1715 (or any of the 1520 series) battery hold down

[Kosmo]

Hi all,

Can any of you guys with this series tractor, tell me how to restrain my battery in my 1715. I never looked close at it when I got the tractor years ago and I now realize my battery is just sitting loose in the tray in front of the radiator. This is not good. Is there a battery hold down that I'm missing and/or does anyone know what it looks like or can tell me the best way to rig one up so this thing is not sitting there loose. I went to look on the NH parts page and can't seem to figure out from the diagram how the hold down works. Surprised the battery has not fell back into the radiator after all these years. A picture of yours would be great and thanks for any ideas!

I use a generic rubber hold-down strap with metal end hooks extending from each side of battery pan over the top of battery. Need to measure the length and buy slightly smaller length strap to keep tension on battery.
