- This is my brother, the Reverend Ronald Glass, showing us the rebuilt carburetor for his Farmall M from Denny's Carburetor Services, posing on the Farmall M for the video camera, rousting a very stubborn stump from the North Carolina soil, and taking a joy ride on the Red Tractor with his son (and videographer) Jonathan Glass.

The comments here reflect the wit and wisdom of those who have excelled at carping and criticism, without actually trying to do such a task. I have tried pulling stumps with my small tractor, similar to the video here, and have learned to saw them level or below ground with a reciprocating saw, and let them rot. Thanks for this video.
Best way to deal with a stump is to find someone with a grinder. But I saw a video of a guy pull one right out of the ground with a series of pullys. Amazing. If I was smarter I'd try that.
"There's something down there holding that stump". Yep........those are called roots!!!
I love the sound of cutting dirt in the morning!
Too noisy, smell is better!
He has an old worn out chain on it for such occasions, genius.
No one here ever heard of a block and tackle.
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.

A good way to knacker your chainsaw chain and as others have said the clutch. Stumped by a stump! Now he knows why the professionals don't do it that way.
I've pulled Popular tree stumps for many years with a spade, an axe for the big roots, a good nylon sling and a one ton "Come-Along". It's a great way to keep body and mind in shape. Soaking the area with water first helps the smaller roots to come out like they were greased! It's also helpful if the stumps are 4 or 5 feet tall for the mechanical advantage.
Never underestimate the strength of a stump
william davidson yeah there strong
Back up closer 3rd gear it forward, voila!!
Tractor needs new rear housing
NEVER hook a tractor to a stationary object.
@@jarvisfamily3837 does this include steam tractors that have a metric fuckton of torque?
Why not just cut it off just below the ground and not be so rough on the tractor . This is why I don't loan stuff.
Right answer
Just a hint, try each root stem & break each one, easier than trying the whole stump if it's stubborn, they 'll break away ^ then the main trunk is loose..the root plate on this tree is very secure.
Next episode will be "Today we will be replacing the clutch on our Farmall M'
Not true, Ap3xglide. You don’t have a clue.
The EXACT way NOT to pull a stump.
that things a beast, what a great tractor. i have the smallest of the farmalls, a 1948 cub
And a new chain for the poor old saw
My dad had the same tractor when i was a kid....sounded exactly like that one
Beautiful old M Model, all dolled up and washed! Looks good. Best we ever had was a Cub.
You should always put a blanket over the chain in case it breaks. Controls the snap. That chain looked a little small
Don't count on that protection
No - your pou diesel or kerosene over the damn stump, let it soak in good, and burn it out. Only optimists and damn fools hook a tractor to a stationary object and yank. There is very little good that can happen there and a WHOLE lot of bad!
I would never try this. The tractor could flip back over in an instant.
No, he's actually got that part right - hooked below the center of rotation, so it's actually pulling the front end down.
That's a super M . But has M decals.??? I love the old farmalls.good looking tractor.
Sharp looking M.
Looks and sounds awesome, lkeep it that way
Thanks, Blade Runner. It was my dad’s before he sold it to a neighbor in 1963. We were in Star, Mississippi then. My father and I pulled that thing out of the woods in 1992 and got it running again. The front rims were almost rusted off! Had to buy another set just to transport it. It looked like a pile of rusted scrap. That is my brother in this video, He got it from me in 1995 and took it to Bishopville, SC. He has finished it off with another paint job, new carb, new tranny housing cover, new tires and a 3-point conversion. He has it in Hendersonville, NC now.
@@tdeglass1 sweet, nice job
Hook chain to another tree then pull on the middle of that chain. Doubles your power. Gets you out of direct line of snapping chain.my friend got killed instantly starting a tractor from the ground standing like he did. Also a can start sometimes just by turning on the ignition switch. Had that happen a time or two.
That tractor seemed like it had a lot of trouble pulling that stump with how much you sawed it.
I see an axle breaking real soon!
