Yep my grandpa's name was John Sr. and he bought it new. My mom thinks it came from Haddock Ford in Lawrence. He died in 76 and it was passed down to his son John Jr. It was well taken care of but hasn't been drove to much lately. The front brake locked up awhile ago from sitting but my uncle got it fixed up. The other day he needed it out to get to a squeeze chute sitting in front of it and the wheel locked up again. He decided he needed the shed room and it's just sitting there in the way so he sold it to the guy I assume you bought it from. He said he was going to fix it up and resell it. Some advice if the clothes pins are still hooked to the fuel line, leave them on. When my grandpa bought that truck from brand new it would vapor lock. He took it back to the dealership but they couldn't get it to quit. Some old timer told him to clip some wooden clothes pins to the fuel line to help dissipate the heat to keep it from vapor locking. He put them on and it never did it again. Might have been a coincidence I don't know but they were still on there the last time I saw under the hood, which admittedly was awhile ago.

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
