OK, first off, order yourself a book on the tractor. That said, about the other post on the seat vs. your height, look at the base of the seat (where it bolts to the transmission cover platform) there are various holes there for adjusting the position of the seat.
next get out the WD or whatever penetrant you like and dose every nut and bolt you can. These old girls have spent 50 + years in the weather and getting the bolts loosened can be a chore.
That said, the shift lever is probably worn at the tip and will need to be built up (welded) and ground to shape. That should fix the shiting problem.
Finally, the splined shaft that the pitman arm is on can be rotated by removing th arm and relocating it 180 degrees. That places the worm gear in the steering box on an unworn spot and should help the steering. Have fun with it, they are great old tractors, Geoff

I had 1/3 to 1/2 play in my steering. Rotated the steering gear 1/2 a turn. Made a huge difference, not afraid to use road gear now..... .....
