I forgot to show that there is a 2nd brake pad behind the rotor. They wear significantly less than the outer pad, so I didn't even think to show it! You can pull the rotor forward, and it will pull off of the shaft. Then you can remove the rear pad.

Watched your "How to Fix Riding Lawnmower Brakes" from Aug 26, 2017. Found the video very useful, but have a question. Upon dissembling my brake for JD LA105, the rotor does not want to come off. Is it held with friction and just need to be pried off? Also, the pad does not fully match with the rotor and wonder if the notch that builds after rotor wears the pad away "bottoms out" against the back pad..

Thank u vary much cause I just bought a riding mower today and I went 45miles away I didn't know it didn't have breaks tell I was putting it on the trailer at home me and my wife was shocked the salesman didn't tell us I'm just happy it didn't go flying off the back of the trailer and everyone trusted my strapping abilities cause I use to work for a business with that type of work so I knew what I was doing think god I got home safely and mowing a lawn and came home to find this video about what the hell was going on with the breaks it set outside for two years bought it for 250 only thing I did today was change oil and replace blades and battery now on to break kitvor clean them I want to thank u again and I hit the like button and I'm new to your channel

Yours was the only video that showed to depress the brake pedal. That's the only thing I wasn't doing after watching other videos and not getting it to work. But now I understand and it works!

I am not mechanically enthused... and found this video extremely helpful! Thanks for making it!

Thorough, step by step accompanied with common language a person new to stuck brakes can understand. thank you for teaching

I just bought a trailer for my mower - but it was completely unsafe to have any weight from a trailer pushing it down a hill (heck, it’s been unsafe for a year just by itself to mow) - but getting a tow behind trailer, I knew the brakes had to be fixed. I just got the job done and it’s perfect! Thanks again.

Thanks, Very straight forward and easy to understand

You saved me a hell of a lot of time thank you so much.

Very well done. Simple, clean & concise direction. Thank you very much, you have just freed my day up that much more.

One point..would you want the pad to engage the disc when in the max travel position? If set to engage mid-range there would be additional travel available, in order to be able to apply additional pressure on the disc, if required. Helpful video though.

Great video! Answered almost all my questions!! The one unanswered....If the rotor turns freely, then what stops the tractor?

I think when the little metal strip moves it engages and disengages the pads. Or puts pressure off or on them when you press on the brake pedal.

Dam, the whole contraption on mine came loose so the rods fell out along with the pad and back plate. I wonder where to get new Replacement rods?

My rotor is in bad shape and is discontinued here. Might there be way to source one up there?

Well, I need a bit of help. The rotor on my Dynamark has been on it for 50 years. I can't get it off to change the inner pad. Any suggestions on how to get it off?

Thank for sharing

I have a Weedeater One riding mower that needs new brakes, how many do I have to order

I put new breaks on and they clamp the plate correctly but it still won't stop, could something be stripped out inside the rear

My rotor stops but the tires keep spinning any thoughts

Just curios you did such a wonderful job why not pull the rotor off bust off the rust chunks on both sides and clean it up and pull the pad out and check it ? When you apply the brakes all that rust and pits will chew up the pads

@@EliminatorPerformance if you want to get really technical, with the brake pedal off and the linkage loose. The adjusting locknut, the clearance between pad and the disk should be 0.020" using a feeler gauge

hopefully this works, flipped my mower because the breaks went out

Pins rusted shut and on a hill lost engine power Cracked open my head ER put in 8 staples in my head face scraped up. Knoked me out and I do not know how long. EMT sorta woke me up but due to me going in and out sent me to ER. I was lucky and very stupid. I know the breaks were not right and i did not find out until I almost die. On my riding MTB the pad was good the pins after hammering out were good (filed down till free). I would suggest spraying pins with a silicon or min WD40 every wash and test for pin rust lockup. Anitseszz may work but heavy waterproof grease on the pins is better.

HotRodBriggs 60102 that's a good point, I've done some searching and haven't been able to find anything. Best advice I could give, is look for a model number on your transmission, then go into a small engine shop and ask them to get a disc. You'd need a part number, but would have to get the trans type figured out 1st. Best of luck!

Great point! I think I may have forgotten to show that, usually they don't wear out as quickly as the caliper side pads do. And if you don't remove the rotor (brake disc) then it won't fall out. I believe I inspected it and it was fine, so I think I just left it.

with that model you could drop one notch on the pedal and then it would last longer before you have to readjust
