how can I stop brakes sticking on a JCB 3CIII ?

I have a 1979 JCB 3CIII Powertrain (build /5). When trying to manoeuvre at low speeds, the brakes lock on. The only way to free them is to change direction (reverse) briefly at which point a loud "clunk" is heard and they free themselves. What should I be looking for / checking / replacing to overcome this?
