hard to say - but I can tell you the brake mechanism is pretty simple.
adjust the looseness out of the linkage, and if they still don't work - you've got to pull them.
very common to have the seals leak oil into/onto the brakes. especially if the trans is overfilled - which is also just as common.
You need brakes - so rip it apart. You'll find it's a lot of work, but not all THAT bad. Just be very careful with blocking up the tractor - follow the manual's procedures.
if you don't have a manual, get one.
If you get the brakes out and there's plenty left to them and just oily - set them on fire with a torch - burn off all the oil and they'll be fine. Otherwise reline them.
the way the final drives come off might sound a little complicated, but will make perfect sense once you do it. Hard to screw up.
They are heavy - you can use a cherry picker to hold them - but they CAN be done by hand if you don't have a bad back. But I recommend the cherry picker.
