Welcome to the 460. My guess is the shift forks/mechanism wear to a point then no longer clear the last gear you were in.
My solution was not a fix but a work around. Keep your screwdriver handy and weld washers on the bolts that hold the shifter down so they're easier to get out.
Try to be REALLY careful whe you shift, and make sure you get to nuetral before you go to the next gear...it's easier to get out if you don't jamb it into two gears.
You can try another shifter from a dead tractor but this is really common, and the other tractor may have the same problem.
The shifter would be fairly simple to rebuild IF you can find the parts. Being careful as you shift will help for quit a while. Just keep the screwdriver and wrench under the seat.

Good Luck........Mike
