its very likley that the old rear end was run untill the drums were worn out thus the brake shoes are behind the ridge formed in the drum by them, if you can back the adjusters off you may free the drums once the brake shoes have cleared the ridge in the drum, if there rusted into one solid chunk you wont be able to free it, before going farther id find some replacement drums places like whittney or similer or ebay should net you a pair, once you have the replacements in hand, you can cut the drums off and go from there, im assuming your planning on using the brakes for the tractor, that jeep stuff is out there,years ago i built a '47 we drung up out of a arroyo, i probably had way too much money in that thing, but it was fun, had to search out a ton of parts for that the only other way i can think of is to set the whole rear end on its end in a bucket of wd 40 or some solvent and see if you can get the adjusters working if so, then a good big hammer should shock the rust between the drum and the hub loose and let it come off
