My 185s had a very ugly rack on the back when I first got it and I quickly removed it. It had a small toolbox welded on to it. Just recently I removed the toolbox from the rack to fix it up and put it on 185s. Problem is I cant figure out where it should go. Did it originally come with one? Thanks.

There is a tool kit on the online parts schematics, but no tool box. Neither of the 185s trikes I had in the past had a tool box

I don't know if its the same or not, but on my dads 200s the tools went under the seat. In the area with the yellow square, they were held down with a rubber strap.

Very nice 200s. I will get a pic of the toolbox tomorrow, maybe yall can tell me what it came off off. I still plan on mounting it on the 185s somewhere where its hard to see.

Oh yeah MrPretty I think you're right. It was a round tube extending down from the frame under the seat. I forgot because I never had anything in there

Here it is. Any ideas if it even came from an ATC? Regardless I'm gonna find a place to mount it and have a spark plug wrench and extra plug in it, lol.

Wow kinda huge???

Yea but there was a little spot under seat to fit sum wrenches or whatever not much space at all..

I have my Regular tools in there like for my chain tensioner and stuff. Carb etc.. Strap it down with a bunjee cord or sumthing

I guess the pics made it look bigger than it is, its not very big. Spark plug wrench, plug, and maybe a pair of pliers is about all it will hold. I'm gonna mount it on the back of the frame somewhere high so its not visible.
