If the lever is down, the valves are likely stuck in that position and the tractor should be able to be moved.
At this point, all bets are off.
Sorry to hear about the fellows problems here.
Wish I could offer more help.
For $750 you should be able to purchase a running mowing Cub w/little or no issues other than cosmetics.

I'm not out anything, and I'm in no rush. I have a Cub Cadet GT 2000, but I always wanted an IH Cub Cadet. I'll keep looking. I like the 123, 127, 147, 109, 129, 149, and 169. They come up often in my area, so something decent will eventually pop up.

The owner said the fluid is full. But the filter looks to be extremely old. The tractor cannot be pushed or pulled. Buying this would be difficult at best as I couldn't load it. What do you guys think is the problem and is it worth buying? The tractor looks clean and taken care of, but $750 is really too steep. Any suggestions or advice?
On a 123 you have to push down to release the valves so it can roll.

Gee.... I'm offended. What's wrong with a 125?

I'm also entertaining the idea of going green (I can't believe I said it) and getting a John Deere 430. Those tractors are amazing.

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.
