I am not up on all of the "new" models. If this one has the shifters that come out the top sides of the transmission. Right under the gear shifters that are beside your legs. This type of shifter has had an issue from day one with the shifter boots leaking water. Then that water just lays there in the shifter pivot/linkage. Over time the water will either rust the shift linkage or as in yours just turn to ice and not allow the shifter to move.
Look under the operators platform and see if the shifter boots look cracked or loose. They maybe good and they still can leak if the tractor is pressure washed off. IF it is below freezing try heating this area with a hand held heat gun(hair dryer if you do not have a heat gun) and see if it will shift after you thaw it out. If it does then you need to replace the shifter boots for a long term fix. For the short term you need to get some type water displacing lube in the shifter. This is where WD-40 shines. It will displace the moisture.
The best cure is new shifter boots and then not letting the tractor set out side in the weather. If you do wash it off then lube the shifters when you are done. I just pull the boot back at the bottom and use an old style oil can and pump a few squirts of oil in the shifter cavity.
These boots crack with age not hours. The ones on my JD 5210 will not last 3-4 years and they are shot. I quit replacing them as it stays under roof all of the time when not in use. I oil the shifter linkage very time I change the oil.
The issue is cause by the fact that the transmission oil does not get throw up into this area like most transmission do. The shifter is mainly out side the transmission. You can see this in the parts break down.

Today's Featured Article - Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
