Default Sometimes it's easy....and a confession.

I decided it was time to dig to see what was necessary to repair the brakes on the 1862. I was hauling a large load the other nite and came to a stop on a hill, put on the emergency brake and the tractor and cart started going backwards. Tonite was the nite. I already researched how much parts would be, so I was prepared for the worst. Pulled one wheel and the 'calipers' and everything moved freely. Furthemore there was plenty of pad left. No way, it couldn't be as easy as just adjusting the clevis end!!!!!! That's it! Adjusted the brakes and they work flawlessly.



Now for the confession. The load I was carrying was green My neighbor collects, restores and repairs greenies He had a restored 212 with ags, tiller, thrower, blade and wheel weights. I was hauling the thrower, weights and blade in the cart The 212 runs like a top and looks brand new. I couldn't pass it up as I would have paid about the same money for just the accessories for the 1862. So, the '62 is dedicated to mowing and the greenie will be used for tilling and snow duty.

I like the internal brakes. One screw adjust everything.

As for the green, don't tell anyone, but my next tractor will be green. SHHHH!
It's okay to like them too.

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.
