The pilot said her landing in the tail wheel airplane was uneventful. During the landing roll, the airplane suddenly veered to the left while in a 3-point attitude. The pilot said right rudder did not stop the turn and the airplane ran off the runway edge and into a 4-foot deep ditch. The on-site investigation revealed that the left main landing gear's brake torque plate holes and torque pins were dry. The wheel would not rotate. According to the pilot, she had never experienced dragging brakes while flying the airplane.
Probable Cause: inadequate lubrication of the torque plate holes and torque pins by the mechanic who performed the airplane's last annual inspection.
