You forgot to put the axle seal in. There is a new seal called a sure-seal made by Tisco that seals the axle real nice, goes over top of the old seal. The video that YT has on brake repaiar does a great job showing how to put that in and install it.

Shoulda sanded that glaze off the drums.

If you had oil on the pads, you need to clean the inside of the drums real good with brake cleaner. Also, you need to adjust the brakes with the big square stud on the inside of the brake backing plate.

I recently put the Sure Seals on my 46 2N, the old brake shoes still had plenty of pad left so
I cleaned up the surfaces of the drums and the pads as best as I could with brake cleaner and then I used a propane torch to burn the oil out of the pads. It works really well.Sounds like you may just have to adjust them up a little more, if your SURE you got the seals took care of.

Yes - they are known for weak brakes. That said you should be able to lock up both wheels by standing up on the pedals. If not you still have problems.
