Today we are giving the tractor a major utility upgrade using 50 caliber ammo cans. These aren't just simple bolt-on toolboxes—we’re getting creative with the layout. In this video you’ll see: The Ammo Can Conversion: How we transformed 50 cal cans into rugged, waterproof storage for tools and logging chains. Fender Extensions: Using one set of cans to extend the fender footprint, giving us more "real estate" for gear and safety. Safety First: Mounting and wiring high-visibility strobe lights directly to the new fender extensions to ensure we’re seen when working near the road. The Chain Box: A dedicated, easy-access spot for heavy chains so they aren't rattling around on the floorboards. These DIY tractor mods are budget-friendly, incredibly tough, and make a huge difference in daily productivity. If you’ve been looking for better tractor storage solutions, this is a project you don't want to miss! Drop a comment below: What's your go-to DIY storage hack for your machine?
