Cub Cadet ZT1 owner here and new forum member.  I wonder if I might get some help identifying a part I found sitting next to the motor of my mower?  I heard a rattle and stopped to look it was sitting there next to the engine.  Looking through and searching parts diagrams hasn't yielded a hit, and a call to Cub Cadet got through to a support person who was unable to identify the part and was going to escalate my call, but I haven't heard back from them.
It looks like a clamp or a retainer of some kind. Anyone have any ideas on what it is and where it goes?
Thanks very much.
