Glad to be a new member - BRAKE SHOES needed
 

I don't know where else to turn for obsolete parts. I've looked high and low for replacement brake shoes for my old Cub Cadet 2135. Bought it new in 1994 and kept it running well all this this time. NEVER had an issue finding parts until now. If anyone has a pair of part numbers 761-3020 or 961-3020 please get back to me. Thanks

Get some friction material from McMaster Carr and reline them yourself.
That's what most others do with them nowadays

Check the later model 2500 series they just might be the same
