Hi micka,i have a mtd and pretty sure they are the same,just bought a new blade belt for mine(a66-$26.00)the blade brake pads are a good idea so when you lift the deck the top of the belt pulleys*2 there is a round smooth part that bolts on with the pulley and this rubs on the pads to stop the blades.the rear (diff)disc brake is adjustable as is the clutch rod for the drive belt.in the manual section it explanes how to adjust parts of the mower...ken i can take pics if you need
