Have you adjusted the brake valve at the pedal.You want to have a loose pin when brake pedal is against platform. Actually the book always called for adjusting the valve out until pin was just loose(beginning to pull valve stem out of brake valve) and then tightening it a half turn or so but I prefer a loose pin so you always know where you are at. You can easily tell if hydraulic pressure is what is causing your brake to drag by opening the bleeder when running and driving and if it does not drag then it is valve related, if it still drags it is mechanical inside of brake itself. I always use a hose and run the fluid right back into tractor dip stick hole so you can do these tests with out making a mess. Brake valves have been known to have a screw back out inside and keep them from releasing. As these brakes have self adjusters inside of the brake drum itself that is another issue . At any rate, you have to determine that the discs are free with some clearance internally. You can jack wheel up off ground also to tell if dragging when not running. Lot of different ways to approach this.
