Do what the neighbor did - it's not hard. (1) Block the wheels and make sure pressure is off the transmission - you don't want it rolling on you when it comes out of gear. (2) Remove shift boot. (3) Look for the snap ring holding the gearshift down inside the shift tower. Use a flat screwdriver to remove it. (4) remove shift lever gently. There are some spring loaded pins (one side or both sides of the lever) that fit in the grooves on the shift lever ball - just don't want these to fall into the tranny. (5) Use a flashlight and look inot the shift tower. If it's stuck in first look toward your left. You'll need a large scredriver or small pry bar. Move the shift collar back up to the middle so it's in line with the rest. (6) If you can do so *safely*, gently roll the tractor back and forth by hand to make sure it's out of gear. If the shift collar is in the center it will be out of gear, though. (7) reassemble the gear shift. The shift collar will make sense when you look in there. Remember, you move the gear shift to the left and up to get into first, so the part of the lever that is down in the tranny moves to the right and down. That's why you're looking to thr right side and trying to move the shift collar up. Hope that helps - it's not definitive but it gives you the general idea. Be careful, be safe, don't let the tractor roll over you. Use blocks!
