If you need to replace you Brake Pad's these are sold each here - amzn.to/2yxWBjV
How to make the pads last longer. A hose clamp is the right width. Just needs to be cut to length. You can use them as shims to push the pad closer to the Brake Rotor. Just sand the pads smooth where the rotor cut its grove. Place your shims behind the pad. Lot cheaper than $16+ for 2 new pads
@@Art-jl6pt I'm using it as a spacer behind the shoe. Not as a brake. It should last for ever. When the shoe gets thin. I replace it.
This is an example of the way "how-to" videos should be created / edited. Great job.
The best video I have found on this subject. Very clear and straightforward with no annoying distractions or useless chatter
Thanks man for taking the time! I really helped out an elderly neighbor with your fix. She doesn’t have money to spend on shop work!
One of the best how-to videos I’ve watched on TH-cam. Thanks!
Clearly, the best explanation that I've seen anywhere. Photography was also excellent.
Excellent professional instruction. Thank you. My LT 1000 needed this!
Heck yea brother. Messed with alot of things on a lawn mower but never the breaks. Learned something new today. 🤙🤙
Thanks.
Very helpful. Right to the point. No silliness or "um...uh.....um" or any of that nonsense.
one of the best instructions on youtube, direct and to the point
Thanks, I hate having my time wasted watching videos. One of the reasons these arent the vlog style diy video.
I'm going to subscribe just on the fact that your videos are short and to the point. Thank you! Like you said, I don't have time to watch somebody talking about irrelevant stuff for 20 minutes before they get to the point. I'm gone by then! I just acquired 7 of these LT1000's, 2000's, and a couple Poulan Pro of the same type. They all run, but each has 1 or 2 minor issues like non working brakes, broken mower engagement cable, flat tires, etc.
You did a great job demonstrating and explaining the parts of the brake system, but you never actually explained or showed how to adjust the brakes. Other than that great video, I did learn some things from it.
Came to the comments to see if that gets explained. It does look like he flipped the brake pad. Possible that you can adjust he brakes on the mower by tightening the middle bolt perhaps?
He did explain it, just not point it out directly.. If you look at the 5 minute mark, (and even specifically the 5:11 mark) there are 2 nuts (at the very top right of the screen) that are attached to the brake engagement rod, that are just to the right of the large spring.. Loosen the locking nut enough that you can adjust the left nut closer to the spring.. Then when you get the nut adjusted where you want it, tighten the locking nut back up against the adjustment nut, and you're done.. Hope that helps clarify a little more.. Good video.. I didn't know how to do it, or else I would have never seen this video.. Now I get it..
One of the best how to videos I have watched - you are a pro! Thanks
Honestly the best informative video I've seen out of any video on u tube. Thank u
Fantastic video dude! You rock! Thanks for your time and effort into making an excellent DIY video.
Thanks! Now I won’t run into my fence. Great instructions.
Best break down I’ve seen. Good work !!
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTION'S ON TAKING IT OFF AND INSTALLING IT BACK ON....
Awesome video! Works exactly as you said. I'd like to point out that when the brakes are on and the spring compressed, I read in some shop manual that the length of the compressed spring should be 1.5". Looked about right, works fine!
Thank u soooo much! Was able to tighten my mower brakes ☺
clear demonstration!
Perfect Thank you for a great video!
Great video. Thanks for the info.
Great video!!! Helped me a lot thank you!😊✌️
outstanding video. very good editing. No BS. get right to it. you would make a very good trainer.
Excellent presentation
This us the BEST description by far for Cub Cadet brakes. However, my 2014 LTX 2040 has lighter and cheaper parts. So I disassembed everything as shown here and THEN flipped my brake pads over. Not easy to do the last adjustment here
Thanks, great video. You made it so easy I'm going to try it.
The common failure on these is the pins corrode in the bore and seize. Yours didn't look bad but generally you want to wire wheel those pins and you should grease them either way.
Very good information it help my brake problem 👍
Excellent video.
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks for the vid!
Best explanation 👌
Great vid man.
Well done!
Great video ty
Awesome!
Wow, Sweet video man!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
So after the brakes wear, do you just turn in the nylon lock nut on the brake assembly? Or do you adjust it for better breaking by loosening the double nut and taking up the slack?
Thanks man. I purchased and DIY installed new pads for my Craftsman riding mower. However, it still keeps going when I press the brakes. The information you provided regarding the adjustment nut in the middle of the caliper has cleared up the confusion so that I now know what to do to solve my issue. Thanks so much for posting.
More than welcome Daniel! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.
Then yours is not a brake adjustment but a gear or neutral adjustment.... its probably leaning towards gear one more than it is towards neutral and therefor crawls fwd.
Thanks!
Thank you Sir
thanks! I didn't know about the brake pads...now how do you correctly adjust the clutch?
Just want to thank you. I'm a Mercedes tech but I'll tell ya what hoss, being conceded going into anything you're not familiar with will bite you. Thanks for letting me know what I'll be running into. I have a LT2000. It looks identical to the lt1000 in your video. Thanks again.
You got it man! I know exactly what you mean!
great video will this work on my lt 2000
You failed to mention that the brake rotor needs to be free too. It needs to slide freely on the shaft that it is on. Mine was froze up, and the brake did not function properly.
Do you know of a link to buy a new brake assembly? Both of my bolts in the brake assembly were so rusty and seized that the bolt head snapped off while trying to loosen.
What to do if the cast housing that the pins slide in breaks in half. I already tried JB Weld. It didn't hold.
