We need either a drum brake system or a hydraulic brake valve.

Our current Drum: http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?catname=hydraulic&item=9-9003

Options for drum brake:

Fits our drum, but costs $560 : http://www.jegs.com/i/Currie/272/96226/10002/-1?parentProductId=756792

Does not fit, but demonstrates that there may less costly options: http://www.surpluscenter.com/item.asp?item=28-1324&catname=

Options for hydraulic brake valve:

Still need to determine price and circuit : http://www.hydrotech-bg.com/common/d_images/src/file/PDF/E4-ACCESSORIES.pdf - See Overcenter valves with brake control
