Thanks soooo much for the info and ideas guys! I have confirmed that it's definitely the brake that is stuck!

I tried the chalking the loose wheel idea to no avail, WOT on the engine and the stuck wheel will not budge. Unbolted the axle and confirmed that is spins freely.

Any other ideas on how to break this thing free?
