Your 530 could have two types of brakes. First simple disc expansion style, second drumb and shoe accuated expansion discs. The first thing I would try is to ride them a bit to remove any corosion on the discs. If it/they, lock up immediately, try doing it in reverse gear. If this doesn't work I would say you will have to remove and disassemble the brakes and inspect for broken springs and rust.

might be a good time to learn.. Guys I have been putting up with my 430 locking the rite brake ever since i got it 5 yrs ago ,, tHE MORE i RUN hER THE LESS PROBLEMS i HAVE , Wet weather makes it Worse , loosening the Brake helped somewhat ,,. never got a-roundTUIT to fix it ,, always change direction if it locks to unlock ,Dont trust that locked s-o-bRAKE for a PaRKING bRAKE !...HAD TO FIX THE FENCE AFTER THE 430 DECIDED TO GO CRUISING WITHOUT ME... I am always careful when holding a load back not to use that brake in hi range .. REALLY needto fix this before someone i love gets on it and takes off OUT OF CONTROL ..
If they are disc brakes, sometimes if the lining is too thin it results in too much space and lets the balls roll too far out of their pockets and they can't go back in, so the brake is locked. Also, the balls get rough from rust build up and don't want to roll. I'm been buying hardened stainless steel balls from McMaster Carr and using thme when I rebuld brakes, so far no problems.
