicone under the boxes to help hold them steady if they ever start to work loose.
Good ideal on converting the ammo Box to a tool box and it looks good where you put it on your tractor and should make you a handy edition to your tractor.
As if you need ANOTHER suggestion... Two things: 1) Run the bolt UP, so only the head is toward the tire. 2) Place a sheet of rubber between the box and fender. The vibration between the two will ruin the paint on the fender in no time.
Tubes from a bicycle are a good thing to use as a spacer between metal that is painted or vibration prone. Army Surplus may have some .50 caliber ammo boxes or 30mm boxes. Check out Radford Powder Plant sometimes they auction off tools storage items.
If you want a bigger ammo box for more storage they have boxes for 50 caliber
Decals. Nice touch
Gadgets make things so much easier thru organized chaos! Hee, hee. Good thinking there and I agree with the Sub below, thin rubber strip. Maybe inner tube. Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Nice job Nathan. Just think, next year they may be standard equipment on the tractors, lol. Have a good sawing day. 👍👍👍👍👍
I am really surprised that you didn’t add a couple layers of something like inner tube under the boxes, not only to prevent any vibration, but also to make sure not to trap any moisture, and make a rust barrier ! 👍
Couple quick pointers or ideas if you will your tractor so you do what you think is best but go buy yourself some weatherstripping from Walmart or wherever and just attach it to the toolbox on the bottom so that it will not rub against the fender and scratch the fender and you'll be doing a hundred times better next turn your bolt upside down that way it has exact same clearance at all times between your Fender and your tire and having a bolt stick up a little bit through the bottom of the toolbox is going to be okay specially if you're putting chains in there it's not going to hurt it and you could easily measure how much would you really need at that point so you can get something longer than an inch and a half whatever it is the final thing is I go get a piece of steel or something like that drill hole in it and put it on the inside of your toolbox so it would sandwich between the fender and the toolbox itself as a big washer more or less and that way you don't have one tiny little bolt and washer trying to wear a hole through the bottom of that toolbox you got a big plate in there and it's less likely to wear a hole and worry a hole in your toolbox or your fender
Might want to put some sheet rubber between the box and the fender. It will keep the box from rubbing the paint off the fender.
a strip of Butyl caulk around the outside bottom, would deal with Vibration and water intrusion under and scratching paint (under box at contact points, from the vibes) said surface will be dry and clean for decades
just my thoughts
ty good job

Just like my Grandpa back in the day. He would use his walker to get to his Ford tractor and drive it down the lane to get the mail.
Not a bad way to fetch the mail 👍
One of the best reasons to have a tractor; there are lots of them.
Nice customization. Here in hot Arizona, I would be tempted to make one of the ammo boxes into a cooler. Access to cold drinking water is a constant concern here, but maybe not so much in your neck of the woods.
Thanks for sharing.
That was a great idea for your tractor!
The existing holes in the fenders are for red and amber flashing lights, for use on the road.
You might want to try some foam tape on the bottom of the box so your fender won't get scratched and should dampen the vibration as well.
Awesome idea!
You could get a piece of rubber to put under the box to stop any noise and keep it from scratching the paint.
Get an old mud flap cut to the size of the can bottom to use as a gasket between the can and fender
Use silicone calking under the ammo can, especially around the hole...
Maybe add some rubber under the boxes. I bet nobody has thought of that (as I scroll through a couple dozen suggestions lol).
Good to see you keep the hearing protectors on the lever. Nice & close when driving the tractor for UA-cams safe practices policies ;-)
Cheers my friend. Keep up the good work & videos!!!
Nice video 👍
Nathan I have just what you need. its a ammo can from a navy huey chopper that had a Vulcan mini gun attached to it. the can is roughly 20in tall by about 24 in long by about 12in wide. these measurements are only guesses due to the fact that when my son split for virginia he took all my tools with him including my tape measure. imagine that ammo box you have on steroids n covering your entire tractor's fender. now, im 6'4 n when standing next to the box it almost comes up to my knees. I found it in an antique shop down in Wharton texas n I paid 19.00 for it. check online n you just might be able to find a pair of em.
Nice 👍👍
Mahindra tractor for fetching the mail. That works!
😁👍
Looking good! Now you just need a fender mount radio so everybody in the neighboring counties can hear your music except you 🤣
haha on order,
If I was the director of marketing for Mahindra, I would buy thousands of those ammo boxes, have some guy in my manufacturing plant drill a hole in each one, slap a label on it like you did, include the mounting hardware, then charge $50 for each one as a necessary option (I know, a contradiction in terms) for every tractor out there. I love DIY solutions, and farmers / woodworkers seem to have the best ones.
