If you are in neutral it should go both ways,
here is what you are trying to move;

So I should be able to rotate this left and right with the clutch engaged?

With the tractor off and both gearboxes in neutral, should be able to.

So with both shifters in neutral i unpinned the linkage. When the linkage was unpinned I still did not get full travel from coward and reverse but could also not turn the number 11 tab left or right in the diagram above.

Assuming you were able to get some leverage on #11?

I mean it’s definitely not going by hand…. May be able to get a pipe wrench on it but the rain got me before I could try that…

I am surprised that you could not get full travel of the lever with the cable disconnected, is there a lot of "slack" in the cable movement or a spongy feel. Is the lack of travel the same in both directions?

A small pipe wrench should provide ample leverage to approximate the normal provided by the linkage to the cable.

Was there always a noticeable "detent" feeling when shifting previously?

I agree with LouNY u should be able to move linkage 11 with small wrench . With unpinned the shift lever and cable should move freely. May have to unpin at shift handle end to see if it shift handle or cable.

Poor design. Too much leverage. It breaks at the pivot point. I’ve welded it twice. Third time I designed it differently. Works great but it’s looser but it finds the gear.
