105 brakes
 

has anyone replaced the brake pads on a 105? i didnt know if there was a easy way to do this.

Kinda a pain. But it's a beginner job at the least. And if there is an easy way to do it I want to know also, because i need to change my 782 brakes soon.

I have adjusted them before but have never replaced the brake shoe or puck not exactely sure what it is. The rear end needs to be pulled and disassembled to get to the brakes.

Yes the rear end needs to be removed and the front plate removed, then you have to remove the plate, Retainer, Remember to replace the O-ring and check the ball and retainer.
I pulled this from a web site

""" Drain the oil from the transaxle and then remove it from the tractor.
Remove the brake adjusting screw, pivot pin, brake lever, push rod and ball from the gear reduction housing.
Remove the front cover and large reduction gear.
Being very careful, remove the sliding brake pad cylinder from the reduction housing, and then chisel out each pad.
Get the brake pads from your local Cub Cadet dealer. As far as I know, they're the only ones who can get them.
Clean the counterbores where the pads fit into and install the new pads with contact cement, a multipurpose glue or highly adhesive glue (which are available at virtually any store) to bond the pads in place. It doesn't matter which brand to use. Virtually any industrial-strength glue will work. Then reinstall everything else in reverse order of removal. """

This is how I re-line the external brake pads.

105 has internal brakes, Doesn't it? or am I relay messed up. And that is most likely the case lol.

Yep the 105 has an internal brake. Just posted that if you are doing an external brake tractor. Sorry if I confused anyone. :beerchug:

NP I'm the only one that's confused, lol nothing unusual there :bigthink:

Your have to pull the tranny to fix the brake but I do not think that is your problem,more of an adjustment that needs to be done.
Do you have pics of your 105,sometimes the rears are switched out and newer ones that use brake pads are substituted.

i'll take some pictures and see if i can download them .i am not really good at putting pictures on these sites so i'll give it a try. thanks for all the help guys !!!!!
