Cub 129 Brakes ReDo finished
Well this weekend I rebuilt my brakes on my new to me CC129. This was based on the instructions I found in this forum and it worked great. Thought I would share my process/steps in case anyone can use the info.
1. Disconnected linkage (No required but I wanted all new hardware due to heavy rust) 2. Unbolted the bracket assembly 3. Removed brake pads (Used cutting wheel to cut through the shoulder bolts, nuts were rounded off, RUST!) 4. Using chisel, I removed most of the remaining pad. two of the pads were bare metal. (Used wood mallet on chisel, was not difficult at all) 5. Using orbital sander and 80 grit removed residual pad and score metal down to the base metal, cleaned with acetone 6. Mixed the JB high strength and mounted pad. (Pad from McMaster-Carr) 7. Clamped for 24 hours 8. Using a rasp file, I removed 1/16 off each pad then a bastard file to smooth. Spent maybe 2 min on each pad. New pad is too thick. 9. Remounted using all new hardware sourced from McMaster-Carr (Shoulder Bolts) and Ace Hardware 11. Adjusted brake linkage. The hardest part for me was remounting the wheel. I have wheel spacers to accommodate the front loader mounting system. Little of a balancing act to align. Hope someone can use this info. Next project is a leaking transaxle and exhaust issue. Drop me a note with any questions.

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.
