It sat in museum 10 years, i knew the shoes been dragging the drums ever since i got it loaded couple weeks ago. I haven't touched the brake pedal yet. Starwheels were stuck solid. It would barely roll so i been driving it on gravel farm path oiling the drums/shoes/everything thru the adjustment openings. Brake drum temp came down to 10 degrees of ambient from a high of 70 degrees above ambient. They were hot. So with all this oiling i tried starwheels 2day but wanted to make sure which way to turn 'em. I got 3 of the 4 starwheels backing off with only a 4 degree increase of drum temp from ambient with that 1 shoe dragging. I'm doing this cause i got to get the drums off to rebuild the cylinders. If i can't turn the wheel/tire jacked up i'm not gonna get the drum off. Right? thx.
