Asking for brake help
I am asking for some brake help with my 147. They do not fully engage with the pedal depressed all the way to the floor. I know how to adjust them and they are adjusted to the max
  Do the brake pads look worn out?   Sorry if it doesn't show much. I didn't take the wheel off, and that probably would help. The brakes do engage some; with the pedal locked I can still turn the wheel and the caliper will move, evident that the brakes are engaging, just not enough. I haven't done much with adjustment as I can operate the hydro just fine and stop that way, but I would like locking brakes. Thank you!

They look a bit thin from the pic. You may be able to put a shim between the lever on the caliper and the pad to get a little more out of them.

Did some more work on the cub- today it was brakes. I got them tightened up with a nut on each side that acts like a spacer.
  The wheels lock easily now, but only when the engine is off. When it is on the hydro is trying to go in reverse with the pedal depressed the entire way. Guess it's back to the manual to see how to adjust that. At least I have a parking brake.............

That's because when you hit the brakes while in forward or reverse it moves the hydro to neutral, that's how it is supposed to work.

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.
