Default Time for brakes

We had a snowfall of 5 - 6" earlier in the week. the 1572 did a magnificent job in clearing it all out. When I was done, I just backed it into the garage and closed the door to let all the snow just melt away and dry up. This morning, I went out in the garage to get something out of the truck, when I saw a brake lining on the floor. Best as I can figure, as I was backing up, I stepped on the pedal to stop and the lining just rotated around with the rotor and wound up on the floor in one piece. What do you think is the best way to proceed with this? Just re-bond the lining to the pad after cleaning off the rust and debris? Go through and replace all the linings? What's the best thing to use to re-bond the linings?

I just finished buying new brake lining from McMaster Carr, drilling the rivets out of the old pads and using jb weld to glue the new pads to the metal. Haven't given it a real test yet, just installed them.

JB Weld will hold up fine. I have did my brakes a couple of years ago using it.

It is called "gotchas"
I swear the equipment talks to each other, seriously!!!!!!!!!
On days when we were short of tradesman we always had the most
breakdowns.
Also, when we would have a quiet night and things were humming along well,
all of a sudden the requests would start pouring in, and it was always not the normal things,always off the wall WTF caused that to happen stuff.
I could write a thick book!
I'm sure J. mech could tell stories also, as well as you other fellers in the "fixin' business.
But the roof don't leak if it don't rain Ha,LOL!

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.
