What It Is

This is a replacement battery bracket set designed to secure a standard lawn tractor battery in place on older John Deere models. It’s 10 inches long and intended for machines needing a simple, no-frills hold-down solution when the original bracket rusts out or breaks.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact Models: Fits John Deere 140, 200, 300, 312, 314, 316, 317, 318, 322, 330, 332, 400, and 420. This covers many vintage garden tractors from the 1970s–1990s.
• Measurement Check: The bracket is 10 inches long. Measure your existing bracket or the battery tray length before buying—some Deere models use a shorter (8”) or longer (12”) bracket. If your battery is a standard Group U1 (typically 7.7” x 5.1”), this should work.
• OEM vs Aftermarket: This is a non-OEM part. It may be slightly thinner gauge steel than original Deere brackets. It fits the same bolt holes and uses the same J-bolts as the factory setup.
• What to Verify: Ensure your tractor’s battery tray has two threaded holes or slots for J-bolts (usually 7–8 inches apart). Also confirm you have the J-bolts and wing nuts—some sellers include them, but this listing may not state that clearly.

Key Things to Know

• Installation Difficulty: Easy—30 minutes with basic hand tools. You’ll need a 10mm or 1/2” socket for the J-bolts, and possibly a drill if your tray holes are stripped.
• Quality Concerns: The 3.6-star rating and only 6 reviews suggest inconsistent fit or finish. A few buyers report the bracket is slightly too narrow or the coating chips quickly. Expect functional but not premium build.
• Common Gotcha: If your tractor uses a side-terminal battery, the bracket’s 10-inch length may interfere with cable routing. Test-fit before tightening.
• Alternative Check: For $19.99, it’s cheap but not the only option. OEM brackets (Deere part #MIA10999 or similar) are often $30–40 and may last longer.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget-friendly bracket for a vintage John Deere garden tractor and your original is rusted beyond repair, and you’re comfortable with a basic aftermarket part that may require minor tweaks. Skip it if you want a perfect OEM match or need a bracket for a smaller or larger battery tray—measure first.
