No, now that you mention it, it is not on.

Could you give more details about this?
1.Was shifting to 4th ever an issue?
2.Was this when shifted on the fly or choosing the gears at a stop?
3.Did it grind when it missed a gear?
4.What steps did you take to make it go in gear?
5.Was it hard to shift and you had to force it into gear?
Not sure what is going on and the two may not be related. I know of some shuttle shift transmission shearing a roll pin on the shaft that goes into the transmission. That would have the current symptoms you are experiencing but not the missing a gear when shifting.
I have not heard of this with Branson however.

Good question
The issue was not showing up on the H gear set.
Only shifted into 3rd a couple times and never experienced it then....but limited experience.
To move between 1st and 2nd sometimes it would be hard to get in or not at all...like the gears were not quite in sync.
Remedy was often to shift back, left off clutch, and push clutch back in and try again.
Some of my issue was not making it stop completely and firmly holding the brakes down. But not always.

Also, forgot to mention a very important piece of info.
Due to the slippery conditions, I was holding down the pedal to lock the rear differential frequently.

Sounds like you are talking about the range shifter. It should be labeled A, B, and C. There is a neutral in between each range. This is the lever on the left of your seat. Correct?
Do you feel any resistance shifting this lever now or does it move easier than before?

Correct, and thank you for correcting my vocabulary.
And no resistance now

Then the problem is with your linkage most likely. Trace the linkage for the range shifter. If possible, with tractor off, move the lever and see what is not moving with it. You should be able to see the problem.

Exactly. My first thought, now that we narrowed it down to the range shifter, is that the roll pin may be broke and the lever just rotates on the pivot shaft without actually engage.
It's not uncommon to happen since the range gears are a bit tricky to align correctly and engage nice and easy, so people end up forcing too much and something gives.

Thank you!
I will check it out this morning sometime
Takes me a while to get out the door with 4 girls, seven and under, and a week old baby boy.

User stupidity
H gears were not all the way in
Thought for sure I tried those out yesterday
I still have the grinding when shifting by between ranges.
I stop and try again. Tractor usually moves just a little and the gears will go right in.
Annoying and may still be something wrong there
