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?
Very helpful video. Good camera work, good video and audio. Steady camera, nice and clear. No extraneous chatter, time wasted, or music or TV on in the background. Just good concise info well presented. Many thanks!
There is a mistake in this video when it comes to brake pad pressure tension.
The 2 caliber hold down bolts should be tight (not used to adjust tension).
The center bolt with the nylon nut is the tension bolt to adjust the return spring. The return spring tension should be adjusted with this bolt only.
Thanks again brother for helping me out. Brought a new house former owner left his craftsman and i got it running right. Spray the deck like you did. Cut and bagged with it today. Notice the brake weren’t stoping me when I applied them. Hence why im here again on your channel. Thanks again brother. Subbed!
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. 👍😁
I have the exact same mower, did this and now the brakes work. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for the feedback. Have a great Sunday 👍😁
Oh Your great. I am an auto mechanic but had no concept on lawnmowers. You did me Justice… thank you….
I watched your video up to the unit removal about minute 3. Then I disassembled and reassembled my brake - had to unfreeze the dowell pins. Pad looked OK. THEN I noticed on the parts diagram there is an inner pad! Finally I watched your video all the way through. I was wondering why some pads are sold in pairs! Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment. I’m glad this video helped you. Have a great weekend 👍😁
Thanks very helpful. This is the first I’ve seen that very simply explained how to adjust the brakes.
I love the way you flipped the pad just because it had some wear. That's my new life MOTTO. Get ready wife!
Lol man that mower stops on a dime now lol Thanks for watching
Ive adjusted brakes on lost of things before, but never a riding lawn mower, I learned somethin new! Thank you for sharing bud, hope she works better!
Bearded Seabee 82 works a lot better. It wasn't stopping at all.
Thanks this video was definitely a help. I took a picture of the brake setup before working on it, but when I glanced at it later, my picture was inadequate. Your video had the images I needed. Thank you.
Man thanks for having the same model as I came across. This guy messed with these brakes and had the bracket upside down which meant no brakes period. i already had to unseize the motor. Replaced the brake sensor which now works.
No problem. I’m glad it helped you out. Simple fix for ya. Thanks for the comment. It really helps the community to grow here in Vans World. Have a great week and thanks for watching 😁👍
Wasn't able to move forward or backward today. After screwing around with it for a couple hours I discovered that arm was the problem. Wish I had seen this video before I tore all this shit apart. Got it working. Now I see the better way to fix it. I might tear it apart again and make the correct adjustments. Good tips in your video. Thank you.
+dabatte thanks for watching. Please subscribe. Hit the notifications bell. I've got new videos every Thursday and one on the weekend 😁👍
Thanks for the taking the time to upload this. CZcams, Sprockets Garage, specializes in mower modifications. When he needs to replace pads, he uses old automobile pads. Cuts them to size, and installs.
Oh wow. That sounds interesting indeed. Very frugal 😀👍
Good video but too me couple hours playing around. One pin was stuck pretty good. Cleaned off corrosion. Use a little brake grease on pins. My replacement pads were a bit shorter, but seems OK.
Excellent demonstration and the camera views could not have been better. Thanks for clearing up some questions I had. The views and instructions in the manual are horrible.
I’ll be doing a full brake job soon on it.
I think starting with the safety switch for the clutch/brake adjusted then going back to the brake as you have done is the right order. Thanks.
😁👍 thanks
some have a second bolt to lock down the first so it doesn't move. just did this job today. tip from another vid I put anti seize on the little pins so they glide easy & keeps them from rusting, also on the axle because I've seen some videos where they have to heat it up with a torch once it rust.
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. 👍😁
I've got a Craftsman DYS 4500 that I've had about 25+ years now. First time replacing the brake pads today and ran into 2 things. The outer pad is completely gone and the rotor is rusted/seized to the shaft. It push/pulls the entire shaft assembly. I don't access to a torch, so going to try penetrating fluid and a wire brush. I also don't want to use a puller as the rotor is not that thick and am afraid it will bend if excess pressure is applied.
Muchas gracias por la explicación la cual entendí muy bien y así lo arreglaré como usted lo ha hecho en este vídeo...
😀
Excellent video. I needed to fix my brakes and just learned how to do it, with an added tip about turning the pads over
Mine is still going strong. Thanks for watching and for commenting 👍😁
Thank you! You're video was very helpful. Great work.. Thanks again..
👍😁
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 pads closer to the Brake Rotor. Just sand the pads smooth where the rotor cut its grove. Place your shims behind the pads. Lot cheaper than $16+ for 2 new pads
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.
Nice video...very detail explained and camera angle.
" the wheel just slides off"!? I'm surprised MTD doesn't just weld the wheel to the axle to save us wasting time thinking it will come off! Who knew anti- seize paste was so expensive....
Nice repair, I am sure this will help some people out!
PAPA Texas 😁👍
Don't forget the return spring 142431, if it's gone your brakes will keep your mower from moving in neutral (small spring between bracket and bolt head).
Great info. I will be working on this later this week. Cheers!
Good luck. It should be an easy project for ya. 👍😁
Great vid Sir - Just what I needed to fix mine - Thank you
Thanks so much, I’ll be investing my tracker tomorrow.
