I did a quick Youtube search and this is exactly how my tractor is configured.

As I discovered, the shift needs to be as far forward as it can go (this is what the loop on the tarp had snagged and pulled back). In any other position the gears won't engage.
I see that the Sherman shifter appears quite different in some videos (much more of a "dog's leg" as you put it).
