Hello Steve:

You can View a Breakdown of the Transaxle at this Site Addy; http://www.m-and-d.com/dana_foote_parts.html and Scroll Down to the View Dana/Foote Parts Diagram Window. Now Scroll in this Window to your Model Transaxle. This Unit has a Dana/Foote Transaxle Model 4360-7 and the Correct Part Number for the Friction Puck (Brake Pads) is Foote #3907 and is $5.88 a Set @ Outdoor Distributors. You can Contact them @ http://www.outdoordistributors.com/ or you can Call them at 1-877-707-2787. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. Have a Happy Holiday Season and May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Be Safe and Happy. Thanks.

Good Luck
