Extending Brake Pad Life - 1641
The brakes on my new-to-me 1641 were at the end of their adjustment and did not stop the tractor. There was a lot of lining left on the pads but the end or the adjusting rod was hitting the clevis pin.
The brake pads are positioned by a 3/8" dia x 1 1/4" sleeve. Made a trip to my local Tractor Supply and left with 4 Hillman 3/8 x 1/2 x 1" thin wall sleeves and 8, 3/8 flat washers. Swapped out the sleeves and used the flat washers as shims between the outer pad and the sleeve. This brought the pads closer to the rotor and changed the travel of the adjustment rod. The number of washers needed will vary according to the wear on your pads. I ended up using 2 washers. (The rotate your monitor for viewing feature is enabled)

It's a hydro, you don't need brakes. When you hit the brakes it should move the hydro lever on the dash back to neutral which will stop the tractor. If the tractor is still moving with the brake pedal down then you have a hydro linkage issue, not a brake issue.

First welcome to OCC. Good job getting more life out of the pads. When parking on a slope it is nice having a working parking brake.

If the brake rod is made shorter, it is possible the cam/lever may go over center. Might I be correct on that thought?

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.
