Well, Wrenchbender, I gotta hand it to you. You were right. I adjusted all 8 shoes so they have a heavy drag on the drum, and now the brakes work fine. Problem solved. I'll back them off just a tad and then should be good to go. On to the next task....cleaning out the cooling system and replacing gaskets and hoses.
