Is a brake overhaul due?
Ok, after my snow plowing days are behind me I realized that my 1811 brake pedal does not return all of the way. I adjusted the two turnbuckles as far as they would go but no help. The springs do not ever really get any tension on them when the pedal is fully depressed. What should I check next?

Well if the springs that connect to the brakes don't pull the pads in contact with the rotors it's probably time for some new pads. If the pedal is not returning the return spring #11 may have gone AWOL.

I didn't realize that there was a third return spring. The two outside springs are still intact but don't seem to ever tighten up when the brake pedal is all the way down. The brakes do work but the pedal only returns about half way. Is the best way to get to the third spring through the tranny cover or the bottom? BTW, thanks for the diagram.

Take the tunnel cover off to get at the return spring. You probably need new pads anyway if the two springs on the outside don't tighten up when you push the pedal down. Take a look at the pads and see how thick the lining is.

Sam is right about spring #11.
I also was never happy with the brakes on my 1811. Pads were fine, but I didn't like how tight I had to run the turnbuckles. I had no idea if the springs on it were original, so I just replaced them with some from the hardware store that were shorter. Took care of the problem. Just FYI, when the pedal is up, the linkage should be slack, or it will hold the brakes on.

Sam Mac, I went to the CC parts page and they only list the 19 and 20 kit on the diagram you sent me. They do not show just brake pads. Do you know how to find the correct part number for an 1811 for just the pads?

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.
