Any competent tractor shop will have the skillset and tools to fix you right up. Even pro lawn services run over the occasional concrete block hiding in tall grass.

I use a hammer.
Sure-- I can see several different 'bends' in my head. Each might take a different approach;
3 lb hammer ; 12" crescent wrench and a 3' pipe ; hydraulic jack & a 2x4 ; chain and a tree-- and since the mower might not have the traction that '55 chevy did, maybe add a truck and another chain.Put that stump to work-- back over it, dropping the deck at the right moment & it might pop things back in place.

Heat from a torch and a big hammer.
yeah i think i might have to do this...
one of my coworkers, who has extensive experience with j. deere, suggested a torch and hammer....might have to do that
Back over the stump?? Seriously, once they are sprung they can be very difficult to get back to shape - how bad? Pictures??
