I used a 5/16 flat screw driver(a new one with good square corners) and only forced one corner of the blade under the crimp holding the screwdriver at about a 30 degree angle to the tach face. I started at the little notch on crimp on back side and gave it a twist to open up the crimp just a little bit and did that about every 1/4 inch all the way around and went around it 3 times. I didn't stand the crimp up but left it about 1/4 over as I figured it would be hard to crimp back if I completely opened it up. I used two really small(about 1/8 inch) flat screw drivers and worked the ring over the rolled lip on the tach case. I was lucky that I didn't even nick that little tiny paper gasket. Hardest thing going back was working that ring back over the lip on the case. To start the crimp folding back down I used a slip lock pliers and wrapped 4 or 5 wraps electrical tape around bottom jaw to keep it from scratching chrome ring face. Held tach upside down, placed taped jaw on front face of chrome ring just past the edge and other jaw on crimp back side and while squeezing pulled upward on plier handles. Went around it twice before I had the crimp almost back tight. The third time around was with a vise grip to squeeze the crimp tight. I was happy that you can't even see tool marks on that chrome ring unless you look really hard.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
