1715 Brake Disc Removal
I just purchased a 1715 and it didn't have any brakes. I fabricated a new brake rod and purchased new brake pads, since the old one was paper thin. The 1715 uses two pads, one on the inside (actually sits in a cavity in the transaxle) and the other on the outside, which is operated by the brake arm. I would like to replace both pads but, the brake disc is rusted onto the shaft coming out of the transaxle.
What trick(s) have you all used to remove a rusted disc without hurting the transaxle internals or the disc? I thought about using some heat, but wasn't sure if there would be a seal behind the disc that might get smoked in the process. BTW: My dad had an Original when I was much younger and this is my first Cub since then. My oldest son and I are working on it together. He wants to go pulling with it and I figured that it would make for a great lesson in mechanics for him. thanks for any assistance!

With out pics its hard to tell where your at with pulling the brake pucks out.
Remover the 2 threw bolts that hold the brake housing on Then pry GENTLY the bracket off. If it wont come off start the PB Blast bath. One the bracket comes off then the rotor should come off, with access to the inner puck. Now you have that pearless tranny in there. If it ever goes out, DONT throw it away, we rebuild them in our shop. Had a guy on another forum send us one from Ohio and we rebuilt it for him. A lot of shops wont touch them, we do them a lot. Please try and post some pics

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.
