I am not much of a fabricator, but have not been able to locate the top hold down for the battery. Prob is that the threaded hold down bolts are on the corners. i am looking at getting one for another tractor and cut and paste the eyelets to fit. Anyone know of a source for the AC ones? |

| Or you can go old school baler twine. Must be more then one battery held down with baler twine. |

think I would prefer a bungee cord.  I am gonna give the recommended guy a try and then go to fabricating if necessary Also I was thinking maybe I could slip a flat rock outta the crick on top of it.  |

Those bungee cords only last a little less then a year holding your battery in place then they break in the middle and you think it is still hooked as both ends are still in place. In a d17 that can result in your battery bouncing into the center hood support and making a scare the crap out of you light show in the middle of the field. I might have made that mistake before.... |
