Genuine MTD 11027 — Handle Stop Bracket Assembly

Restore the proper stop for your tractor handle with this original MTD 11027 Handle Stop Bracket Assembly. It’s the stamped / formed steel bracket that mounts to the frame / handle area and provides the formed stop tab and mounting points that limit handle travel and secure the handle assembly. The part is the same Handle Stop Bracket. listed on factory parts diagrams for older MTD lawn tractors, so it’s a direct, no‑mods replacement when the original bracket is bent, cracked or missing.

Example fitment (models where part 11027 appears on the illustrated parts lists): MTD riding / tractor models such as 135‑395‑118 (1985) and 135‑397‑077 (1985); the 11027 callout also appears across several other 13x‑series MTD tractor manuals and parts diagrams. If your tractor’s illustrated parts list shows callout 11027 as “Handle Stop Brkt. Ass’y,” this is the matching genuine MTD replacement.

What to expect: a small, formed steel bracket with two mounting points and an integrated stop tab designed to accept the original fasteners; install is straightforward from the handle / frame side using the same screw/bolt locations shown on the diagram for your model. If your parts diagram lists 11027, this is the correct genuine MTD bracket to restore proper handle travel and engagement.
