John Deere SX85 stuck in neutral

Just got this and started it, Stuck in neutral have not looked at yet any common problems I should look for. Also steers extremely hard, Wil.l know more after I pressure wash it.

Look where the shifter linkage goes into the top of the transmission. At that point where the shaft enters the case, soak it down with PBlaster. Work the shifter until it begins to move and spray and repeat until it moves freely. The front end will usually respond to the same treatment. Then grease it with a grease gun once you get it soaked and moving freely with the PBlaster.
