You REALLY only need a wheel chock like that for a HYDRO, They tend to sneek away unless you shut the engine off and park with one end or the other against a tree or building. With a gear drive, just shut the engine off and put it in gear and it stays put.
JPrattico where are the parking brake on a hydro? Don’t laugh. I’m serious.
The brake pad is in the pics I posted.I know about the Parking brake
He showed a pic of a 1450.Well it depends on the age of the tractor actually. The older hydros (123, 105, and 125) have an internal brake setup, similar to those on the gear drive tractors of the same eras (except the Original, which had a band brake setup). The internal brake setup is seemingly notorious for collecting moisture and rusting in place, and then being a royal pain to get un-stuck because of the limited access to the mechanism.

Unfortunately its really hard to photograph the internal setup, so a parts diagram is the best I can do.
From the 1X6 1X7 series and on, all the Cub GT's (gear and hydro, with a few specific exceptions) come with external disc brakes, one for each rear wheel. This same setup is used all the way through the Cyclops series. The disc brakes are much easier to adjust, and much less likely to get rusted stuck. If they do, they are very easily accessible for repair.

Here's my 106 (mid-transmission fluid change), you can see the brake discs and caliper setup. Calipers bolt to the axle tubes and the discs are welded to the axles.
Steve, your 1450 should have disc brakes, however your 122 should have the internal brake.
