Good info, thanks very much. I'm not messing with it then. I put the new pad (puck) in the "caliper" adjusted the nut and at least it stops now

Thank you.

Thanks for your response, much appreciated! I'm a tinkerer with no background in this stuff. So, when you say manual, I am thinking you mean I have to depress the clutch/brake to shift gears? If so, yes. The mower was bought in 2001 or so. I'll send pics as soon as i can. I've done brakes on...

Hey Everyone. I'm new to the forum. Doing brakes on Craftsman 917.288110 with a transaxle and I cannot get the brake disc off. I've tried soaking it in penetrating oil, banging on it and nothing. Any ideas? The pad behind the disc is protruding and I can't get that to move in either. Thanks
