brake broke
New guy here , picked up a 123 at an auction for $175.00 and have started to sort it out . I have tried to adjust the brake by turning the adjustment screw clockwise to no result . It seems that the thing that the push rod goes against doesnt move in or out . To service the brake , do you have to get into the internal hydro unit ? I really dont like to drive this beast without brakes, this aint no craftsman .

Chances are the PO never used the brake, that's why the plunger is stuck-up. OR the speed controll centering cam is worn badly making the pedal difficult to push down when the tractor is in motion.
I have several (7 that I can think of while I'm setting here) hydros and almost never use the pedal to stop or slow down. You may be hard pressed to find an IH built Cub Cadet Hydro owner who does use the pedal. If you want your brakes fixed, I hate to be one of the guys who says this (it's kind of involved and I'm short on time) but, download the service manual from the tech. section on this forum, there is a pretty good description on brake repair in it.

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.
