Well you have a bare Ford 841 that would only weight maybe 3500 lbs. without any ballast. That Farmall "M" bare would weight in at about 4900 lbs. Plus it was designed to just be a draw-bar pulling tractor to use its horse power. That is the reason for tall tires. They have a much longer foot print. The Ford was designed to use it draft control to shift weight/draft to the wheels for traction.
Nothing wrong with the tractor. The issue is with the owner asking it to do something it was not made to do. Get some ballast and chains. It will be a totally different tractor then. You can't get the horse power to the ground.
For now if you have any thing that is heavy hang it on the blade. I do mean anything. I have used an old motor block before. Then when you have some weight on the blade then hold it up just a little bit off the ground and you will have more traction.
