Do you have a torch? If you heat the drum in close proximity to the hub it will probably loosen up with a few blows from behind. Sometimes you need to heat it to expand the steel and let it cool and do it a second time.
You probably can get away with Propane torch or better yet MAPP gas if you don't have acetylene torch.

I should say that my experience is with car brake drums and not carts but I beleive it to be the same.
