| Can't back up
I have a 1970 International that I just removed from storage after 9 years of sitting. I'm sure there are a host of issues related to the brakes alone, and I've seen the recommendation to just replace the entire axel assemblies, but focusing on the immediate problem what would cause the brakes to resist rolling backward? There was no battery installed, and no electic brake controller attached. The pig tail connecting tow vehicle to trailer was attached for turn signals and brake lights.
On the larger issue of replacing the axels - how does one tell when that's the best course of action? Is it just cheaper, assuming drum brakes are used, or are there other issues related to the suspension?
