That is common on the AR's of that time frame. They have a unique gear setup that is not like any other model that I have came across. To get it to shift to those spots you have to get the gears aligned correctly for the lever to move and if not running you could with clutch dissengaged turn the pully by hand untill the gears would hit the correct spot and lever move (would work better with 2 people).

Then it would align the gears and thay would slip into place. Ours was a 1950 model, first year for that transmission and only use for 3 years in the AR then for a bit in the low seat 60 tractor, high seat had a different setup. If not in perfect alignment it would jump out of gear. Tractor has been gone for 25+ years.
