As the title implies, I have a 99 cup cadet 7300 with about $800 on it, I was moving Equipment around today with it and I noticed while backing up I was getting a metal on metal sound. Kinda like when you hear your brakes grinding…
I use the loader to lift the front end up off the ground and turned the front axle both directions and cannot replicate the sound.
My thought is, could it be the BRAKES?
IF it is the BRAKES, can you even buy the brakes for them?, Anybody done them or have an idea on how to do them.

I’m thinking about jacking up the back end off the ground and turning the wheels and seeing if I can replicate the sound that way.. I noticed the sound seems to be more prevalent backing up and if I’m going faster while backing up.
