Ford 4000 Industrial SOS

Hi all, I just bought a 1964 Ford 4000 Industrial tractor with the select o matic transmission. I bought it from a 60+ year old woman who said it belonged to her 88 year old father who passed away a couple years ago. The tractor was stored in a garage until last week. She was unable to get it running so I bought it as a non runner. Anyway I was told that the tractor will not move unless it is running. Is this true of the select o matic trans.? Is there a way to put it in neutral so that it could be loaded on a trailer? Is there a way to unlock the rear tires? I didn't try anything I thought I would check here first. It is a 4 cylinder gas engine and has a loader on it. Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
 
First of all it is a Select-O-Speed. It's marked right on the shifter housing in plain view.
There is a traction disconnect lever on the left side aft of the running board mounted on a round plate. You remove the lever, turn it over, re-intall it and rotate it about 60 degrees toward the rear. Sometimes it helps to rock the rear tire fore and aft to disengage. If you force the lever rearward it can pop out of place leaving the lever free to rotate but it is disengaged internally from the coupler and doesn't release the drive line.
