Two Cylinder Tool Boxes

[RPCW]

Does anyone know a source to get descriptions (pictures, hole patterns, etc) of the Two Cylinder A & B tool boxes. The parts lists usually show one box but may have several parts numbers, and do not distinguish. The book "Unstyled JD A" does an excellent job on the unstyled "A's" but where can one find this information on the other A's and B's?

the ones that mount on the left or right look the same when you first look at them for the late 40 ones. my 48 b is mounted on the right side, under the gen. i have several jd wrenches, a jd grease gun and a snuff can in mine. for those who don't know what the snuff can is for its and economizer valve. seems like the old timers didn't like to waste gas and so when theycut the fuel off to the tracto hey would open up the snuff can under the carb and drain as much gas out that way as they could and then pour it back in the tank. honest injun!

Sharps carry new tool boxes for both styled and unstyled. Also Bob Dillner in Pa. I have bought both and they are fine.

Doug,
Thanks for the response! I've been to both these sites. Sharps lists most of the boxes but it is difficult to get the hole patterns and dimensions from the pictures. Dillners shows some boxes in a pile but don't specify numbers. The reason I asked is because I don't feel right bothering either with questions/requests if I don't intend to buy! I was given 19 JD tool boxes (no kidding) and am trying to sort them out.

I used a Campbells soup can for that same reason. When not in use I turned it upside down in the tool box. I also used it to cover the exhaust (on a 41 "B").
