When I worked at the MF dealer, from time to time, we had to deal with a stuck clutch on old ford tractors. We would normally get a bush hog hooked up to it, crank it up, go out across the pasture behind us, and drop the cutter on a large ant hill. This worked everytime, the best that I remember. Well, my brother, in his infinite wisdom, found his old NAA with a stuck clutch. For some reason (I think it had something to do with a beer can), he got the tractor backed up to a pine tree, hooked a chain from the tree (about 24" in diameter), to the drawbar under the PTO. The tractor had old industrial tires on it, and he thought when it came to the end of the chain, the clutch would break loose, or the old tires would just spin. HA! Those old tires took hold, the clutch never slipped, and the tractor flipped over backwards! My brother had enough sense about him, to dive sideways off the tractor, and even at that, it tractor almost fell on top of him. It landed upside down, less that a foor from his shoulder, still running, with gasoline leaking all over the place out of the tank. He got it shutdown, and we got a front end loader to flip it back up right. Now, when he stops on of the old tractors, he jams a wooden wedge against the clutch pedal, so that the clutch plate will not stick to the pressure plate and flywheel.
