My father had a 47 Dodge Power Wagon with the front and rear PTO options. He used the multiple vee belt belt pulley to drive a buzz saw on the back. You tossed the cut wood into the wood bottom bed. It had a pull cable to hold the idle up when sawing. He had wanted the three point hitch option but did not want to wait forever.
What if you used a little pair of vise grips to hold the throttle cable in the position to give you the speed you want. Can you open the hood without a ladder?
[Cecil Bearden]it got my hopes up, but they start at $299, and if you want to use their complete services it is a yearly contract for $299/month. Maybe I can talk my local Chevy Dealer to look at it. The engine was disconnected from the computer for over a year while we overhauled it. I sometimes think maybe it lost some programming and needs to be reflashed. I also would like to set the high idle switch to run at about 1500 RPM. However, before I spend $500 on it, I have to get a decent winch bed installed.
[ James] These people rent programming setups. Maybe they can help you.

[Cecil Bearden] I have a 98 Chevy C8500 w/ 3126B Cat and Allison HT750. It has a speed control when using the PTO that has been disconnected. It was a former Mechanic service truck. In order to get the high idle switch connected I have to take the truck to a Cat dealer and they hook up the computer to the truck and reprogram the computer to work with the high idle switch. This is a minimum of $500.. When the computer is connected to the truck and then connects to Cat there is a $250 charge to connect to the Cat service site that $250 goes to Cat. The other charges are to the stealership. As much as I love Cat equipment, this is a ridiculous charge. I use a piece of 1x2 cut to the right length and wedge it form the accelerator to the seat.
