The transmission design is relatively simple, with 2 gear sets to shift, allowing for 3 forward speeds plus an idler gear for 1 reverse speed. Realistically the stuck transmission shouldn't have to do with these gears themselves, unless it happens to be stuck in a gear. To check that simply pull the top cover on the transmission where the shift lever is, look at the shifter forks (there's 2, one on each side) and make sure they both are in the center (neutral). If one isn't in neutral attempt to move it out of gear by hand.

Now it is possible that one of the 2 tabs that she shift lever slides into in order to shift the gears has broken off completely, or bent far out. They are particular weak points in the transmission, and mainly break when someone tries to force the tractor into a gear. They can be welded to add strength and keep them from bending/breaking in the future. The pic below is the shift fork area beneath the top cover. I have labeled front/rear and the tabs that I am talking about. It also shows where they should be in order to be in neutral.

Attachment 106831

If both are in neutral and everything still will not turn freely, you could be dealing with a stuck bearing, which may require tearing further into the transmission to remove and replace it. Hopefully not, though!

Here's the manual for the 70/100 tractors from the tech section: https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/c...ervice+Man.pdf
Got into it and looked before touching. My tabs are not centered like that, but they are intact. So, it appears this one is stuck in a gear or partway there. Time for some wiggling!
The transmission section of that manual looks identical to the one for my 122's, as are the numbers molded into the metal of the housing.
I hope it's not a stuck bearing, too! I suppose, though, with the muck that was in this when I pulled the drain plug and rearmost seal, it's possible. But wouldn't a stuck bearing cause it to not turn at all?

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.
