Remove the shifter tower by unscrewing the three bolts that hold it down.
When you pull the shifter out, you will see three shifter rails. The one on the far right will be out of line toward the rear. Use a heavy screwdriver or small pry bar to bring the slot in that shifter rail in line with the other two. You may need to rock the tractor back and forth to get it to shift out of reverse, or jack the wheel up.
Make sure you block the wheels on the tractor because you will be taking it out of gear and it will be in neutral and could roll away.
Rebuilding the shifter is the permanent fix, but you can use the tractor until you find someone to do the welding for you if you are careful using the shifter, and you know how to fix it when it happens again.
Shift at right angles, not diagonally. People make the mistake of moving the shifter straight from 1st to 2nd, instead of first moving the shifter ahead to neutral, over to the 2-3 rail, and then ahead into 2nd, for example. With a worn shifter, it WILL move "diagonally" slipping out of the R-1 rail before the tractor is out of reverse, and into the 2-3 rail.
