3 on tree / a903

Yes - linkage is off and I used a wrench to click it to neutral and started the car to verify . Second I put Linkage and arms back together on Column , leaving rods at trans loose and only tightened after forcing the to arm to be equal and forced the blade down on to the 1/r arm and it would go to r and back to n and to 2&4 now but won’t go to 1 . Took that arm loose is goes limp to ground . My column won’t move blade hooked up or not to down 1st position not matter what . This mixes with just broke my second hood just killed driving this build this year or seems :( balls
I think at this point, I would get the column apart.
