If it's a 51 3/4, does it have Huck or Bendix brakes? If they're Hucks, possibly the rear shoe is adjusted too tightly. Reversing out of the stall may just be enough to grab the shoe and bind. These brakes are not self adjusting, and have two adjusters per side, turnung in opposite directions.

Gooid luck!

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
