86 Cherokee wont shift out of 4 lo

I am going to look at am 86 for sale that wont shift out of 4 low.

Price is dropping fast on it, and I may be able to buy it cheap.

Any common causes for being stuck in 4 low?

I did some more searching,

Looks like its either stuck due to lack of use or stuck due to internal wear/damage.

Also could be internal problem. Just got done dealing with 90 YJ stuck in low turned out to be bad fork. Had to rebuild t-case and add SYE kit. 850 bucks later/.
