Don, three thoughts. First, does the Select-o-speed have a Park lock? If so,
it could have been jarred loose and be locking the transmission. Second,
does the shifting mechanism have any linkages that could have done the same?
The easiest way to check both would be to get the factory manual and follow
their procedures. The alternative is to follow all the linkages and check
for what appears to be normal operation.
     Another possible failure mode that should not require rebuilding the
transmission to fix would be if the PTO engagement mechanism could have
allowed a lockup either of the PTO clutch or a gear slippage. I would think
you need a manual to diagnose that though. Good luck!
     Oh Don, please give me a call back soon as I left you a message.

I have a 1965 Ford 3000 with the Select-O-Speed transmission.  Recently
it quit working, it just stopped.  I was heading out to do some brush
hogging and hit a bump and it just stopped.  It does not move in any
gear even if towed.  There are no bad mechanical sounds from the
transmission, just no go and the PTO does not turn.  I got the
transmission to differential coupling free and was able to load it on
the trailer.  Any suggestions as to what the problem may be?
