Found this tool box for sale, listed as a Farmall or International, could it be or just someone claiming because it is red?

Go along with DeltaRed I have never seen one rounded. All the one I have seen have square corners.

The most common tool box I have seen on Farmall H and M tractors were aftermarket and were made by Farm Mech in Parkersburg, Iowa. A lot of the used ones I have seen had an IHC dealership name and contact information along with the IHC Logo decal on them. I guess an advertisement item from the selling dealer. I have several I have purchased when I saw them and got one at last years DuQuoin, Illinois RPRU which still had the Farm Mech raised letter decal label and in very good condition. These tool boxes where made to attach to the frame rails or behind the seat to the top cover and above the PTO shield. They have square corners and like noted by others I have never seen one like the one you have pictured on any IHC tractor or equipment, Hal.

it should have an ih on the lid. it is from a truck. it originally had pot torches and flares in it for roadside emergencies.
Yooper,
Take a picture of the top of it. If it has a stamped IHC on top then maybe it"s a dealer add-on.
I agree with the other guys, everyone I have seen are rectangular. One type of those came off horse-drawn implements, with the bottom often made of wood with a concave shape for fastening onto a pipe-shaped surface.
Yooper, you live in the U.P.? I once saw a group of guys from the U.P. do a song routine at a big farm show near Green Bay and were hilarious....very risque songs and the beer-fueled crowd loved it.

Hal,
I grew up 8 miles from Parkersburg, IA, and I remember the Farmech factory. I had some friends that worked there. That place made a lot of tractor toolboxes in the late 1950s and maybe into the 1960s.
If I was ambidexterous I would give my right arm for a good Farmech toolbox. Keep me in mind as that would be a good fit for my "Grundy Co. H Farmall".

The boxes on the grain binders were rounded, but they also had the logo stamped on the lid.

It's a lunchbox. That was my first thought. The 2nd pic confirms it. See where they took off the handle? Maybe not a lunchbox but a hand box for something.

I have one I bought in Texas at a hill country antique shop. It has the rounded corners and IH stamped on the top. I use it to store my "spark plug hole" air hose.

Well I bid on it and got it, I'll wire brush it, paint it IHC Red and I guess I'll put my spark plug hole air hose in to also. And a sandwhich.

That's a nice one - only the 2nd one I've seen with the label still on the box, Hal.
