Pulley brake pads

I'd be interesting in hearing what others have attempted to use on their pulley brake pads. I normally just replace them with OEM. But I wonder if something else could be used. Like maybe a whole bunch of duck tape, pieces of rubber or something else.

What have you tried?

Sound like more work then the benefit you would get from it. Maybe if its a part that you can no longer buy and money isn't a problem you can buy brake lining by the roll.

Well I have a lot of external tractor brake band so that is what I use for the ones that I can not get

We're talking about the rubber pads that fit on the arms that stop the deck pulley's when you disengage the mower, right?

I guess of all the mowers that ever came into my shop have I seen brake pads made of rubber. This must of been something made up that you are working on?? Yes you can buy brake lining but it has to be a lot cheaper just to buy the right OEM parts. I guess you can experiment with different materials so let us know how it works for you? I can see that rubber may work but it wouldn't last very long, never tried it.

Almost anything would work for a while, I'm guessing. Because it does rub until you disengage the deck. And then, only for a couple of seconds at a time.

Question is, what to use to get something like rubber to stuck to the metal for at least a few years.

one i got from curbshopping had some rag tied around where the brake pad was. It works. i didnt realize this for about a year and just left it. Being it is not stopping a 15 ton truck 500 times a day, it actually works fine.
