A few things that come to mind, stuck brakes, transmission not in neutral (I know but I have to say it), transmission messed up internally or seized bearing.

If its out of gear and the brakes aren't locked (at the peddle) it should roll if its in N like any other manual tranny. N will be really obvious by shifter feel.

If you are lucky the brakes are seized.

Looks like the brake peddle is all the way "to the wood" in the pictures so you may luck out. Pick it up manually and see what happens.

edit: derrr... I originally mentioned clutch but that shouldn't matter...

If you are lucky the brakes are seized. Slightly less lucky? The clutch is completely roasted. It gets worse from there (IMO).

Don't think it will be clutch issue, drive shaft doesnt spin in neutral when pushed. Yup, just saw pedal locked down too, probably start there

You slightly beat me to myself. Thanks for the correction.

edit again: Could a blown up clutch hold the brake linkage down though?

It looks like you are into the NF's especially the specific late 60's early 70's hydro series pretty well. I will say you might want to give it some time, and that I was in the same boat, got a 108, wasn't a fan of the different styling and features, wide frame,at first, but they will grow on you quickly. It can be your black sheep tractor, I say keep it, Looks good.

Your brake setup should be like mine,external brakes and disc on the axles,maybe they are rusted to the pads,few wacks with a LBFH and it may free it up,otherwise the linkage that runs through the front of the tranny is froze up where it passes through the gear reduction housing

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
