Looks great buddy. That Click Bond system is the best there is. Yes you had a little bit of trouble but we all do modding these things but it's a well worth while job. No more running looking for chains. Thumbs up sir.
Thanks Paul! ...yeah I could have done a retake but decided not to... keeping it real. Really was stupid on my part as I knew they might dislodge from my template going in. And hey I don't profess to be a pro. Normally I make a template that frames the base and place the fixtures in the corner. I tried to get cute and use the same drilling template for the CB install. Problem was that the studs didn't protrude far enough from the top of the fixtures! Live and learn.
Where to hang chains on a new tractor is a problem because of damage to the paint, otherwise on older models, wrapping them around the ROPS or whatever usually works well enough. Nice mounting application.
Just found your channel . Great idea on using click bond for your chain box and mirrors . I did hear Paul Short mention click bond at one time but this is the first time watching someone go through the entire process of using it . No need for editing when miscalculations are made . This way we can see the mistakes and learn how not to make them . Thanks for a couple of great videos . I have subscribed . Your yard has a beautiful view . Your one lucky man .
Thank you for the nice words, Henry! Yeah, I knew I was pushing it with my template as the studs didn't stick out far enough but thought I would give it a try. I thought also to redo the video but then thought, what the heck... show the goof too.
SOLD! I spent the entire day working with chains and straps under my feet. This is the solution for so many projects. I feel like I just got struck by lightening.
GREAT IDEA!! I wonder if you made a template for those holes out of a piece of metal or tin foil and used it as a stencil to spray some Aircraft Remover onto where you need the paint to go away, if that would produce a less nerve-wracking paint removal.
Now I know what I can do with my other ammo box. I installed one on my ROPS already but really like what you did here. Nice work, any particular reason you installed on the right side vs left. Any interference with hooking up or disconnecting the hydraulic lines? Thanks for the video! Great idea!
Sorry for such a late reply... I really don't do many videos. And I'm not good at checking and responding. I ended up putting one on both sides. No issues with hydraulic connections or accessing zerks. Again so sorry for missing you until now.
A properly prepared surface and adhesive selection will mean the bond will last a lifetime. By bonding directly to fresh bright steel, a chemical/molecular bond is formed thus preventing corrosion to invade the joint. the fact that no hole is drilled, a starting place for a crack is eliminated. So, it's better than drilling and welding in this regard. This technology has been around for 30+ years and most things designed in the last 10years and flying today use Click Bond parts believe it or not!
True. I would have drilled a single hole for the bottom and one for each top corner. Drill and bolt the box using the bottom hole. Run the top bolts from inside the FEL out and once you have it where you want it give the inside of the box a tap with a hammer over both top points. Rotate it while still loosely attached at the bottom and drill the marks left from the "studs". Run the top bolts out and reinstall from inside the box and tighten everything. No templates or grinding needed, faster, and 3 small holes aren't going to make a difference in a component that large
Great video. Very informative and instructional. You have me sold on the Click bond. What size and length of chain did you fit in the ammo can? Thanks for the great video. Gary Fox ,Iowa
I recall the studs are 3/8in diameter by 1.5in length. CS200-3816-24CRMP I think is the part number if you are looking. Try www.ElectricalHub.com for hardware.
Absolutely... box on both sides now! I love them. One side for chains, the other for clippers, wrenches, pins, duct tape, etc. The key is to use a very good structural adhesive and bond to 'bright' metal.

Nice job! Thank you for introducing me to Click Bond, that's a great solution for many projects.

