This worked surprisingly well, the fan is held in place by hopes and prayers, and my hand when moving up or down hill

Can get the same effect if you just drive the mower faster. Much faster.

    I've heard of hardware hacking for John Deere tractors, but I like this one the most haha

    Splurge, use some duct tape.

    Get some water misting in front of it and it’d be heaven!

    I've done this with another brand of 18v battery fan. But I used a couple of bungee cords to strap it down to the hood, stays on through bumps and hills.

    The only drawback is when you pilot the mower through a cloud of dust and it blows in your face

    Sic. Is it powered by its own battery or attached to the tractor's battery?

    Sounds like a permanent solution then.
