One thing I have not done on this tractor that I want to is add a chain box. I have one on my JD5083 tractor, but have not got around to making one for my small JD3038.
I can't get along without a 5/16 grade 70 chain on a utility tractor. There is always something to lift or pull. So if it is not with me it is a trip back to the shed. I hate that. Consequently right now I have a smaller, lighter chain that resides behind my left foot on the floor board. But I do not like it there.
My intention is to build a small expanded metal chain box just large enough to hold a 20' 5/16 chain. I think I can mount it on the loader frame right below the tool box pictured above. On my 5083 tractor I have not only a chain box but also a shovel holder so I always have a shovel and chain with me. I find that very handy to have on a utility tractor with a loader.
Need to get it done this year! I ain't gettin no younger.
