Cub Model 70 - Engine Runs but won't move....

All -
Thanks in advance for any help on my questions. I have a 1964 Model 70 that belonged to my Father. Since buying a house with 1.5 acres, my Father gave me his enitre arsenal of lawn equipment!
The engine runs great and it was overhauled/restored about 10 years by some prisoners at the State Pen where my brother taught woodshop. (That's another story) It hasn't been run in years and we got the engine started and working well. However, when I put it in gear, the tractor moves but then comes to a stop. When I depress the brake, it "engages" and moves forward - but only with the brake half depressed.
Although I haven't really been able to dig into the problem, I woudl say know enough to get myself in trouble. Where should I start?
