check the brake shoes and the drum condition.
I've had the stopping material separate from the aluminum backer on one end of the shoe.

Rim for true, spokes for frozen/ uniform tightness, rust build-up/pitting. center spacer for presence & tauntness, cush drive to hub spacer for presence. shoes for lining/cracks. brake cam for clean/lube/wear.brake panel for proper bolt/washers/nut cotter. stay arm for same.
