[CADplans]

I got a used Craig's List Cub Cadet 1000 this weekend with no brakes whatsoever. A quick peek underneath showed the PO had even used a 3/8" nut on each side over the brake rod to extend the brake pad usage.

I pulled the pads to find the brake material completely gone. NADA!! Steel on steel.

I had read about the aluminum clutches and brake pads, so I thought I would give them (brake pads) a try.

Some .100" aluminum, some JB Weld, some snips, lots of clamps, and now the brakes work GREAT!!

Anyone else try this?? I was wondering how long they may last??
