Make sure the clutch is adjusted properly.
I had a Cub that was like this. If you let out the clutch while it was in neutral, you were screwed. The only way to get it back into gear was to let it grind until everything stopped spinning. Going from gear to gear was fine, but that was because the wheels stopped the transmission from spinning.
In my case, I went in through the clutch inspection hole in the bottom, and made a slight adjustment to the three fingers on the pressure plate, so that they had just a hair more travel.
All I did was loosen the lock nuts and turn the adjustment screws about 1/8 of a turn. Can't remember which direction, though.
The purpose was to get more lift on the pressure plate so that it would release the clutch disk. It worked. No more grinding.