Good idea 👍👍
Some thick double stick tape would keep it from scratching the fender and would stop any vibration. I have seen it in thicker pieces, almost like a thin rubber that would work.
👍👍
That intro music was so relaxing I fell asleep. What happen with the rest of the video? 😂👍. Great video thanks for the share.
Pretty cool stuff goin on there Nathan...i see you like bling too...😎
Nathan, You know that Miranda is going to put a patent on your idea, since you put the decals on it, it looks like OEM accessories....
To avoid Vibration put a piece of rubber onder, that will also keep from rusting and scraching the paint !!!
The 20mm ammo cans are three times the size but that might be too big . Cut the handles off. That would quiet them down a little .
hello,
do you cut all that grass ?
Not reading 97 comments. But I bet those holes are for mounting lights. I just mounted a much larger ammo can to a buddy's trailer to hold a couple jack stands and ratchet straps.
Those holes in the fenders are probably for hazard/road lights.
if you are wanting to look for bigger ammo cans you can look for 40MM Ammo cans they are a lot bigger.
Large flat washer inside the can and under the fender.
Two holes is a mount, one hole is a pivot.
YOU MAY BE ABLE TO USE FLEXSEAL UNDER AND INSIDE BOX TO AVOID ABRASION AND NOISE
If you do not want any vibration at all then put rubber pieces on all four corners of the bottom ammo box. They are at the local big box store for picture frames or putting glass on coffee table... Then tighten down the box.... why not put the bolt upside down with the head under the fender and the nut in the box... the chain is not going to be harmed by the nut or the end of the bolt... neither are the tools... wrenches, hammer, etc.... Could bolt down one box and weld ( bolt) others side by side with the rubber pieces on the bottom... second box welded just about a sixteenth of inch un-level to the first ...pushing up the first box a little off the fender..... Oh well just food for thought!!!!!!!!!!
I'd have held out for some larger boxes and put at least one of these in the place of the original toolbox....it actually could be a make-up (manicure bag) box.
So the metal box doesn't start scratching the fender which will lead to rusting your fender, why not add four pieces of rubber placed at the corners. This would prevent the box from damaging the fender and allow water to escape from under the box.
Already recommended thanks 👍👍
Hey, what was in the mailbox?!
Next video. Ran out of time editing
I would put a tire inner tube under tool box
Hi everyone 👋🙂👍
👍
would put 1 1/4 inches, wheels do have a bit of absorbing, would of been plenty
Use some lock-tight.
When you're really country you drive the tractor to the mailbox... Check

Anyone with the EXTREME lack of anything mechanical that would need a damn video of how to do this should not be allowed to own a tractor. Bolt a box to a fender....C'mon!
Sounds like you learned something. Your welcome
Hear me out... Crossover with Demolition Ranch... Mount a turret to the front of the Mahindra. Feed turret directly from the ammo boxes. The worlds first "Assault Mahindra." Applications: limitless.
Sorry, Mahindra is a lower quality tractor, not made in the U.S. Parts are sent from India to be assembled in the U.S. Stick with John Deere or others. You are exporting your money outside the United States.
great another comment from someone who hasn't done their research, John Deere uses mostly Yanmar engines now in almost all machines, Yanmar engines are made in Japan and shipped over and dropped in the tractors here in the US like Mahindra does, they also buy their transmissions from a plant in France. My buddy owns a dealership here and most parts on their tractors are imported like others. next time do your research before commenting, Also head to your closet and check the tags on your clothing, do any of them say made in other countries? If so you are a hypocrite, and I bet they do.
@@OutoftheWoods0623 I realize that. John Deere has plants in Japan, Germany and the US. Small tractors are made in Japan and the medium sized tractors are made in Germany and the large tractors are made in the US. I guess I'm splitting hairs. Money goes to labor or Management.
My clothes do say made in another country. But, I never touched anything that was made in a foreign country once, all our shirts were made in Oregon or North Carolina. We only had Lee's and Levi's. Everything we had was American made.
But we have screwed ourselves. I'm sorry for bringing this up. But..... I've had very good luck with JD products.
I do like your videos.
Hi Nathan: I see where a number of comments suggested using rubber, or equal, under the ammo cans. Post the L x W of the bottom of the cans and I'll mail you a couple of precut 1/8" thick rubber sheets that you can glue to the underside of each can.