That's a nice trench you dug with the tractor tires. That should be taken as a clue that the stump isn't coming out without more digging and or cutting.
good vid and good final comment from Terrence "Piss Off"
1:47, can't find 'em, grind 'em! You have to give these old transmissions a few seconds to stop turning when changing gears, they are not synchronized like today's are, so don't try to shift them while moving. Great looking tractor. I collect H's myself. How old is that restoration, and what year model is it? If you don't mind telling, what is the entire serial number, letters and all? It looks brand new. Love that three point conversion!
You don't necessarily have to stop moving to shift, but you have to rev match. It's almost mandatory when using 5th to start in 4th... Always fun with only 2 hands.
I can go thought all the gears on my h without grinding
Have somebody come over and grind it: $200. Wear and tear on a nice tractor: potentially thousands. Wear and tear on a cheap chainsaw: $200. Watch me pull that stump out! Ye haw! I just cut off the top of a jackpine stump after digging around it deep and wide enough to be able to get at it with a chainsaw. Buried most of it. A garden hose came in handy. Cost: a new chain and a new bar (the bar was already almost gone). And a dull ax. A helluva job for an old man.
A pound of tannerite would have been quicker and a lot more fun.
What kind of camera are you using that it doesn't make jerky motions when you move or walk? It seems to have a very fluid motion.
How about a couple of snatch and a block an tackle or an " A " frame ?
nice M pure American art. I am still farming wth dads 1950 M is the only thing on the farm that always starts no matter how cold. and will out pull my larger 666 diesel.
I love watching clueless people destroying machines.
No I can't watch it because I hate when antique equitment is getting destroyed
least chain didnt flip off hit em in back of head.
That was the other stump he pulled when that happened!
That poor saw
Assuming it’s in neutral and starting from the ground instead of the seat is a good way to get run over.
why do you think I always make sure it's in neutral before starting?
all you have to do is jiggle the shifter a bit. you can usually tell if it's in gear or not
put a big the chain over a big rim and use a rubber tire between two chains to take the shock out of the chains when pulling hard...
This should have been labeled as "How not to pull a stump" Lots of dangerous stuff going on, like....Tractor could flip over on the driver, no safety glasses while using chainsaw, chain could break and hit the driver. Just cut it off flush and put topsoil over it.
3 things wrong here you have the wrong chain saw second you have the wrong color tractor and third when you pull stumps out use the tire rim trick works every time
Woodsy93 what is the tire rim trick?
Color of a tractor doesn't determine performance.
it was a joke i have a 39 formal h and a 53 john deere 50 i love them all
look up on youtube tire rim stump removal and it should come up on how to do it kinda hard to type it all better to watch a video on it
All that before sunset. Tomorrow he'll find a new leak in rear end!!!
don't get excited you just pulled a stump you cut out of the ground
Oh, c'mon now - success at doing the wrong thing the wrong way and not getting killed, hurt, or breaking equipment in the process is grounds for celebration, isn't it?
I would trust a heavy cable over that chain any day . Nothing like a piece of flying iron to ruin your day or life .
How horses this machine?
Around 40 - 50
@@_Peaches_81 thanks
lol what a waste of time. Just pour some diesel on it for a few days then light it up.
Without weights on the front it's dangerous to try a pull like this -- the tractor could flip and especially without a ROPS the operator could be crushed under the steering wheel.....
If it were going up hill then maybe, but the engine and front end weighs enough to keep it on the ground. I would worry about a small farmall like a B, A or a Cub before a M. These old tractors can pull alot before flipping over.
Jace Schlechter yeah
Properly weighting the tractor would have made a hug difference, or he could have just used a deere.
The driver is my brother, Ronnie. He is the current owner of this old Farmall, a model M that my father bought when Ronnie and I were 4 and 6 years old. The tractor was pulled out of the woods by my father and I in 1992. It was in horrid shape, didn’t run, not even close; the paint was gone and the front rims were rusted partially through. It was a sad sight.
