149 brakes
I am getting close to reassembling my 149 and discovered I am missing a couple parts for the brakes. I don't have any spacers or release springs. Does anyone have any pictures, details, or dimensions of these two items? I am thinking I can probably get pretty close with stuff from Ace and a little work, but I have no idea what these things even look like.
Thanks,

I didn't look any of this up, but I would visit your local "well equipped" local hardware store to get you back in business.

I'm with you. Went to Ace, found a heavy spring, cut it in half (it was too long) and shoved it in. Not sure if that is appropriate or not. Nor do I know what the spacer is supposed to do, so hopefully it isn't critical.? Thanks.

The picture you showed in your first post is for a different make of brake. The 149 used 3 different makes of brake units. You have an Ausco unit. It doesn't use spacers, it has shoulder bolts instead. It also doesn't use springs, the shoes just float. I don't think they will hurt anything but they weren't there originally.

With the spring collapsed... Do the linings have enough meat to touch the rotor? If they do it cant be much. Not a huge amount of lining to begin with. If it works like that as the linings wear I would think at some point the spring will keep the linings from touching. I would take the spring out. As said before they are just meant to float.

cooperino, are you saying these brakes should not have a spring? That would be great news! I have new pads, which I had to sand down to get them to fit, so it takes very little pressure for these to grab. If floating is what the original design was, I will gladly ignore the springs all together.
Thanks

I dont think that style had springs.. Even if they did they would not effect how they operate as far as braking goes. When brake is not applied they will just float. In the systems that had springs I would think they were just meant to keep them from rattling when not applied. The springs would have been very lite duty

Cooperino, I believe you are right. That is a huge relief to learn. I now have the brakes mounted. One small step at a time. Thanks!

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.
