If you are alone, chain a fence post to the rear wheels and drive the tractor up over the post. Of course you have to stop before the post hits the drawbar or transmission and reposition it. I've moved a tractor a long way out of the muck this way but usually if you've got the implement unhooked, one jump and you can drive away. I use a wooden fence post, even a 2-1/2 inch one will lift an M, and an old one so it will break if I go too far. I've also used an old tree branch and baling wire instead of chain to avoid a long walk. You may have to dig a trench to get it under the transmission the first time to go forward. It is an old timers method and it works, by yourself. If you have help, we just tie it to the lower bolster with the chain between the front tires. The chain keeps the tires straight and I've never seen or heard of one broken this way, just heard of people advising against it. Never ever jerk a tractor anyway, and a steady pull won't break anything.
