What I do is turn down the rpm’s as low as possible. Then put the high low, shift to neutral and then engage normal gear change and then shift high low gear back to either high or low.I haven’t locked mine in years. This is to avoid the problem. I do what you did when it has locked in the past.
When I try to pry gears as I’ve seen so suggested, mine doesn’t budge. 135. there ain’t some sort of gear lock mechanism that intentionally keeps it in gear you want, is there?
Yes might be that or I've read that shift rails might be worn out? Don't know what that takes to repair. Likely a replacement but would have to look into it. I know I'm going to have to.
Thanks, just happened to me. You think it`s bad to have driven it for a bit while the gear is jammed? Mine got stuck in first so I drove it up from the field to a level road in case it wouldn`t start again and I needed to winch it on my trailer.
Thank you. This was helpful. When I pried the gear forward it went too far. I had to move it back to neutral before the shift lever would re-engage.
Yes I got the help from a neighbor who owns a 165.

That happened to me on a mf35 recently and I fixed it up as you said. What I feel helps is to be a bit slow and gentle changing from first to reverse.
Yes I learned that too. Only seems to happen when I shift directions quickly.
Thanks it happens to me even now my tractor is not working it stuck in Zim some one say l must buy clutches
