Default 1x8 battery compartment

OK, reassembling my 1x8...can anyone please post a clean pic looking down into the battery compartment? I have the oem battery hold down, with the kickup in the middle and the two little pieces and angle stock that just bridges the battery...but I'm not having any luck figuring out how the heck it's supposed to go in there...the hole in the back of the battery compartment it about the right height for the j-bolt on the loop end of the holddown, but then what do I do with the angle-bend end of the holddown?

You are correct, the j bolt goes in the hole in the rear. The other end just hooks under the lip on the fender pan.

THANK YOU so much for the clarification! My train of thought: "Has to be that battery's too tall. Nah, couldn't be, I got a 108 and an 1811 and both use same [Farm and Fleet] battery. But one came with a bungee cord...and the other with a piece of foam rubber...I could grind down the hook on the hold down...but that means moving the tractor out in the cold to get to the grinder...I know! I'll try that crappy aftermarket NF hold down! It ought to work with those two unused holes in the top of the frame rails!"--which it did.

Now off to assemble the plow...
Thanks again!

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.