This looks more complicated than any of my cars!
What is the function of the metal clip between the center bolt and the forward bolt? Is it necessary, for the breaks to work properly, to reinstall this clip?
thanks
Do they still make those pads even though that's an older motor?
My model # doesn't match any of the ones listed. Any Ideas?
Ryan, while you broke down the brake system really well I never once saw where you made any adjustment to make for your brakes to work better. Did you happen to do that towards the end of the video when you spoke about the two nuts... locking nut ect? I just didnt see you make any adjustment rather just took it down and put it back together. What am i missing here?
Thanks for the pad link...I am also looking for the mechanical arm any ideas?
I will look. Might have to buy the entire assembly but let me check.
My break pedal doesn’t stop my mower and it doesn’t spring back into place when my foot is removed. What can I expect to find wrong with this assembly? Could my spring just be too loose?
Great video I am fixing a Craftsman LT1000 and am having an issue with the drive belt it keeps popping off so I ordered a new one that is 1/2 inch by 95.5 inch outside diameter and the belt is too small. Can you please tell me the belt size for this lawn mower thank you
You probably already found out that you did indeed order the correct drive belt. It is supposed to be 95.5 inches long by 1/2 inch wide. However, it's important to note that you can't just order any belt that fits those parameters. You need to order belts that meet the original manufacturer's specifications. OEM Lawn mower belts are made to slip and the best ones are made from Kevlar. For anyone that might read this, the part number(s) for the drive belt is Part No: - 144959 or 532144959 (either works) - 1/2" by 95.5 inches long. The deck belt that turns the blades part number is Part No: - 144200 or 532144200 (either works) - 1/2" by 88 inches long. My LT1000 has a 42" deck.
How do I adjust my parking brake lever so that it stays locked in park and not slip out or hold in the park position??
just a small turn on the nut in the middle to tighten brakes
Okay so center bolt is adjuster got it thanks
I feel as though you failed to mention on pulling off the rotar disc and checking the pad behind it as well.
I agree. Plus, if rotor is stuck to the shaft, free it up. Remove it from the splined shaft and lube it. It has to slide to allow for wear of the pads.
My pads were barely worn, but the braking is poor down a small incline. I might try folding up aluminum wrap and placing between the brake and flat metal piece just for giggles before I purchase pads.
I wouldnt do that. I would just put it back together and tighten the arm down like I did. That should make your brakes start working again.
Thanks for the video! Stupid question: Is the brake assembly on both sides, or only 1?
Just 1
@@Fentertainment Thanks so much!
Very thorough disassembly and reassembly instructions. That was not the title of the video.
Completely unneeded removal of the wheels and complete disassembly of the brake assembly to make an adjustment to the brake. There seems to be room to access the brake assembly without removing the wheels. You also did not show what the adjustments you made were or how to tighten/loosen the brake. I will figure that part out by trial and error I guess. 2 out of 4 stars.
Which side of the mower is the brake assembly on? I can’t tell which tire to remove.
Back right side
You did not show much on adjustment. Do you have to remove the wheels to adjust? Is there only 1 disk break?
Had no clue how this part worked, getting ready to go out in the garage and do this! I just watched a video on sharpening the blades and dressing my bench grinder wheel.. I feel like a true lawnmower mechanic. Lol not really
My favorite vid on "craftsman riding mower brake adjustment" covers everything.
Good video! How do you like your bagger for your mower?
I like it. I sold this mower a couple months ago when I ran across a john deere x304 quadrasteer. I kept the bagger and made it fit the deere. Still using it!
Yeeeeaaa
good video thanks... liked and sub. wondering if you could tell me how to fix my problem lol ,i just bought a use rider ,everything works great other then when i am in gear and let off the break no matter how fast or slow i do it nothing happens till about half way then wham back tires spin / front tires come off the ground almost every time theres no gradual take off thanks in advance .
In the video I adjusted a nut on a rod. I believe if you find your brake rod and adjust it you can give it more play.
Was looking for how to remove that rotor...but I guess it wasn't necessary.
Hello. Does this have oil filter?
Thanks
This particular one did not.
@@Fentertainment oh. Wow. Thanks.
The hrear hwheel
Was just given this rider by someone who upgraded to a z turn, it has zero brakes 😳
AdTube more commercials then cable tv
Lol I can't push or pull even without the break even being on 😭
I had to save this video to my TH-cam playlist until I can actually view the video otherwise it was just like listening to somebody with the lights turned out. Maybe TH-cam wants me to pay for a subscription to TH-cam.
I don't really understand what you did to fix the brakes.
nrdy grl
Go to 5:10 that's where he explains the break adjustment.
Clayton Realist ,
So he could have actually adjusted the brakes without taking all that apart?
@@zichragland8880 sure could've, but if someone has already taken everything apart and didnt know how it went back together then this could help.
Zich Ragland the pins and angled plate that pushes on the pins should be greased when there're apart .
Where is the link to the brake pads lol
Sorry about that. Not sure how that slipped by.
Don’t get me wrong. I found this very helpful! I want to make sure I get the correct pads when I tackle mine this weekend 👍
amzn.to/2yxWBjV
@@TheBikerx13yo yea, same here. If I take it apart I'm just gonna replace the pad.
You "go ahead" and "went ahead" a LOT....
Yeah, that's how they sprachen in America-land. But there's more of them than us (I presume you're a Brit, too!) so democracy wins. I'm going to go ahead and talk like that, too!
