>>He deppressed the clutch with one hand and shifted it to neutral with the other. The shifter came to neutral but the tractor was still in first. He had apparently pulled the shifter off to the side as well as toward neutral when he shifted it. If your tractor is prone to this problem, shift it straight in and out of gears.<<

Lee,
when I run my tractor, knowing how hard parts are to get, I am very careful about shifting. We had a guy here putting sand down for a new pad we were having put on the driveway and he was too lazy to shovel (even though we paid him "labor")

He asked to use the tractor, which I tried to discourage by telling him it was low on fuel but he checked the fuel!! I'm a softy and said to go ahead and use it then. I believe he didn't press down all the way on the clutch and didn't wait for the gear to disengage before he shifted to another gear.
Sorta ticks me off, but I learned a lesson and that is how to say NO!
:)
