LS XG3135
I was looking at pictures of older LS models and I noticed discontinued R model had a cup holder that looked like it might work. All that needs done is the existing rear hole in the fender is widened a bit and I cut a new hole for the front bolt. Very simple install. I used some rubber grommets on the underside to take up the space and to isolate it a bit. So glad I have a spot for my cell and a drink! Unfortunately it wont work on the XR models. The fender is different. My dealer has a few more in stock if anyone wants one.

I really like that pocket tho, that would be handy for sun glasses, or as you mention, the phone.....what dealer has this?

My dealer ordered it for me back in May or June. They came from Korea a couple weeks ago. They ordered a few extra incase it worked. Anyway its Bobs tractor parts in McEwen TN. The part is cheaper than you would expect. Tell them Jay sent you! (615) 879-2045 Home Bob's Tractor Parts & Equipment McEwen, TN (615) 879-245

A thread on Cup Holders gave me a flashback. Anyone remember the long-running thread on the "Chalkey Cup" from sometime around 2000 or so? I searched and couldn't find it. As I recall, he put a high-strength magnet in the bottom of an insulated coffee mug so he could stick it to his tractor anywhere - thus no need for a cup holder.... Great thread - there were many variations.....

I found the thread -
