It will not work. To cut the grass it needs more rake on the cutting arm but you will not be able to steer it. As it is, it will steer but it will be difficult to get it moving.
Number 1: I read about some old time youth horsing around on an icy pond with their Model T/A (can't remember which), and they skidded into a bank and snapped off a wheel. They replaced it with a chunk of wood like a ski, and carried on with their donuts.
And the waxy bucket will burn brighter than any light bulb one night when it's tipped askew by, say, a dog, a drunk, a child, etc. It's ok though, civilization's first achievement was fire. It took a lot of mistakes to get us to the brink of modern dystopia we find ourselves in now.
The dichotomy of being able to operate a cellphone to include livestreaming yet failing to understand something as fundamental as what a fire hazard waxed paper is.
#3 I had a friend in texas DPS worked weights and measures for semis in the 80's. He said there was no specification on what flatbeds had to do to stop their cargo going thru the cab in an accident. Just had to have something. So the trucker could tape a piece of paper on the back of the cab and it would meet the law requirement.
#1 is a tried-and-true solution known to off-road users of Jeep YJ’s and TJ’s with Dana 35 rear axles. The C-clip will often break on one of the rear axle shafts if subjected to shock loads or bouncing. The axle and wheel will then come right out of the housing. One solution is ratchet strapping a log under the vehicle in place of the wheel, and driving out in front wheel drive, dragging on the skid log.
