I'll ask a few questions to try to help you out. Is it in all gears? Possibly the problem is not in the transmission. It could be the clutch is dragging, putting a bind on the gears so you can't shift it easily. Is the engine idled down and running slow when you try to shift or is it running fast? Folks who didn't grow up on two cylinder Deere's tend to run the engine fast at all times because they aren't used to a slow running engine. When the engine is running fast the clutch wants to engage itself for lack of a better explanation. If you haven't already done so, pull the throttle back to an idle and then try shifting.

When it is in neutral at any engine speed does the clutch pulley want to turn on it's own without engaging the clutch? Do you have to pull back on the clutch lever fairly firmly to stop the pulley from spinning when it is in neutral? If the pulley wants to turn on it's own while the tranny is in neutral something is dragging inside the clutch and in turn putting pressure on the tranny gears making them hard to shift.

If the clutch is fine and loose and not dragging then either the gears aren't sliding well because of rust or lack of lubrication or the shift forks aren't sliding well for the same reasons. My guess is it's either in the clutch pulley or the shift forks. Let us know what you find just for our own curiosity. Jim

Oh yes, one more thing, the clutch brake could be set up too tight so it's holding the clutch lever in a slightly engaged position. When the clutch is pulled the brake pad should be a certain distance from the pulley but I don't have that measurement at hand right now.
