Won't shift to third gear.

[sittingmule]

Hi all

I have a 124 that I've been trying to get sound. I have gotten everything running good but now I can't get tractor to shift to third gear. I've pulled cover and original couldn't get second or third to shift. I pried the gear to free it up and got it to go into second gear. Everything looks fine I don't see any burrs or anything that would prevent third from shifting but it still won't budge forward and if I shift second out too hard it really sticks. Any ideas in wondering if main shaft is bent a little and preventing it from going forward. Would it be more likely that second/third sliding gear would be more likely to twist or have problems?

Thanks
Chris
