I remember one time when I was maybe 10 or 11 years old, and still pretty new to driving the tractor, I ran the front of my dad's 310 off the end of the carport because the brakes didn't work at all.

The plumbing section in a big box is the worst. No one maintains the stock anymore.

Belt number for the Mule Drive on a C145A (1984)

Click on the fuzzy picture in the link. The belts ae listed on the page that comes up. May not be the exact deck you have but the belts will be the same. -
Sadly the brake is the weak part on these machines. You were correct when you said these tractors can tow much more weight than they can stop. I have always heard that an 8 speed can pull 10,000 lbs without damaging it, but I promise you that brake band won't stop it. The brake (if it works properly) stops the bull gear in the transmission. If one wheel slips, the differential will not hold the tractor from moving. Of course during "normal" use on reasonably level ground, the brake is sufficient. Most of us don't regularly adjust them until we notice it won't stop...

Safe and reliable are relative terms. Most bicycle brakes have more stopping force relative to weight than a garden tractor. I've never relied too much on garden tractor brakes, particularly the parking brake, but they are fully mechanical linkage, so no hydraulic lines to blow out. Easy to maintain is also relative. The process of adjusting them is simple enough, it's just a nut to tighten or loosed on a threaded rod. Access is the issue, it's not in a super-easy to access spot. My hand fits fine, but there is precious little room to swing a tool. If you flip the seat pan up it should all be on the left side. The lining you linked to is just the friction material. The old would need to be removed from the band and the new glued down. @rmaynardalso sells the linings. Brian at K&B@76c12091520h will sell you a whole, ready to go band with lining.

Belt number for the Mule Drive on a C145A (1984)
River Rat posted a topic in Implements and Attachments
I am looking for the Wheel Horse part number for the Mule Drive belt on my 1984 C145A 11-14KE01. I believe it is 102742. The old one is stretched quite a bit and not sure the outside length. possibly 1/2 by 103 in? 48 inch mower. Any help is appreciated! -
Thank you for the prompt reply and correcting where I was wrong.. is the band is drum a very safe reliable easy to maintain brake (band) https://wheelhorsepartsandmore.com/product/brake-band-lining-wheel-horse/ just buy one of these and find where it attaches to brake lining.. bolt it in and done? Safe reliable brakes

All the garden tractors made by wheel horse use a simple band and drum. They can be adjusted, but the only serviceable portion is the band itself. It should be kept clean and properly adjusted. And the clutch/ brake combination on some older machines is not the reason you can't shift on the fly. It is because the transmissions do not have any form of synchronization. You have to stop to select a new gear.

Its been a minute since I used a hammer, well... for what they are intended for... -
Evening, Wanting to better understand my tractor overall.. can someone explain to me what kind of brake is specifically used on the 856. Does it ever need to Be serviced or replaced maintained ect similar to a car with a rotor disc pad ect? Have been told that these tractors can tow much more than they can safely stop with the brakes such as the 856 has. Is there a specific name for the clutch brake combo … since it allows no on the fly shifting.. have to be completely stopped before shifting to best protect prolong the transmission gears.

That looks fantastic. @buckrancher will also have our traditional white banner at the show. Anybody know the whereabouts of the Red banner seen in the early group photos? -

1445 Auto will be my cruiser for the weekend. I sold the K-91 tiller already, and have been digging out other items sold or on the chopping block… Tuesday will be loading day! GT-14 machine will not be making the trip, but it’s cool having the generations of tillers near each other! -

90’s 520H on marketplace in my area…is it worth the asking price or should I haggle?
WHX?? replied to MainelyWheelhorse's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Tractor alone is a 100 roller but I see parts to sell so worth that. Deck 50 tiller 100. 10 minutes away i would certainly go to educate myself and maybe even the seller. Like 953 nut says If not keep yer cash in your pocket and walk.
