Title: Vintage Farm All Tractor Metal Tool Box?
Post by: valhom on August 03, 2016, 08:34:32 PM
I told it was a farm all tractor tool box. Is that what it is? I couldn't find any markings on it indicating a maker/brand. It measures approx. 18" long & 6" tall. Can you tell the age of this by looking at these pics of it? Possible worth? Thank you! :)

Here is a picture of an International Harvester ”Farmall B” tractor.

Now the owner of a “Farmall” tractor might also have been the owner of your pictured “tool box” but I doubt that the IH Corporation was giving out “free” toolboxes with every tractor they sold. (A free toolbox would infer the tractor was not reliable)

But I could be wrong about that.

Not exactly Cogar !!  We have three  vintage Farmall Cubs and I believe they were offered as an option !!  Remember the Farm All tractors also pulled equipment and  even now with ours we are never without tool basics when in the garden !!
  How does it mount to the tractor ??  There should be brackets for a small bolt !!

"Not exactly" is right, ...... according to this E-Bay ad.

HA,  ::) ::) I'll blame my mistaken guess on the "carrying" handle of the posted toolbox.

And ps, some tractors had a "built in" toolbox in the "runningboard", like this "Golden Jubilee".

That tool box may have been for another McCormick/IH product but I do not think it was for a Farm All !!
