Yes the disconnect lever has a hole slotted to edge that should be drilled. Lever has a shaft that goes through plate with another short lever inside that slides a drive dog on splines.
Probably the shaft or inside lever is twisted or damaged and thats probably from worn or damaged drive dogs wanting to slide the dogs out of mesh. Seasonal disconnect shifter parts won't handle the pressure.
Could find a solid splined coupling inside replacing the dogs. Some don't bother to remove all the shifter parts when replacing the dogs.
Not hard to remove plate and see whats up but oil needs drained. Any replacement other than shifter parts requires split.
Pin and connecter link releases the T/A clutch when main clutch pedal is pushed down. Unless the rollers, pins and springs are completly shot or removed from the T/A unit, bind up and hard gear shifting is the result of the linkage not adjusted and operating correctly.
May want to make sure the engines is okay before worry about the other parts. Suspect you probably end up with a internal T/A clutch repair or maybe a complete center section removal to get every thing repaired.
For the howling maybe the first check would be to see if oil is in the pto unit. Or if the seasonal disconnect will disconnect it, see if that stops it. Then go from there.
Forgot to say sometimes you can find the seasonal disconnect dogs welded together.

The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
