Every thing looks to be there and looks in good shape. When you engage the blades that rid pulls the brake away from the pulley so something has to be on the back side to keep it in place. Some times there will be a clip and washer. Some rods just have a bend in them or two tabs to hold a washer in place.
Give me your model numbers and we can find a pic of how it goes. Or you can just take the rod and the brake off of that side but let's try and fix it first and keep it safe.
