Please post some pictures of the solution that you end up installing.

Try drying the electrodes in a low oven for a couple of hours. They may have absorbed moisture while being stored.

John Deere supplies this one. The price looks good for an OEM accessory. Looks like it has various mounting options, including near the rear hitch. https://shop.deere.com/us/product/5WS812460%3A-Chain-Saw-Holder/p/5WS812460 Edit: I looked at the compatibility chart and the 6155M model...
