If you follow Paul's advice, and still no pedal, be sure to adjust the brake shoes, as described in the manual. If the pads fell off a shoe, you can't possibly have the correct adjustment, so get that fixed. If the pads are worn (or missing, as in this case) you are taking up the "slack" with the pedal, and the pedal will go to the floor, without engaging the shoes with the drums enough to stop.
