I have six of these tractors, and they all run just fine. I have a rototiller on the hydrostatic one, a mower on another a bucket on another, etc... The important thing is to keep the brake pivot shaft lubed so it doesnt bind up and make the shaft break off the subframe... this had happened on 3 of my tractors! The best attachment is the front bucket, it will lift 350 lbs or so about 5 feet high as long as you have weights on the rear of the machine.
If you push the headlight switch down to "ENGINE NOT RUNNING", it's supposed to kill the engine. The owners manual says so. My Dad bought one of these new in '77.

I think that cable is for the charging circuit off the starter.
