What's in the toolbox

[Dieselmudder]

I was doing a little maintenance on the 54 Fordson Major this evening. And decided to clean out the frame mounted tool box, it had accumulated quite a bit of extra over the years. That got me to thinking, all these old tractors have similar boxes, with usually the same type of stuff in them. So I was wondering what's in your tool box, and why?

That brand new rope I bought for my rope-trip plow, and never used because I couldn't find it until a few years later. Don't even need it now.

Right now I've got a pair of pliers, two
adjustable wrenches, a half inch
combination wrench, a couple 3/4 inch
bolts, and miscellaneous lynch pins,
cotter pins, and hairpins. Need to find
an extra hammer to leave in there.

In my 8N there is a Ford plow wrench, couple of bolts, screw driver, pliers, 22 LR ammo in an old Skol can that came with the tractor nearly 30 years ago.

My M-H 50 has a small tool box in the left fender. Nothing in there because the bottom rusted out. Got a pair of pliers and a couple of screw drivers and a small adjustable wrench under the seat cushion.

Most of mine have a couple crescent wrenches, a roll or 2 of electrical tape, some form wire, maybe some lynch pins or nuts and bolts to serve as lynch pins (If I had a dollar for every lynch pin I've lost I could buy the whole family a good supper!) maybe a couple quick links for repairing chains, often a 4 in 1 screw driver, needle nose Vise Grips if I'm lucky, maybe some fuel hose or electrical wire for in the field repair.
