234 Volts? Are you running through a transformer?

Nope. 117/234 nominal, but it gets up over 120/240 sometimes. We have buried utilities, and the transformer for my place is about a 40' run from my meter. Right there where my meter is, my box & house feed is on the wall of my garage, where I have a 30A outlet fed with about 2' of Romex. There I was getting 123/246 early in the morning before everyone wakes up and starts coffee pots, water heaters taking showers, stoves/oven for breakfast, etc, etc... LOL.....

That's the same year my dad graduated in.

I have a drawing of my brush guard, That bumper would just make the project way too complimacated so I decided to just fab up the brush guard. I will try scanning it to my computer.

Where the house in MA is it is on a private road and the lines have to come from the main road. They are supposed to be changing the xfmr at some point in time. So it runs a bit on the low side.
