Default 102 with no brakes

Bought a 102 last night. Trying to hide it in the barn before my wife got home we had a mishap . My wife pulled up in front of the house. My buddy tried to close the door while I finished getting the tractor down the ramps. I held the brake like I normally do and no brakes .102 goes down the ramps across the barn and into my 1650. I almost had a heart attack. But 102 hit 1650 in rear tire. No damage. Cover the 102 with a tarp by weight set ,where the dust sits , and my wife wont ever look. At least till xmas is over and she wont complain cause Im going to get her a extra good gift to make up for my addiction.
Well my question is if you have a bad throwout bearing does that cause the brakes to not work or jam them. I cant tear into this yet it has to stay hidden till after xmas

Good luck with that. My wife would already know something was up. You know that 6th sense they have. Your buddy is closing the door while your still in there, loud noises coming out of the garage. Surprised faces or funny expressions. Its best to come clean, maybe an early Christmas present. Ask me how I know... IMO your stepping off the cliff without wings.

Better to tell her you picked it up at the scrap yard. "Some jerk was going to junk this and I got it for the scrap price." Then you can tell her what a great deal it is. You owe me.

Sometimes the clutch disc will stick/freeze to the metal clutch plates and the clutch won't release. You can tap a putty knife or screwdriver between them to separate them.

The first half the clutch pedal travel works the clutch release. The second half works the brakes. See the manual for the adjustment or just look at the workings of the mechanism and it should be obvious what to do.

Some of you guys and your wives!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
