Tim walks through his workaround step by step, drilling one extra hole in the mount bracket, repositioning the box forward, and hardware choices, while admitting some uncertainty remains. Most useful for 1025R backhoe owners dealing with the same missing-bracket mystery.

Tim mounted his toolbox by reusing a bent bracket on the front side of the ROPS post, drilling one extra hole to fit, then moving the toolbox forward and drilling another hole in it to clear the obstruction.
Tim found his machine was missing the brackets that should lift the lights higher for backhoe clearance. Instead of ordering them, he decided he did not want the lights raised and came up with a different toolbox mounting solution.
No. He drilled one extra hole in the mount bracket itself and another in the toolbox, but did not drill any new holes in the ROPS.