Ronnie isn’t a pro, but he’s put a lot of hours on farm tractors. He’s pulling that stump without damaging the gears, bearings, tires, clutch or axles because he’s pushing in on the clutch right before the chain goes to full tension - the weight of the tractor is doing all the work. The center bar attachment casting and hardened steal pin are taking the impact, not the driveline components.
The chain on the saw is a worn out one set aside to be used for just this type of work. Relax.
He’s also one of the most decent and likable people that I know.
Terrence Glass
That M is beautifully restored. It reminds me of the one my dad had and we all used it farming. Our headlights were not as bright as this one. Is that an LED conversion? 12 volt?
Greg O It is a 12 volt. We put on a single-wire converted alternator. Works very well with the other updated 12-volt components.
You need another tractor not enough muscle my tractor new Holland would have got it
Thx
Thx
why did'nt he pray ????
He did. The night before
Nice tractor. Everything else is comedy.
Just put it in first and give it some throttle. Stop jerking it.
If that chain snaps an flies in to the back of your head
I would have burned the stump.
U dah MAN!
Now, go figure out what you cooked in the electrical system...
What are you talking about?
Always pull things like that with the front of the tractor not the rear, you can get killed that way!
Never pull anything with the front of these old tractors. They are not designed to withstand that kind of stress. Even if you are pulling one stuck. Always route the chain or better yet a strap under the front and attach to the drawbar and pull. Many tractors have torn themselves in half pulling from the front.
Unless its a farm implement I wouldn't pull anything with it. The right tool for the right job. A backhoe works wonders on stumps. A Farmall M pulls a hay baler!
he jyst needs more tractor time. nice tractor.takes a punishing
Poor saw, poor tractor, Big Dummy.
I don’t care if you break every axle on it or ripped the clutch out of it... just please don’t start it without sitting on it! Even if you “THINK” it’s in neutral!.... that’s an easy way to run over your self!
Throw some other wood in that hole and set er on fire. Save the chainsaw and most importantly save the tractor.
It isn't out its broken off .not the right equipment for the job
That poor tractor it's clutch would be in ruin and I would use a diesel tractor better torque and more strength ,only for that chainsaw that Farmall would still be trying to pull that out of the ground ,it won't even pull you out of bed lol
Thanks for viewing. All you naysayers can shove it. That M was my dad’s before he sold it to a neighbor in 1963. We were in Star, Mississippi then. Almost 30 years later, I found it and bought it back. My father and I pulled that thing out of the woods (1992), and after a lot of fun and effort, we got it running again. The front rims were almost rusted off! Had to buy another set just to transport it. It looked like a pile of rusted scrap. That is my brother in this video. He got it from me in 1995 and took it to Bishopville, SC. He has finished it off with another paint job, new carb, new tranny housing cover, new tires and a 3-point conversion. He has it in Hendersonville, NC now. No harm has come to this tractor. It has been loved, coddled and pampered since it’s restoration.
Hi Terrence. I read all the naysayer comments...funny...I don't think half of them ever worked on a farm or have experience in agricultural mechanics. No harm will come to that tractor the way you used it...period. You did it in a safe manner...took the slack out the chain...the unloaded and unweighted tires will slip before any damage could be done to the tractor or chain. The Farmall M is capable of pulling 3 bottom (even a 4 bottom) moldboard plow through Alfisols. My Great Grandfather, Grandfather, and Uncle used the M and Super M for Nursery work for over 50 years without real mechanical issues...worked hard, especially when using the tree digger. These are some great tractors....well built and robust. Your tractor is in amazing condition.
I have pulled some stumps in my life...once with a team of draft horses...omg. Took hours!!! The fastest...using dynamite. Don't try that at home kids...professionals only (my father loved to blast...tree stumps, wells, rocks). Your stump was solid. Well done.
All the more reason not to abuse it get a grinder or rent a mini x play all day long save that M
Until the stump
That's actually a super m
+Quade Yager Looks like a plain ole M to me. No live hydraulics, wrong seat, wrong choke hookup, battery in the wrong place. On the other hand, it does have disc brakes, which only means it is a later model M. Of course, all those things could have been changed over the years, but I still say it looks like a plain M and not a Super M.
