Brake anchor plate
Rear brake anchor plate for the drum rear brake assembly, superseded by 37-3857.
This is the rear brake anchor plate, listed in the catalog under REAR WHEEL. It's the plate that carries the fixed end of the rear drum brake assembly, holding the brake shoes and backing plate steady against the torque of braking rather than letting the whole brake mechanism spin with the wheel.

The catalog shows this part appearing across 1971 to 1972 listings before the factory moved on to 37-3857 as the replacement number. If your parts book still lists this as W3856, that's the older reference for the same physical plate. If you're ordering to replace one on the bench, it's worth checking the newer 37-3857 number too, since that's what the factory superseded it with.
We don't have a lot more written down on this one beyond the figure it comes from and the supersession. Give us a call if you want to confirm it matches what's on your hub before you order.
