A Little Set I Put Together

[Conductor562]

I've been putting together a little set to travel with my Kubota. Nothing spectacular or awe inspiring, just a basic collection of stuff to facilitate field adjustments and repairs of the tractor and implements.

I went through the tractor and all the accessories and determined what all sized I needed, what required a wrench, what required a socket, and what required both. The tractor was actually really simple. 2 sockets and 3 wrenches pretty much covered everything from tire changes and steering adjustments, to the mower deck and hitch. Kudos to Kubota for simicity.

The implements required a few more sizes just about everything on the tiller needs a wrench and socket simultaneously.

I bought the box, ratchet, extension, and the 3 largest wrenches. Everything else was sourced from existing stock. I certainly had enough stuff to build the whole set without buying anything, but I'd have had to bust up sets to do it and didn't want to go that route. I chose USA Craftsman for most items. It's affordable and makes a fine "field grade" set.

Not pictured is a ball pein hammer, a tire plug set, and an assortment pins and such. Everything is USA made with the exception of the box (Mexico ).

That's the way to do it Conducter! Think ahead so you have the tools you need to get the repair done if needed. I do a similar thing with certain trades. I have a plumbing box, electrical box and automotive trouble shooting box. I also setup a range bag for any firearms repairs I may need to do while out shooting.

Nice set up Conductor

My tools are all organized by project /application

For work they are set up in tool boxes for different products I install. ( shutters, drapes , blinds, etc)

In my shop there are totes or toolboxes for plumbing, electrical, etc.

Thanks guys. With the socket I went 6 pt for SAE and 12 pt. for metric to help with identification. I guess maybe that's a little excessive, but what the hell.

Looks good, Mr. C!

I guess that's a sign of how pervasive the PRC-made lobster claw wrenches have become around here, but the open ends on the wrenches look absolutely svelt!

The lobster claws are being phased out actually. The new wrenches are still PRC made, but they do have a normal open end like the USA versions pictured.
