Just got a call from him. He said he called the dealer he bought it from and told him the story. The dealer got huffy and told my son the previous owner was supposed to have taken the password off and opened up the top speed. My son told him it will cost $400 to have the ECM flashed and the dealer said I KNOW THAT, meaning he has been involved with this situation too many times. I think the dealer will foot the bill for having the ECM changed. He seems to be a square shooter.
As far as the PTO goes, my son changed gears in the PTO to reduce the speed and now it works fine. The engine sits there at 1000 RPM's while he's unloading so the 300 ft/lb PTO setting in the ECM is OK. He still has to get the 65 mPH top speed removed and he's going to have the horsepower upped from the 350 it's set at now to ??? Today in this wind he can't rardly maintain 55. Like everything that's newer today, only certain people with the right equipment can work on this stuff and where we live those people seem to be far away. He really likes the truck over all. It's smooth, quiet and has a 19" shorter wheelbase so he gets around the hog sites easier. Jim

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
