1947 RTU brakes

Last fall I was plowing with the R and had trouble keeping it out of the furrow the brakes seemed weak.The left side would not grab at all. I jacked it up and adjusted the 3 adjusting bolts and had some drag on them. I know the early R's had weak brakes. Any ideas? I'm going to take them apart and see if its oil on the linings or if something else is froze up. Thanks Jeff
 
Its probably oil on the linings. If its the early style, there's only one disk and not a lot of leverage to apply it.
