782 brake; sleeve hitch
Hello all, new member here. Yesterday I looked at an IH built 782, looks good, runs good, needs some tlc but not bad. One thing that I did notice is that the brake is almost nonexistent- it resets the hydro lever to neutral, (it does creep a little bit) but the pedal bottoms out on the footrest, almost no resistance at all, and the tractor feels like it will roll if you were on a hill. Doesn't see safe.
My Dad and my Uncle both have 1811s, but they have rear discs, and this 782 isn't set up like that. I crawled underneath and saw what looked like an 'L' shaped piece that goes toward the hydro, what does it do? How does the brake work on the hydros, and if it is a mechanical issue, how much work is it to repair? Lastly, Dad has a 1650 that's seen its finally days, but it has a sleeve hitch, and he has a tiller and snowthrower for it. Is the sleeve hitch swappable into the 782? Will the tiller and snowthrower mount up? I've read elsewhere that the 1650 is considered a 'wide' frame and 782 a 'spread' frame. Thanks for the help!

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.
