Path, mostly to right, will find tower? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tractor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tower?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'path mostly to right will' is the wordplay.
'path' becomes 'track' (track is a kind of path).
'mostly' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the word).
'to right will' becomes 'tor' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'track' with its final letter taken away is 'trac'.
'trac'+'tor'='TRACTOR'

'find' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tractor that I've seen before include "Tower" , "Farming vehicle" , "Type of truck with a a cab but no body" , "Powerful farm vehicle for heavy work" , "Agricultural vehicle" .)
