With out looking at it myself i am guess ta mating here . (1) could be that the cams are starting to seeze up due to lack of greasing (2) could be that the return springs are not pulling the shoes off the drums (3) could be the pin that goes thru the clevises on the slack adjusters are seezen up and not allowing the brakes to come all the way off . Seen this many times on trucks and trailers that are only used once in a while . When doing a brake job on big tonka toys remember that NEVER SEEZE is your best friend . I also have seen trailer valves that will not let all the air off or leak a little and hold the brakes on just a wee bit . So for shuts and giggles get yourself a three or four pound hammer and a can of your favort panther pee and your coveralls and a pair of vice grips and check them pins first off and make sure that the turn free . Next grease the hello out of the cam bushings.
