The tractor is in whatever foward gear, and any time you try to shift it into another gear, you end up with the tractor in two gears at once.
Search on "stuck in two gears" and you will find a plethora of knowledge and discussion on the subject.
What happened is the end of the shifter is worn, and you moved the shift lever "diagonally" instead of straight back, and slipped the shift lever out of the fork before the tractor was out of gear.
The shifter needs to be removed from the tractor so you can reach down in with a large flat screwdriver and pry the three shift rails back into their neutral positions.
If you can't build the shift lever back up right away, just be careful shifting. Deliberately move in a straight-forward, straight-back motion from a gear to neutral, then straight side-to-side to select a different pair of gears. Make it a habit and you won't need to worry about fixing it. Pretend someone is going to throw a rock at your head if you screw it up and you will learn quickly. Ask me how I know.
