Cub Cadet Grizzly; Parts??

[MattN124]

Hello;

I picked up my first Cub Cadet product last week. It's an older SxS/UTV called a Grizzly 4016. From what I have learned these were made around 1996-97.

It's a really neat little machine! Not near as much performance of a newer model, but this is exactly what I need for chores around my property.

I need help finding brake parts. The person before me thew all the front brake parts in the trash

I've already tried Cub Cadet dealers around me and everything on-line I could find. All of these parts are not available. I've also not been able to find any kind of cross-reference for the part numbers.


Does anyone have any knowledge of these machines?

If I can't find parts, I'm thinking about trying to make something by using go-kart parts or something similar. I don't have any experience with this type of FAB work, but I'm not scared to learn.

I've attached some pictures, including from where the front brakes should be,

Here are some diagrams of the brakes and front end, with part numbers.

All of the part numbers show up as not available everywhere i look.

Anyone know of a cross reference for this? Or anyone have a suggestion for potentially using parts from a different vehicle that I could FAB something to make them work?

They must have been junk from the start. I can't find much for them.
If you really like it than try to find a used one for parts on ebay.

bill682, thanks for the input.

I have been searching everywhere and cannot find parts or an entire unit for sale and I have not had any luck. (including eBay)

It seems like a great little machine, but was only made for 2-years, so not a lot of them out there.

I was hoping this website being exclusive to Cub Cadets might have somebody with some information

They were not too proud of it IIRR.
Every once and a while someone comes on here that purchased one looking for parts, and never has much luck.
As much as I would like to help you, I can't.
One could fab something up possibly from some other brand.
if it runs well I honestly suggest either using it as is or trading it off to someone that needs parts.
You can do a search on here as it seems in my old foggy memory, someone a year or so ago, needed trans or axle parts.
Sort of like a Yugo car of yesteryear.

Thank you George.

Yep, I did some searching on this forum and found a couple other posts with people looking for parts.

I can use it as-is; the rear brakes do function and it does not go very fast. As long as I plan ahead I can stop in time (if not on a steep hill)

I have a newer version UTV that Cub made and it is pretty good but it does have some issues with the electronic shifter. Mine was made with brakes on the rear wheels only. The PO got scared when he would drive it down to his dock on the lake and the rear wheels would lock up and he would lose control. Maybe you'll be okay with rear brakes only. My land is pretty flat so it has not been an issue with me.

Looks like a cushman truckster. Maybe they made them for cub cadet

I'm thinkin' with a little ingenuity and work you could make go-kart/quad parts do the job.
