storage ideas
I have been using a medium sized rubber maid box for my chain saw box. The chain saw motor fits nicely in the box and I just cut a slot in one end for the bar and chain to go though with chain cover. I also have some 3 lite olive cans to make compartments in the rubber maid box. I just tie them in with cable ties. In one I have first aid stuff, in the other I keep winch cable stuff - pulley, tree straps etc. There is also is also room for a liter of chain saw gas, bar oil, and a chain saw sharpening kit, spark plug etc. I also have got an axe and folding shovel, goggles, gloves, hearing protection, insurance papers etc. To hold the box on to the quad rack, I cut a 1/2 inch plywood to fit one of the holes in the rack and screwed it to the bottom of the rubber maid box where I want the box to sit on the rack. Then I use one short ratchet strap to hold the lid in place. It's easy to get into and get stuff out.
The other box that I use is an old plastic 5 gallon gas can with the top cut off. I call this one the lunch box. I did the same mounting with the plywood screwed to the bottom, as well as using a couple of bungee cords run though a couple on holes on each end, that hook on to the rack. I also installed a some shock cord loops to hold water bottles or hot drink containers inside the box. The shock cord is run though some small holes drilled in the end of the gas can where I wanted to store the bottles. The gas can is open on top so it is easy to get lunch, goggles, maps, gloves, small camera, gps unit, in and out. So far i have never lost anything from it. In both boxes I have drilled a couple of holes in bottom to act as drainage holes if it happens to get any water in there. The boxes are easy to get off and on the quad rack, so i can put them in my truck or in my storage shed when not needed, or I what them in a safer location than on the quad. They also do not have any hard corners to catch stuff on or bang me up like an ammo can or tool box would.
Hope this is helpful. Tom.
