This beast needs a brake job and it looks to be a real bitch to get to
the transaxle housing mounted rotor and pads.
It appears that the best way might me to remove the bolts holding the
housing from the frame and drop the whole rear end, but maybe not. I
would appreciate hearing from anyone who has tackled this job. Thanks
DId you try adjusting them? I have never see lawn tractor brakes wearing
out. You hardly never need them and when you lock them on it's usually
not moving and wearing.
Mine wore out, but it is 40 years old so that's not too bad.
