Thought the problem was you were breaking the PTO shaft on rocks and stumps.
You still have not checked or addressed the shear pin situation on the mower that I am aware of. Again if the shear pins are Grade 5 or 8 bolts, they're too strong and won't shear. The next weakest thing, the PTO shaft, is what breaks.
Understand that you are just "caretaker" and using equipment supplied to you so "just go out and buy a...." may not be an option. You may want to send the whole mower to this guy who is fixing the shaft to get the front structure patched up if you can't do it yourself.

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
