Yes, fifth works. When engaging fifth, the IH slider only has to travel about 1/4". There is full Elwood gear mesh in that gear along with the other gears except 4th. The Elwood gear is slightly wider than the 4th/5th slider. Four wheel drive 4th gear will move the tractor if one moves the IH shifter back slightly out of the detent. In that case only partial contact with the countershaft and Elwood sliding gear is possible. Not recommended and difficult to do.
TA four wheel drive also works in R, 1, 2, 3, and 5. My TA planet gears have been welded to the carrier so I am unable to do that.
Usually, I only run the tractor in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. When I was plowing snow last winter, I put it in 4th because I wanted to see how far I could send the snow bank.
The shifter was previously repaired and built up with brass. It will be difficult to make another repair on that stick. I am also wondering if the Elwood sliding gear pushed the IH gear backwards while trying to shift into 4wd. Now that I know what everything looks like, I be better able to diagnose any future problems without turning a wrench.
