Haven't really had a chance to work on her much in the past week.
I did however adjust the throttle locking nut and the problem was that either the brake pad washer is dryrotted or the bolt had worked itself loose, works fine now. Unfortunately I took apart the whole dash looking for it and forgot there was a panel above the shifter/below steering wheel to access it so I wasted about an hour for nothing haha, but at least I got a good look at the wiring and found out that one of my wires going to the hazard relay wasn't connected which is why they don't work.
I also just greased up all the nipples today as well.
I found out that the reason it is pulling to the left could be the tires aren't inflated evenly. The left was at 10 of 45 max psi and the right was at 20. However, the tire inflater chuck I tried using was busted so that will have to wait til tomorrow. Then I will manually measure the tow and adjust it properly.
Trying to get this thing mowing by this weekend!
Also- Found out the fuel gauge doesn't work. When key is off it shows empty, when on shows full. I looked in the tank when it was empty and the flag was down, put 5gal in it and saw the flag bobbing, but the gauge still reads full. What's the issue with that? It's not too big a deal but it would be nice to have it working.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! 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
