You were right about the bushings on the FWD/REV shift linkage, completely frozen. The original bushings were steel and corroded. I put the replacement bushings in and it shifts perfectly.
Just to clarify, you now have good shifting forwards to reverse? If so great!

Yes sir, that's right, shifting forward to reverse. Now, I have to fix a few other odds and ends before I can actually start her up again, and see if she moves.
