There's nothing very complicated about the brakes. You just need to get under there, take them apart, see what's wrong, and fix it.
Just cleaning them up probably won't fix the problem. Either the pinion seals are leaking badly and the brakes are all slicked up with oil, or the brake disks are worn out.

Either way you're going to need parts to fix the problem, and unless you have a CaseIH dealer nearby, there is no way you will have the parts in hand to fix the problem by the day after Christmas.
New brake disks and a cleaning should give her SOME brakes, but they may not work well even then. It may be necessary to machine down the brake covers.
