Default Internal or external brakes

Anyone have a preference?

(the back story): A short stop on the way home from work Friday and another 1650 (lord help me, I have been trying to REDUCE not increase!). Just a price I couldnt pass up. (took the hood and fenders off before I got a pic, so will only have the 'after' photos)

But Im determined to make some progress on these over the weekend - another thread for that.

This one has external brakes. Seems appealing to me... maybe someday I want to add steering brakes. But it wont happen on this tractor, this one will be passed along to someone that will use it more (still needs a lot of work, and I havent heard it run yet so it may or may not have a decent engine, time will tell).

But I have another one - a 784 that has some rear end leaks. Wondering if I should just swap out the rears ends (I happen to have two extra rear end/hydro units, but neither of those with external brakes).

Should I put this one with the external brakes in the 784?

Also happen to have an 1811 (intended to be my keeper)... I could swap this cast iron one out into the 1811 - a good idea?

Or (most likely), I will just work my way through them until I get them all put back the way they came

Also it has a hitch of some type on the back - anyone know what that might be good for?

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.
