Are you sure it isn't a broken return spring in the hand brake assembly? The
drag on one of the brake shoes will slow you down but not necessarily stop
you. Check for oil dripping from the bottom of the hand brake drum. That's
if it is a broken return spring and if it's been going on long enough to cook
the rear output shaft seal.
