Looking for a nice battery tray for my 72 Nordic 640ER. Some surface rust is OK, just really don't want any holes. Mine has seen better days as have many of them. The parts manual calls it "Battery Rack" and is OEM# 515-0255. The same part was also used on the 73 Nordic
Send me a PM if you have one to sell. Thanks! |

Can you possibly source a garden tractor battery tray that is close to what you need?

Do you know what the measurements are, or have a pic of it? I don't think I have one, but a pic might help figure it out

Hey guys thanks for the replies. Hope everyone is fairing well with the circumstances of today's world. Tompriebe, I thought about fabbing one up myself or looking for something aftermarket that would work, but I have a curse, like many here, that I like to keep things as original as possible.
I had a friend bead blast my tray and I took it home and put a coat of primer and paint on it, and it doesn't look too bad. I just used what I had on hand, some Rustoleum rusty metal primer, some flat black Krylon and some high heat flat black. I'll use it until I can find a decent replacement. Sorry forgot the measurements...

That looks good! Should last many years just the way it is. And you cant see the rust spots when a battery is sitting inside.
If it doesn't survive you could try lightly brazing some of the bad spots?
