international 50 locking up

[Wolfish]

I have an older international 50 and it is locking up well before strike setting mark.
I am aware that to normally adjust lever drags they should be lever in freespool before turning master dial.
Any body have any idea whats going on and how to fix?

Wolf; Do you have an exploded diagram of the reel? If not here

You'll have to open it to inspect the drag components.
