You may find that the brake pads are fine, the 2 push pins in the caliper that push the outer pad against the disc may be siezed up.
Freeing the pins up will involve taking the caliper off.....It is held by 2 long slender screws that are easy to shear off ( as I found out :(........ ) so plenty of penatrating oil before you start heaving on the spanner.

Not familliar with this particular model, but if it has a transaxle-mounted disc brake, it can be adjusted by tightening up the 13MM or 1/2" nut in the centre or the brake assembly.

If it IS this type, replacement brake pads are available.
