Nice story! I look at a lot of cubs that are usually 2+ hours away. Not much seems to pop up next to me.
For the gear shifting, something could be bent. Probably be best to take the shifter assembly off the top of the transmission. I've never separated the axle and transmission from the frame on these cubs, someone else can tell you how best to do it. I think it mentions how to take out the rear axle and transmission in the service manual under the instructions for installing a creeper gear.
I got an original that wouldn't go into 2 or 3 gear. Opened up the transmission and it was quite rusty with about 2 inches of water in the bottom. The gears themselves weren't bad, but the shift rods and forks definitely had a bit of rust. Cleaned it up really well, and now it shifts pretty well.
