I dropped a half-inch washer into the left brake housing. What are the chances if it riding around in there without getting into trouble? I fished around a while with a magnet but got no bites! What do you think, should I go to the work of pulling the axle housing off and take the washer out making sure it doesn't get into trouble?

most that "should" happen is it jambs where you have no brakes on that side, or it could get wedged in the shoe and drum and mess them up.
Jack it up, remove the clutch rod and ease the housing away, might get lucky and it fall right out.
If you pull it on off, be sure to replace the axle seals

I"d put an air nozzle to a port an maybe you could rattle it around enough to come out the bottom hole.
I already checked, the drain hole in the bottom of the housing isn't big enough to accommodate a 1/2" flat washer. If I could see the washer through that hole, I wouldn't feel too bad in just leaving it there for I'd feel pretty sure that it's likely to stay in that vicinity and not cause trouble.
I'm thinking it might need seals anyway for when I came to drain the transmission oil, I found it way low. Maybe this was done intentionally by the guy who sold it to me to keep the oil from running out the axle seals.
I have a long story about the corner of a garage that got damaged right after I topped off a Sherman-overdrive-equipped Ford 9N transmission!!!!

it is very likely that it is just sitting on the bottom and wont cause you any problems at all, but if i were u i would i would crack it open, for two reasons. for one it may cause you a problem and then cost you money while cracking it open now is free, and two those housings collect a lot of dirt and it may be worthwhile to clean it out...
