Default Turning brakes stuck

I've been working on the 2072, trying to get it up in shape & ready to work. I've been trying to separate the turning brakes & I can't get em to free up. The pedal lock is unlocked but both pedals move at the same time. I can't find anything that is locking them together but since the tractor has set out in the weather for no telling how long, I figure the shaft is rusted. I've been soaking it in PB Blast but so far it hasn't freed em up yet. Am I missing something?

Think you have it figured out, it's rusted. Here are a couple pics of what it looks like when you get it apart.

Thanks Sam, that helps a whole lot. Now it doesn't look like that big of a problem.

The brackets in that pic have been cut off a junked Super so don't expect them to come off, they are welded to the frame. Like Lew said, you may need some heat.

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.
