Farmall M won't go into 1st gear or reverse gear, Why ?

Posted by Dick Archer on May 08, 2009 at 08:04:38 from (76.102.172.110):

I need some help and advise regarding my '51 Farmall M. I was discing my off-camber field when my tractor got stuck in an off camber depression. I unhitch from the disc, moved up onto level ground and pulled the disc out with a chain (connected to the drawbar). I reconnected the disc and pulled up hill while turning the rig around. It was then that I noticed I could not get the tractor into 1st gear, or reverse gear.
The shifter will only move sideways between 2nd-3rd and 4th-5th. Can anyone tell me what went wrong and how I can fix it without taking the entire top of the transmission housing off?

Thanks in advance.