I've never even heard of those bonded studs. Very cool upgrade for any tractor
SOLD! I spent the entire day working with chains and straps under my feet. This is the solution for so many projects. I feel like I just got struck by lightening.
Ha ha... late in replying. I'm not big TH-camr. Hope you tried it and liked it.
Nice addition. Nice light set up too. Good job bud.
Rick Perkins thanks for the nice comments.
CLAMP! Great job! I had forgot about click bond, the military had another name for it, BUT, that stuff works!
i guess I'm kinda off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Decker Khari lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Wallace Lawrence definitely, I have been watching on FlixZone for since march myself =)
@Wallace Lawrence Thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it !
@Decker Khari happy to help :D
Good design and exicution, the adhesive bolt mounts are a great solution.
When those things flopped out as he was applying to tractor....... that’s the kind of shit that happens to me every day of my life 😩
I was going to edit out the screwup but decided to keep it real.
GREAT IDEA!! I wonder if you made a template for those holes out of a piece of metal or tin foil and used it as a stencil to spray some Aircraft Remover onto where you need the paint to go away, if that would produce a less nerve-wracking paint removal.
Yeah, probably a better idea. I didn't give that a thought. Actually I was surprised the OEM paint was as tough as it was.
Very nice work and looks GREAT also!
Nice job, I need to do that to my BX24
Awesome!!will be doing this myself soon
Good design...Great installation!
Thank you!
You can never have too many storage boxes on a tractor and the Kubota factory box is not big enough for much more than a few wrenches at best.
You are right about storage space... I have two ammo boxes and the Kubota little plastic box which is sort of a joke. But I use them all.
Would get in the way of coupling and uncoupling of hydraulic line, but a good system.
Looks real nice man good job
Nice addition!👍
I would have welded a hook so it would double as a tractor weight!
Look's nice, i hope the fel stay's on the tractor...
Thank you. Yep... FEL never comes off.
OK than it's no problem.... I take the fel off whenever i'm mowing..... less weight on the front axle...
Eric Jansen I don't mow with my BX. Have a Kubota zero turn that I absolutely love for that!
I'm just wandering why you didn't drill and tap the holes?
Sure you can do that... I just prefer not drilling or welding on my tractor. To each their own!
Now I know what I can do with my other ammo box. I installed one on my ROPS already but really like what you did here. Nice work, any particular reason you installed on the right side vs left. Any interference with hooking up or disconnecting the hydraulic lines? Thanks for the video! Great idea!

How is, or did the bond hold up for your mounting studs?
Good invention, I will have to do that for my Kubota
Go for it... I'm sure you will love it. I put one one the other side because I liked it so much.
I too have a chain that is a problem hauling it around, so your ammo box is perfect idea thanks.
I'm wondering how durable is the Click Bond Stud, do they give way after time, vibration, weight, etc., has stressed them?

Can't seem to find an online seller for Click Bond, any suggestions?

I know this a pretty old post, how have the click bond studs held? Great video!
Great! No failures and plenty of bumps and abuse.
a Dremel would give you more control.
I think it would be easier to drill and tap the holes
Easier... I doubt it. If you don't mind putting holes in structural members, sure that is an option too.
True. I would have drilled a single hole for the bottom and one for each top corner. Drill and bolt the box using the bottom hole. Run the top bolts from inside the FEL out and once you have it where you want it give the inside of the box a tap with a hammer over both top points. Rotate it while still loosely attached at the bottom and drill the marks left from the "studs". Run the top bolts out and reinstall from inside the box and tighten everything.

Are the ammo boxes water proof to prevent your chain or tools from getting soaked?
Yes, the lid has a gasket and tight fitting 'buckle'. However I did drill holes in the bottom four corners to allow a wet chain to drain.
you should get a carry-all
Where did you get the fixtcures that you took off the fasteners after it had set up? and what are they named. Thanks Wally
Each stud comes with a fixture. They are called Click Bond studs. You can purchase them on line at the Electricalhub.com
Nice to not have to drill .
Nice job, but I’m not familiar with the ‘click bond’ system and where to purchase ?
Thank you for the video.
Thank you. Try electricalhub.com.
You are welcome. Try www.electricalhub.com
Great video. Very informative and instructional. You have me sold on the Click bond. What size and length of chain did you fit in the ammo can? Thanks for the great video. Gary Fox ,Iowa
Barb Fox DVM not sure but I will check. Want to say 20ft 5/16. Sorry I don’t monitor this.
where can I get them click bond things they r asome thanks
robert byers www.electricalhub.com
What size quick bond bolts did you use?
I recall the studs are 3/8in diameter by 1.5in length. CS200-3816-24CRMP I think is the part number if you are looking. Try www.ElectricalHub.com for hardware.
Why is everyone so afraid of welding a bracket to that giant chunk of steel?
What if you don't have a welder?
liked it
So it's been almost a year. Is the box still holding up??
Absolutely... box on both sides now! I love them. One side for chains, the other for clippers, wrenches, pins, duct tape, etc. The key is to use a very good structural adhesive and bond to 'bright' metal.
So where did you get the click bond parts? Did you find them locally or have to order them directly from the website?
Go to Electricalhub.com. They stock Click Bond parts.
cool. Thanks much
What he said!?! Been over 4years. Just saw this video and I too want to add a box for chain and one for tools, pins, hammer, etc....
