Well it just started today,does everything else but spin. Checked the belt and it's fine and the motor turns the pulley on the bottom,just wonder if maybe we have a transmision problem here or something not as drastic going on.

You need to check all the pulley's to see if one is not turning freely. If one of the pulley's is locked up that will cause the dragging you mention. If they all spin by hand, they all should.
the brake it the drum directly above the transmission pulley it is not intergrated into the trans. in my almost 30 years of repairs in that old and very reliable machine i would find where a article of clothing and floated over the inner tub and has wedged itsefl between the inner and outer tub, their is enough clerance between the tub and tub cover where you could get finger into it and run it around the tub and feel if a piece of clothing is caught. if that isnt the problem then the tub bearing is ceased up and would require repalcing it and the tub seal
When spinning the motor freezes up and will not spin. I released the motor and took off the belt off and the motor ran fine. However the pulley that the belt is also on will not spin the proper direction, only backwards.
you may have a bad bearing in a pulley,could be motor coupling. Take belt off and spin motor shaft and pulley both ways if it's free, then its more than likely not the motor. Now spin the drum with belt off and see if it does the same as with the belt on if it does it has to be a bad bearing or coupling to the drum. hope this helps
Have you checked the motor? Make sure that the motor is turning properly and also make sure that your belt it not to tight. It should have some give in it. If none of that works then look at the main bearing under the pulley on the drum
Does it agitate? If not. Can you see the motor turning? Is it spinning in the center of the pulley? If the motor is turning and pulley is not the set screw on the pulley has worked loose.
Sounds like the brake liner could be broken. When the machine starts to spin, the motor turns in the opposite direction to the wash cycle and causes the bowl to lift off the brake liner and the bowl then spins freely. Either the riser cam is worn/broken or the brake liner is broken. This is quite involved and you may have to call in a tech.