What did you fix? You turned a brake pad over, and adjusted it with the mounting bolts, which should be tight. The middle bolt is your tension, adjusting bolt. Hope your brakes did not fall off.
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.
thank you for keeping the video up it really gave me the process to fix my brake assembly. I used a thin strip of blue painters tape to hold the outer pad in while bolting it up. I got most of it off after install and what ever was left got scrubbed off. Again, use what we have available and turning the pads around worked for me. TY
that is one thing I need to do on my riding mower. thanks for showing me how.
Jason Williams my brakes work great again.
Wish i saw this one first . Another video had me adjusting the nuts on the rod to 1.5 inches with the emergency brake one. I got good braking doing that!
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 👍😀
I like your helper in back ground
Harry Simons haha. Yeah man that’s my buddy Emmett. He’s a good guy.
Thank you!
thank you for you time god blessyou
We don’t have deep ring spanner’s here in the UK anyone 🙁
Great video.
Thank ya
Great video!
Thank you.
Like to seen how got rear part mower.on the plastic crate
Good Video !! The one I am working on now I can press the pedal all the way down and an it has No effect. Not sure if it is a break issue or it needs a linkage adjustment. Got another riding mower when I press on the pedal about half way down the breaks lock up.
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
Great video!👍
👍😁
Thanks for this great video 👍👍
I appreciate you. Thank you for the great comments 👍😁
Great video very informative
Thank you. 👍😁 thanks for watching. I hope it helps you. Checkout my newest videos. 👍😁
I watched this all the way through & went out to fix my brakes & I didn't have any. Got to looking around & they were on the other side in front of the rear end. I have a YS 4500 hydrostatic drive. Can you make a video on the brakes for it? I can't even figure out how to get to them let alone fix them.
ahh hell Van you done it wrong...your suspose to have extra parts left after you reinstall everything lol...just kiddin bro..great video👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Doug B blahahaha. I knew something didn't seem right
Thank you it helps.
Awesome... Congratulations.... Thanks for the feedback and for watching
A little break cleaner and wd40 wouldn't hurt. And some anti- seize on the spindle makes getting that wheel off a breeze next time.
Awesome tips and tricks. Thank you for sharing them.
Anyway that you could help me out, i bought a little older version but the brake rod wasn't installed and i can't figure out where it attaches to up front. Please help! Lol.
Have the same riding lawnmower, problem not cutting the grass. Any advice, thanks.
Hmmm, attempting to fig out something on my mower. Being a Craftsman LT-1000. Cut and dry my brakes do not work at all. I have not messed with them yet although I do see one pad on disk looks wore. But when I hit the break pedal I do not see any break pad disk movement. What would be some ways to solve and what may be issue?
thanks
😁👍
Good video
+Kevin Taylor thank you hope it helped
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.
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.
Can u do a video on the solenoid
Any thing specific on the solenoid?
Put some neversieze on those pins , and that should help .
Great advice. Thanks. I’ve got some copper anti seize. I’ll put some on it I appreciate the advice 😁👍
hey bud // where can i get the brake assembly it self?/? i need the whole thing ,... can seem to find my model number and the one u have is the exact one i need
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 replaced my pads but my JD LA105 is still not stopping like it should when going down hill. My disc looks very worn but I can not find a replacement. Anyone got any suggestions? Is the disc suppose to be slick and smooth?
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.
I miss my rider should have just out more money ey into it and ide have a way to cut grass. I've gave my card to others to get help to cut don't can't pay big prices. yea no one calls. guess I'm gonna have to figure how to add the wheels and nar to my weed eater to get it cut. I'm not strong enough to walk and hold the weedeater. that sucks cause I used to be so strong. good video god bless
heath schwab 👍😁
Did you have the brake engaged during the repair?
I have a 42" Craftsman tractor similar to the one in this video. My emergency brake won't lock. Is there a video showing how to repair this? When I push the brake pedal down and lift up the lever to lock it, it doesn't lock in place.
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!
Is this the same process for Simplicity 4200 series tractors?
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
Those are the same jack stands I use
😂😂😂😂 I love it!!! Simple is the best way 👍😁
I have a Craftsman LT2000 and it won't allow me to push it to a location I can work on it. The back wheels turn a tiny bit then lock up and just drag. Is there a release somewhere??
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.
Where do you get break pads?
On Amazon Use this link amzn.to/2IlpQta
U know the model number of mower i need to know
That sucks we having mower problems
amber & jon homestead oh girl if I had to push mow my yard I'd have a heat stroke. 👍😁 lol
un peut de lubrifian ne nuirais pas .....
That brake pad seems awfully small to stop a riding mower, my bicycle has bigger brake pads! And it has 4 of them.
My brake wore out and I never even use it🙄
🤔👍😁
@@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
Hi all. I broke my disc brake and i can not find anywhere on the internet. Google, ebay, amazon. No one sells it. Anybody know how to locate this disc brake. Part number ? My lt1000 is 1998, and 917273396 is the serial number. Thanks. 🙏🤞🇺🇲
Try a local lawnmower repair shop. They may have a junk mower they can sell you the part off of it.
@@VansWorld Thank you.
