VIN should be on the right framepost. I believe you are stuck in one gear while the selector is in another. Lets say the machine is actually in reverse and the gear shift is in another spot. You need to force the selector back into the reverse spot before you can proceed. Another way to do this is to remove both shifting rods and put both levers on the transmission in the center position put the gear select in the neutral position. the rods should line back up and away you go. Hope that is your problem. Doc

Take the shift rods off, not the shifter. Sounds like it's a 96
