2284 Turning Brakes
Hey all!
I got very lucky this past weekend and was able to buy a very nice, low hour, 2284 on the cheap. I haven't dove too far into the machine besides cleaning and diagnosing a leaky valve cover (new cover/gasket on order), but thought it was interesting that it does NOT have turning brakes. From my research (owners manual and google images), it doesnt seem as though it was an option and that all machines should have it. On the right, i have a brake pedal tucked up next to the frame. This pedal has a bracket/pocket on the back of the pedal for the locking bar. On the left, i have the "Single Brake Pedal" with a parking brake locking lever. This left pedal also puts the machine to Neutral. I peeked under the machine for a minute to see if it appears to be missing items or the like, and didnt spot anything obvious. Do these machines ever come without the turning brakes? thank you all, i am sure i will be back with more questions.

The 2284 rolled off the Assembly Line with three pedals. If you have less than that, then someone has modified the tractor.

Ah okay, great, thank you for the pic. I found a pedal from a 2072 that appears to have the same part number on partstree. Going to verify the broken pedal this evening and try to get that pedal on order. Thanks all for your help!
edit: for what its worth, why would one lock the pedals together? i understand the advantages of having them separate; having forward motion, losing traction, and using the turning brakes to regain traction. I can also see dragging/locking a brake when turning to make a tighter turn. Just not sure why one would want to actuate both at the same time.

Because at higher speeds one wants to lock the brakes together so as not to make an abrupt unwanted turn in the event you happen to apply the brake quickly.
They should be locked together unless you are using them as a turning assist or to improve traction of a spinning wheel.

Plus, if you are transporting the tractor on a trailer, one would lock down both brakes.

FYI, there should be a grease fitting on the outer (right) brake pedal. Mine doesn't appear to have ever been greased and is completely frozen solid.

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.
