BRAKE SHOE C/W LINING (Leading)
Leading brake shoe with lining for the rear drum brake, also known by its legacy number W3873.
This is the leading brake shoe complete with lining for the rear drum brake setup, as shown in the rear wheel figure in the parts book. It's the shoe that sits on the leading side of the drum, part of the pair that does the actual stopping work when the brake cam pushes the shoes out against the drum surface.

The legacy alias for this part is W3873, so if you're working from an older parts book or a part pulled off a bike years back, that's the number you may find stamped or listed instead of 37-3873. Either way it's the same physical shoe.
