What is it? Where does it go? Found this on the ground where I was working with 1025R and I have no clue where broke off of. (have a Gator also but don't think it was in that location) Clearly metal fracture in right upper corner .
I you know a part number also that would be great too!

New Air filter update. FREE.

Well, I emailed my dealer and explained that a good number of people have been getting their air filter re location parts for free from their dealers. I also mentioned that my existing bracket was already tightened once and that the bracket actually came loose the other day while messing around...

That is part of your air cleaner mount assembly.
Unfortunate it was a troubled design with possible major engine damage ramifications.
I'm sorry, I don't know how to link threads here but I urge you to search this site for broken air filter threads and read all.

Ahh the dreaded air cleaner support bracket. I would suggest up dating to the new version. Here is the link on GPS for the updated version kit.

I think I have the unbroken one of those air cleaner cradle brackets in my spare parts drawer. I know I sent the hold down rubber strap to a GTT member at no charge as his was broken and he didn't want to upgrade to the new A/C design. I personally would suggest going to the new mount system.

With your saddle bracket broken that severely, make sure to check the top of the engine covers for any signs of crack or failure. Sure hope you don't have any other damage.

Check with your dealership, mine was updated under warranty.

Thanks everyone, I guess I did good, 2015 tractor with 555 hours before breaking the bracket.

It's not the bracket that breaks but the engines intake runner (commonly referred to as the valve cover and looks like a valve cover). This runner breaking will drop its prices In to the engine causing catastrophic engine damage that almost always requires a replacement engine.

There's a ton of info in the other linked threads above how as SulleyBear said, save yourself the headache and significant wallet pain and just update it. Ask your dealer to do it, they might cover it or suck it up and buy the kit linked above. I've got a 2017 and did the update in about 20 minutes (which included taking the old parts back to the dealer 5 minutes away.)
