The tractor has been sitting for a year and the gears won't shift. I did manage to start the tractor and bang the rod with a hammer to get it from forward to reverse, but now it's stuck in reverse and won't bang out of it. Suggestions?
I would get a big spray can of penetrating oil and spray everything associated with the shift linkage all the way to the transmission. Spray several times per day till it loosens up.
You might consider flooding the transmission with the correct fluid to lubricate components above the normal fluid level internally. Do not operate it in this overfilled condition. Drain the excess fluid off before operating once the shift mechanism frees up.

A T-10 has a standard gearshift transmission, 6 forward and 2 reverse (3x1 + hi/lo). You should be able to pull the top cover off of the transmission and see what's stuck. Probably rusted internally.
Just curious if anyone has cracked open one of these transmissions? How hard is it to get back together?
