Here is a picture with the gear shifter off.

Can anyone help lead me to my next step?

Great to here you are running and driving!!!!

I've found on mags thee is normally a "sweet spot" for cranking. The tractor 
will usually run anywhere, but poorly so if it is retarded.  I think most of 
the  old tractors here run all or almost all the way advanced. You may have 
to do some fine tuning with the coupler.

I think you are right on track with the transmission--pull of the cover top 
and have a look.

Sounds like you have made great progress, don't take 4 more years to 
finish!!!!
