122 Battery Strap from Scrap
Thank you to the member who pointed me in the right direction for battery installation. Now that I had the correct orientation, I needed a tie down. PO had a bungee cord. My son and I are having a blast just picking little projects to slowly bring her back to life. We got some good use out of it today pulling the trailer around cleaning the neighbors sidewalks. Some might frown on this, but the clutch switch was bypassed when we got it. For now I am leaving it alone. Calvin can start it in 1st gear at idle (slooowww) and follow me around, and simply shut it off when he gets where I need the dump cart. He can't quite reach the pedals
 ... Here are some pictures of the homemade battery strap. I cut it out of a piece of 2x2 alum. extrusion. Bolts were made from some 1/4-20 all-thread.

Good for you. I have made a few battery straps or brackets myself. Just as good as the OEM or even better. I not worried about being PC.

That looks good
 Now it has the correct ( factory ) orientation. On my manual lift 125 ( described that way since I have hydraulic lift 125 also ), the battery wing nuts lept loosening up. I went to the local hardware store and picked up two nylon 1/4-20 wingnuts. Now they stay tight.

I like it made from aluminum, no rust that way. I'm a big fan of all of your other machinist work, keep those posts coming!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
