Default Removal of the brake pivot pin
I'm about to start splitting my CC 100 and was wondering if there were any tips on removing the brake lever pivot pin? Thanks

Very carefully!!
You DO NOT want to bust the 2 cast iron ears or you will really be screwed.

Okay, so I appreciate that heads up. Do you use a punch to drive the pin out?
A reminder, this is my first time to work on a CC. I'm just wanting to ask before I screw something up. Thanks

Make sure you remove the adjusting bolt (that thing with the square head) COMPLETELY because it goes through a groove in the pin. That's what holds the pin in.

PB Blaster it up real good and tap lightly with a punch. Work it both ways a little at a time.

you wouldn't necessarily have to split the tractor to get the pivot pin out, but what do you mean by "do the brakes". If they are not working, most likely the cause is that the piston is rusted up in it's cylinder. That will not be a fun thing to get loosened up, and will most certainly be easier to work on out of the frame.

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.
