The throttle on your 140 is probably like the throttle on the super a that I have. On the lever arm that you move back and forth is a tang that sticks out to the right when viewed from the seat. The plate that it sits next to has a set of notches that the tang from the lever will sit in.
Both the notches and the tang should have sharp edges on them to hold the throttle at a given setting. You can clean up the edges on the plate by using a triangle shaped file. Sharpen it like you would a saw blade.
Make sure that the bolt holding the throttle lever is tight.
If the tang is worn and rounded off then you will need to take it off and file a sharpe edge on it again or build up the area with weld and then sharpen it.

One of the other suggestions to break up the ground first is a good idea. I have taken a plow to an area first and then started pushing and pulling the dirt or rocks. Anything that will break up the surface some will help. It does not have to be broken up too much, just enough to get the blade below the surface and start cutting.
Good luck and post some pictures of your project. Love to see those old tractors at work.
