108 brake caliper bracket issue
I'm trying to make some progress on my Cub Cadet 108 put back into service project and what I thought would have been a straight forward fix has turned into another compounded problem. I've relined the brake pads using 3"x1" pieces of brake material and JB Weld to hold them in place, cleaned up the rest of the parts and was proceeding to reassemble everything. It was all working out OK until I started to adjust the brake rods. At that point, it became apparent that the right brake caliper only allowed for about 3/4" of adjustment play at the end of the brake rod whereas the left brake caliper allowed about 1 and 3/4" adjustment play at the end of it's brake rod. I went over and over everything examining a discrepancy that shouldn't have existed because there is no real differences between the right and left side brakes. It's also a bigger problem then it seems because the right side adjustment will engage the brakes before they are suppose to be engaged, possibly interfering with the way the clutch releases. Anyway, I have noticed that the right side brake caliper bracket and left side brake caliper bracket seem to be fastened to the rear axle with a slight difference, possibly resulting in the right bracket sitting further back on the axle. And, I am planning on adjusting that bracket so it conforms more closely to the left side. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has seen this kind of problem before?

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.
