Cub Cadet 987-02271A  Handle Bracket Assembly

The Bracket, sometimes referred to as a brace or mount, is often critical to supporting the weight of another component or strengthening an attachment point. Common uses are the handle bracket, idler bracket, or anti-scalp roller bracket. If subjected to substantial torque, many brackets are designed to break in order to protect other components. When replacing a bracket, confirm if you need the Left-Hand (LH) or Right-Hand (RH) bracket as they often differ. Left or right is based on the operator position.
