The metal shavings and the basket riding on the bottom of the outer tub is a dead giveaway.
See the two tabs on top of the spin tube, they should be flush with the top to the drive block, the drive block, (a good one), will have two notches that those tabs lock into. Those notches and the whole top of the drive block is gone letting the drive block and tub slide down the spin tube and no longer spins.
When you install a new drive block make sure the two tabs on top of the spin tube are not bent in, if they are it will eat up a new drive block in no time at all. Just use a small tappered chisel and tap it in between the agitator shaft and each edge of the tabs using the new drive block, (turned up side down so you don't have to keep taking it back off), to judge when you have them back out in the correct position. Make sure you get the spanner nut back on good and tight also, you really can't overtighten it. If you don't get it good and tight that will cause a failure of the new drive block also.
