2 Pcs 783-08567-0637 & 1 Pcs 683-04448-0637 Battery Bracket Powder Kit (Black) Compatible with CUB Cadet MTD Murray Troy-Bilt LT 775S 795S & XT1 XT2 GX54 ST54 LX54 Series Lawn Tractors

What It Is

This is a three-piece powder-coated steel battery bracket kit designed to secure and hold the battery in place on select Cub Cadet, MTD, Murray, and Troy-Bilt lawn tractors. It replaces rusted or broken OEM brackets for models like the LT 775S, 795S, XT1, XT2, GX54, ST54, and LX54 series.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your tractor’s model and series number (found on the frame or under the seat). This kit is explicitly listed for Cub Cadet XT1, XT2, GX54, ST54, LX54, and LT 775S/795S, plus equivalent MTD, Murray, and Troy-Bilt models. It is not a universal fit—check that your existing battery tray dimensions match the bracket’s hole spacing (roughly 7–8 inches between mounting slots). If your tractor uses a different battery size (e.g., U1 vs. group 22NF), the bracket width may not align. This is an aftermarket kit, not OEM Cub Cadet, so verify the part numbers (783-08567-0637 and 683-04448-0637) match your original bracket’s shape.

Key Things to Know

• Material & finish: Powder-coated black steel resists rust better than bare metal, but check for any sharp edges or burrs before installation.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—requires only basic hand tools (wrench/socket set). Remove old bracket, bolt new one onto the battery tray, and secure the hold-down rod.
• Common gotcha: The kit includes two side brackets and one front bracket, but not the battery hold-down rod or J-bolts. You may need to reuse those from your old setup or buy separately.
• Fitment nuance: Some users report that the powder coating can be slightly thick, making bolt holes tight. Run a tap or file through them if needed.

Should You Buy It

If your current battery bracket is rusted, bent, or missing, and you own one of the listed Cub Cadet, MTD, Murray, or Troy-Bilt series, this $25.99 kit is a cost-effective fix. It won’t win any awards for precision, but it’s functional and straightforward to install. Not for you if you need a full battery tray or hold-down rod included.
