Rudy

This is the thread I did when I re-lined the pads for my 121

If your pads are riveted on just drill out the rivets and glue the new pads on.

Rudy, how thick are your pads. We need some pics because the lever that pushes on the caliper will also sometimes wear and not cause it to move enough. Look at the other end of the lever that the spring attaches to and see if it is worn.
I followed Matt G's write up when I did a set a few years ago + McMaster-Carr is in our backyard and you will have the material in a day. Good luck!

My four pads were down to about 1/8 inch on all four pads. I found a set of four pads with about 1/4 inch on them on ebay and ordered them for $15. I'll let you all now how they turn out. Oak, I understand what you are saying about the hardware in the calipers and the arms but mine looked pretty good with not too much wear. I took the calipers all apart and cleaned and lubed them and found out that if I tightened them to the full tight position the arm fully screwed in to the shackle would not activate the brakes due to not enought pad left on them. One side was ok but the other was too far gone to salvage. One thing that I did notice was how simple and effective the brakes are on these old Cubs. Not a lot to go wrong on them and a pure simple design.

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.