+piratebobstreasure probably stage one super m with the wrong nose but I could very well be wrong
+Quade Yager Can't really go by the badge on the front end either, with them being so easy to replace. I've seen Super M's with the transitional grill in them still with the Farmall front badge, so go figure. I was looking more at the engine myself, with it's M carb and M choke rod. I know he said it came from Denny's, but Denny's is mostly a rebuild shop, not an outright seller of carbs, though they do sell them outright when they have them, but I thought the guy in the video called it "that Denny's carburetor rebuild", which means that was the carb they sent in. What all about the tractor makes you think it is a Super? Like I said in my first post, all these things could have easily been changed out over the years. I've asked the OP for the year of the tractor to find out for sure. Maybe he'll answer and tell us the serial number too, which will indeed solve the mystery.
+piratebobstreasure ok let me know when you find out
If he tells, I will. Got my curiosity up now. ;o)
I love these old tractor but the ones made in the 1970 and 80s were better because they had a dual transmission which means 600 rpm pulling power
You must not thing much of the tractor the way you treat it.
You’re clueless, Joe.
Both of you are clueless. Neither of you know anything about the tractor. It was a piece a scrap until my dad and I rebuilt it. The current owner is my brother. He thinks more of that big tractor than you think of your little pecker.
old man needs to go back bagging grocery ..chainsaw is meant to cut wood not chain...you should have just burnt that stump rather then acting stupid with that tractor..
don't be such an asshole
what a great way to destroy your machine
Get a bigger tractor
I love all the geniuses replying on here who know so very much about tractors, equipment, pulling stumps right, pulling stumps wrong, tearing up clutches, breaking axles, cutting dirt, etc. All of you should get out of your mommas basement and get your own tractor and chainsaw. No harm has ever come to this tractor. The chainsaw had an old chain on it for such occasions. If you can’t find something positive to say, piss off.
That’s how I ruined my Toyota 4Runner transmission.
I'm not trying to be sarcastic honest to God I'm not but nothing has killed more farmers and inexperienced tractor drivers then such a thing,,,they can and will flip over in less than a second pulling like that,,, you've got to have something on the tractor in the back like a blade or disk or something or a heavy set of weights on the front end,,,,The old ford eight and nine n series tractors killed a lot of farmers,,,lot of inexperienced operators lost they're lives to those old ford tractors if it was cold outside sometimes the back wheels would freeze to the ground and the operators would shift between forward and reverse trying to get the thing to free up and when it did most the time it would flip over and kill the operator that's why an experienced Ford tractor owner will always have something hooked to the back of one of them things usually a brush mower or rear blade or they'll have a heavy set of weights on the front end,,,, even though the operator in this video appears to be very experienced probably wouldn't hurt to have weights on the front end or a rear blade don't get me wrong the operator seems to be very experienced,,,however.
You are right pull with the front not the rear!
Agreed - As a medic from the Midwest you only need to see one tractor flip over and crush the operator to know that no stump in the world is worth removing in this fashion. If you watch, he is doing exactly what causes the most experienced operator to flip a tractor. Using the chain - with no recoil - and banging the clutch, the operator's foot will slip off of the clutch and over backwards it goes. I have known this since I was 12 years old and took a tractor safety course. NEVER IS THIS TECHNIQUE WORTH IT.
It doesn't "flip over' it flip backwards!!!
@@rockerpat1085 thats what he means bonehead
@@gunlover1955 NEVER with front end.
Hey, Eddy. You’re a shit head. Keep your negative thoughts inside your own puss bag brain.
epic fail...should have deleted this video.
Traktor destroying
Doofus and the stump.
Get a physics text from a high school man and then chainsawing so close to a real chain dumb..... use a fulcrum and lever run your chain around an old tire or rim then pull downwards jeesh this is nuts next time replacing the transmission and clutch on a farmall m thats not a simple fix
