Hello and welcome to the forum.

Was any work done on the brakes?

A clogged return orifice in the reservoir and it isn't returning the fluid.

What color is the fluid? Milky? Yellow? If so it was never changed and that would also be the same for the hydraulic clutch.

Hi Al and Welcome to Trike Talk

Trike Lady has you covered here

If after bleeding the brakes you still have the problem Replace the master cylinder

Too often from neglect the old fluid can cause the internal bore to lose free travel ( fluid caught in between the piston seals) this fluid cannot complete the return thru the compensator port thus slowly locking the brakes up
