Good video. Well presented. Helpful. Thanks.

You don't need new pads all you have to do is put a shim behind the metel plate behind the pad and your original pads will last a lifetime if you use this simple method.

@@duckflynn3849 where do you get the shim?

Thank you for the feedback. Have a great Sunday 👍😁

That’s awesome man. I actually got my craftsman for free to from a guy I worked with. Are you gonna camouflage it too. Dude I get a lot of compliments on mine. Thanks for the sub too. I really appreciate you! 👍😁

@@VansWorld I didn’t go full camo yet, but i will! i can wait to see the reactions of the people in my neighborhood 😂. You earn it man. Thanks for your help and hard work!

😁 heck yeah. Let me know that kind of reactions you get. I have people actually stop in the street and look at my mower as I’m cutting the grass. 👍😁

Lol man that mower stops on a dime now lol Thanks for watching

Mine is still going strong. Thanks for watching and for commenting 👍😁

Oh wow. That sounds interesting indeed. Very frugal 😀👍

It’s making the most out of what I have. My brakes are perfectly fine. Thanks for the concern. The process is exactly the same if you add new pads.

Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. I’m glad this video helped you. Have a great weekend 👍😁

Bearded Seabee 82 works a lot better. It wasn't stopping at all.

Good luck. It should be an easy project for ya. 👍😁

Jason Williams my brakes work great again.

PAPA Texas 😁👍

👍😁

I can have mine in forward or reverse then press down the brake pedal halfway then the mower rides forward or put it in reverse and press the brake halfway and it'll back up

😁👍 thanks

Awesome... Congratulations.... Thanks for the feedback and for watching

I appreciate you. Thank you for the great comments 👍😁

Thank you. 👍😁 thanks for watching. I hope it helps you. Checkout my newest videos. 👍😁

Great tips. Thank you for sharing 👍😁

Also put anti seize on the shaft and threads of the mounting bolts too. You will thank yourself for using anti seize on all of these parts the next time you take it apart. Just a very thin coat is all that is necessary.

Thanks for the added Tip. 👍😁

Awesome advice 👍😁 thanks.

@@VansWorld Your most welcome! Another thing I do is... I was a farmer many moons ago. To keep the plow points, and subsoiler feet/ points from wearing to fast. We welded hard surface to the places that would wear. On the lawn mower blades I put a bead along the upper edge to be sharpened, and the upswing on the blade where it wears thin. I sharpened the blade as normal. They last a hole lot longer. There is a company who sells a blade with hard service on the underside of the blade. Just under where you sharpen the blade. But the top of the blade wears, and the upswing wears. It last longer, than a standard blade. But not as long as the way I did it. I guess. They don't want to sell a blade, that would not have to be replaced for a L- O - N - G Time! If you do not own a welder. Take a worn used blade to a welding shop Along with the new blade He will see exactly where it needs the hard surface.

@@VansWorld Saw on another video. The mechanic put a dab of silicone on the brake pad next to the frame to hold it while he put the rotor back on . Also if you clean up the axel. Put never seize lube on the shaft. Mine had not been taken off in a while. Had to beat it off with a sledge hammer and a 2 by 4! One of the bolts snapped off holding the brake assembly on. Had just enough to put vise grips on it. Put never seize on the replacement bolts.

👍😁

I’ll be doing a full brake job soon on it.

Thank you.

That is the length of the spring to 1.5 inches.

Awesome feedback.. Thank you for that information I'm sure it is greatly appreciated by the community... And as always thank you for watching 👍😀

Thank ya

Harry Simons haha. Yeah man that’s my buddy Emmett. He’s a good guy.

Your model number should be under your hood. I’d check with a lawn mower shop in your area. Or look on Facebook for people that repair them. They may have a junk mower with the parts you need. 👍😁

I find my parts from the owners manual. I went online and googled the owners manual then downloaded it to my computer. It has part numbers to make it easier to find replacements. eBay and Amazon are great placed to find them. But parts direct .com is another good one.

eBay or Amazon would be a great place to start. Look up your owners manual online using the serial numbers. Then find your part on Amazon or eBay.

😁👍

+Kevin Taylor thank you hope it helped

Good question. I’m not sure about that model. Most all lawn tractors that look like the one I’m working on is basically the same.

Thanks for the advice

Doug B blahahaha. I knew something didn't seem right

On Amazon Use this link amzn.to/2IlpQta

Not sure about any videos.

@@VansWorld Thank you. Would you know what it is that makes the parking brake lever stay in the set position when the brake is applied and the lever is raised? Mine won't stay locked in place.

Figured it out. The plate that the parking brake handle goes through was bent. Didn't see it until the fuel tank was removed. Used a long ratchet extension and hammer to bang it back down. Didn't matter how hard I was pushing the brake down. The knob on the parking brake handle wasn't going to catch on the notch in the plate. Did learn how to change the brakes watching this video though. Thanks!

Any thing specific on the solenoid?

Awesome tips and tricks. Thank you for sharing them.

heath schwab 👍😁

Great advice. Thanks. I’ve got some copper anti seize. I’ll put some on it I appreciate the advice 😁👍

😂😂😂😂 I love it!!! Simple is the best way 👍😁

I wish I had some advice for you. I’m really not sure about that one. Sounds like your rear end is locking up. That’s just a guess though.

@@VansWorld I was able to look at it more and what it's actually doing is one wheel goes forward and one goes reverse when you try to spin them. So it's like the wheels move opposite of each other.

Steven Kutsenkow hmmm now I’m curious to investigate mine to see if it does the same thing. I know my truck does the same thing when the rear end is jacked up.

Steven Kutsenkow actually it seems to me like it’s still in gear.

@@VansWorld I thought that. I tried every gear and it didn't change. I have it in neutral. I just got it running again and might try to start it to see how the wheels turn then. Pretty sure it doesn't do that when it's running. I will say my old mower was a hydrostat transmission and there was a lever you would pull in the rear to be able to push it. This current mower is a manual and there's no release lever in the rear.

amber & jon homestead oh girl if I had to push mow my yard I'd have a heat stroke. 👍😁 lol

Try a local lawnmower repair shop. They may have a junk mower they can sell you the part off of it.

@@VansWorld Thank you.

🤔👍😁

@@VansWorld what brand of ride on mower with a rear bag would you recommend? I currently have a castlegarden 140hd but not providing enough power. I was looking at some Husquavarna, what do you think? Thanks
