F20 battery box-Need advice

Anonymous-0 · May 17, 2009

Have an F20 with electric start. Have an M battery box with three large holes in the bottom. Box will fit on frame rail on right side. What's the best way to mount the box to the frame. Would like a nice neat installation as this is a resto project. Thanks for help.

I would bend a couple strap irons in an L shape to support the bottom of the box and use U bolts to fasten to the frame

what we have on ours is a rectancular piece welded togather out of some 3/4 angle on the side middle is a small piece of angel with a hole that I used to bolt it to the frame rails. I have two piece comeing up from that bracket that are 1/4 x 3/4 they go up past the hight of the battery on top the battery I have a 2 x 2 on end I used a lag bolt though a hole in the 1/4 x 3/4 Im sure this was made at some point for this tractor but it has been a round long then I have and loonks really nice and neat.

I bolted 2 "Cable gards" that protect the automatic brake cables to the frame and bolted a M battery box to them. I located it on the driver's right hand side ahead of the brakes. I used a solenoid bolted to the box that is controlled by a key switch for safety - kids and etc.

An H battery box can sit on top the frame rail, run two long bolts through each rail and put a bracket with two holes underneath and bolt it down. Works good.
