127 Brakes
The brake adjustment nuts have bottomed out and I placed a few washers on the rod to get a little bit more out of it. There is still a good bit of lining left on the pads. Hmmmm. A little investigation shows that the brake levers are about cammed over. After 42 years of service I am not surprised that the levers have worn. Come spring I will weld them up and mill them to the correct dimensions.
Does anyone have a drawing for the levers? Pics of a new one? Also, what is the thickness of the brake lining for the 127 brakes? It surely is thicker than the material in MattG's write-up. Thx, Guido

Guido,
I had similar brake issues on the 147. I found a donor tractor with OK brake pads and used those. I did read Matts information about the McMaster Carr material. One tip I did get from the guy I got the donor tractor from was to thread the rods about 1 inch more and cut off about 1 inch. Yea if you have wear then welding the pivot point should help too. Regards, Chris

Matt and I both have threads on the brake relining. Look at my thread, posted by Allen C, and it shows a part that wears. I have had to build that part up on more than a few tractors. I did it on my 106, but really still need to reline the brakes. Ive probly relined 50 sets for people, cant find time to my own!

Vince.
My bad. I know what you mean. Sometimes my work doesn't get done because I am not getting paid to do it. Is the pic you show of the lever one that is in good shape or is it worn? CAD, Now there's an idea. Since it is a low speed application, using aluminium would work just fine. (I like saying aluminium) Did you copy the original shape of the lining or install pucks? I think two pucks per pad would make them self- cleaning. Guido

"CAD,

About a month of use and I have not had to readjust. If I had used OEM pads, by now I would have had to readjust.

Its worn. I did 6 sets for one guy up in Va for the cubs on his nursery. It was perfect came in the fall when we were starting to slow down. Thats the kinda work I like to do, the heck with sharping blades and changing oil. But it must be done.
Cad Ill bet you got all sorts of brake! Kinda like air brakes on a 1/8 turn! LMAO!

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.
