how to add brakes???

how do i add brakes to my transaxle? i originaly bought it and it didnt have brakes on it on the mower. previous owner took everything apart. so i dont have the stock brake setup

the little shaft sticking out the one sidein the front of the tranny is where stock brakes go you should be able to find a caliper and brake disc on ebay for fairly cheap.

i dont know the model for my transaxle. their is no label on it. :/ i have another transaxle. its a hydro. do you think the brake should swap from that one?

no you can not change out the brakes with the hydro

Doesnt hurt to try. I think the calipers are made the same. Otherwise it gets very expensive.

hmmm ok ill try and swap it first. if not ill try and modify a mechanical brake mount to my frame

i actually have 2 transaxles to try the brakes from hopefully 1 works

well it works but i need better brakes and a way to have a seperate pedal or lever for my brakes

here is how mine is set up, i got a caliper and rotor off of a pocket bike i had and took the factory lawnmower rotor and bolted it to the new rotor, then i made a bracket to mount the new caliper to and added a bicycle brake handle to the floorboard. heres a few pics.

yea im debating on doing that with a mechanical brake seeing your picture and maybe a bicycle handle on my shifter

Ya I like the idea of the handle on the shifter better than mine

well im putting a real gas pedal on my mower. so i wouldnt have room anyways. plus it will add leverage to the shifter

Ya it might get a little sketchy when u accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake

haha yea. i just hope having a gas pedal works out how i want it. im tired of the hand throttle

Ya it gets old going one speed, and I've seen the gas pedals work before so you should be good
