YM180D transmission stuck in reverse!

[BC Dave]

In a pickle; help! ... Clutch, manual stick shift, 4 high low + reverse, YM180D is stuck in reverse and totally binding in 2nd to 4th gears will stall tractor. no neutral; seems like the shift lever moves all shift forks into 1st but still in reverse; no neutral, stuck in reverse, tractors on a nice neighbours property behind mound of fill, in the bush; lol?; looked inside the shift cover forks look fine from the top of shift plate access, shift plate was warren peened metal back into shape, so less warren but didn't fix issue. Suggestions on way to get gears back in the field?

I did get some good advice from Hoye / All States yanmar dpt ...
