When was the last time you got to brag about your engine's actual stump-pullin' power?

I had to pull out a 15 year old Weeping Willow that was tilting toward the back side of the house due to a rotten root. I had the tree service come in and cut the tree down but leave a 4 foot tall stump so I'd have something to lever against with a chain. I used a Sawzall and some pruning blades and cut the roots within six inches of the stump and then hooked the old trusty pullin' chain to the old 396 (Diesel) Turbo-Jet. Threw it in 4WD Low and slowly yanked it out of the ground.

I then spent an hour knocking all the dirt off the root ball so I'd have something to fill in the giant crater I left. At least the dogs got something new to investigate.
