Abstract: A brake noise reduction system (84) which is particularly adapted for use with the hydrostatic transmissions of vehicles such as skid-steer loaders, includes a fixed caliper assembly (86) and multiple brake disc assemblies (66) that are individually connected to the transmission. The caliper assembly (86) includes a bore (96) guiding the brake pucks (98) into selective engagement with the brake disc assemblies (84) responsive to a manual cam actuation. Each brake disc assembly (66) includes a resilient damper ring (152) secured between a retainer plate (154) and a disc plate (150) to reduce rattling of the assembly and help to reduce overall noise of the hydrostatic tranmission. The brake pucks (98) are actuated by a manual lever (132) connected to a rotatable cam (112) associated with an axial plunger (120).
