A operator who can feel how the machine is running is
the key. Its a learned skill that comes with practice
and guidance. Dont be afraid to try different settings
as youll figure out which one is the most efficient

My suggestions:

1. Move the tires to the narrowest setting (52 inch)
which should allow the mower to cut the outside to
outside rear tire width. With some additional spacers
you might be able to push in the rear tires so the
outsides line up with the fronts. fender dependent

2. A bad factory weld that took xxx years to
completely brake through. Heat the yoke a little and
weld it up. Quick job

3. Your correct. You want the float. just tight
enough to get the wheel off the ground for transport
and to lift over obstacles

4. Even to slightly down in front. - at the side skid
bar. I like to use the rear wheel to set the cut height .
Not an exact science on a bush hog.

5. I run the throttle wide open almost all of the time.
Lower throttle and gear if I dont want to through stuff
out from the bottom of the mower deck

6-7. Its all about the feel of the tractor and mower

I shift up and down depending on how the mower is
cutting and bogging down. Going up hill I might do
half a cut with the other half on previously cut grass

For really high stuff might do 2 cuts. One at a foot or
higher and a second lower. Depends what you are
cutting for

Oh the support from the top of the 3 point hitch to tail
wheel frame looks bent up. Some bush hogs use a
again instead of the flat iron or a big oval slip
connection. BUT. The top link chain does the same
thing

Hope this helps. And good luck. 3000 is a real nice
tractor. Dad had a ford 801 power master that had a
gear driven pto with out overrun clutch. Had to
anticipate when to stop as their was a delay from the
mower spinning down. Think the 3000 had a dual
clutch or independent pto

Hope this helps and good luck
