With the brake pedal pushed down it takes a little effort to turn the fan blades. There is absolutely no free wheeling. And when I release the brake and go in forward or reverse I see no change in fan speed. So, I assume the tractor is scrap?

The only thing that alters fan speed is the speed of the engine via the throttle.
The fwd/rev pedals vary the speed and direction of the tractor by altering the flow of fluid inside the transmission, regardless of fan speed.

The fan speed NOT atlering means the belt is not slipping...correct? Should the fan turn freely by hand? Mine does not. It takes a couple of fingers to turn it.

I'm having a hard time understanding why you are so obsessed about the fan.
You cannot spin it with the flick of a wrist like you could the blades of a window fan. You are trying to spin a pump full of oil inside of there.
Unless you are Superman with super vision I don't know of anyone that could look at a v-belt spinning many hundreds of RPM and tell you it is slipping.

Obviously obviously the belt may not be slipping until you put a load on it and then it slips. I don't know how you can apply the load to the hydro of putting the tractor in motion and at the same time view the belt and be able to tell that it is slipping.

Normal procedure to shoot a problem (for me at least) is to assume that the things that are expected to wear out (such as a v-belt) have worn out, and you can't always tell by looking at them.. Your description of your problem in your opening post would make me suspect the obvious. You were asked in post #8 when the belt was last replaced but you didn't answer. Persue the fan spinning method if you choose, I'm done.

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.
