Default External Brakes on a 104 ???

Can external brakes be transplanted to a 104 that currently has internal brakes ?

Could this be a strictly bolt on operation if the right donor parts are found ?

What model # tractor would be an acceptable donor ?

The axles and calipers should work from any external brake tractor. The center cast piece would have to be from a gear drive 108, 128, 1000, 1200 etc.

KSanders,

thanks for the update. I do have calipers and discs donated to me by other locals. I'll have a chance to see if these cobble together into something promising. I may need a few arms to connect the calipers to the brake pedal.

Chuck

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.
