The Ford Barn

I noticed that tonight that as I was moving the A a little distance that at low speed/ or idle movement that is would stop quickly. Like I had the E-brake on.

So I jacked up the front of the car to check the brakes. No problem, spin freely. No hangups. Then I jack up the rear, no e-brake and out of gear. Drivers side spins good, made a small adjustment. Passenger side, spin forward okay (some resistance), backwards not at all!

So I'm thinking the rear pass. brakes are hanging up. I have not pulled the drum as of yet, but will tomorrow.

Any thoughts from the brains at Forn Barn? New to the model A's.
