Common and probably not a problem.
If the gear cluster is rotated such that the gears bang and not line up, that will happen. Put it in N and rock the tractor back and forth. Start it, then (while in N) lift the clutch. Then it should go into gear.
Now if it won't go into N, you have an issue with the trans being in 2 gears at the same time. That's usually a worn shifter issue and may need the top cover of the trans removed so you can lever the shift plates or gates around to get it back into N.

Thanks for the infor. I'll try rocking the tractor tomorrow. It does go into neutural and it seems like it goes into gear but when I let the clutch out it's just like being in neutural the tractor doesn't move. A couple of times it seemed like it started to catch but jumped out of gear. If it was my Mustang I would know what to look for but I know nothing about tractors and I can't find a repair manual for it.
