This is a common problem with all 4 of my Farmalls from time to time if I try to force them out of gear, the end of the shifting lever wears over time and if to much pressure is applied it will slide out of the notch in the shifting forks. All that you need do is block the rear wheels to take the pressure off gears, remove the three bolts holding the shift lever tower on, lift the tower off, make sure the area around the tower is clean so that you don't get anything down in the forks, now move each fork with a large screw driver to the center position, finally inspect the shift lever for wear, if needed weld a couple of beads on the end and grind to match the shape of the level. Install the tower making sure that the end of the lever slides smoothly but isn't sloppy any more.
Spent three hours rebuilding the tower on my 300 Famall this weekend as the pin threw the lever had pop one of the plugs that held it in place and it got lost and the lever needed to be a little longer. Good luck, Larry.
