ebinmaine 67,671 #2 Posted November 14, 2021 Wheelhorse didn't have hub/turning brakes on C series with 12" wheels that I've seen. @Oldskool has made a set. What prompts your question? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handy Don 12,237 #4 Posted November 14, 2021 In an impressive display of craft and ingenuity, @Oldskool has modified/outfitted one of his tractors with turning brakes. Perhaps he'll post a picture or two? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxwell-8 4,277 #11 Posted November 15, 2021 Maybe transplanting cub cadet disc brakes could make for a cool modification. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxwell-8 4,277 #13 Posted November 15, 2021 Just now, Oldskool said: Which model is that from? internet picture think 149. But with 70's cub cadets you have ones with external and internal brakes, this is obvious external. Their transmissions got shared over different models just like WH 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How easy is it to steer with those brakes? It perks my interest a bit. I had a Cub given to me but not sure what year. I know it has a metal hood. My brakes work fairly decent. There are probably some changes that could be made 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also maybe change the direction of the actuation rod. Possibly down instead of forward? I was just using the WH design when I built it. There is definitely enough area of friction but maybe could use more torque on the rod. Reference pic #3 in my previous response. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stolmar 35 #18 Posted November 15, 2021 Those cub cadet brakes look very similar, if not the same as the d series turning brakes. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
