Ford County

...just a pic I took at a mates place the other day, he loves the old girl , reckons he is going to be buried sitting in it ...going to need a big hole!

Nice machine. Is it a Super 6???

Not sure but I reckon that years ago these were used as shunters by the railways, Rodders will be able to straighten me out if that's not correct. Cheers Tim

MMBW had a couple of those jiggers a long time ago

the Muir Hill brand were used as shunters and a few in the smaller mines in the UK & some made it down here as well

Nice machine. Is it a Super 6???

I thought the County 4 had smaller wheels on the front, but the County 6 had the bigger wheels all round. So this would be the '6'.

hi whith the early county equal wheelers the super 4 was the standard tractor with the 4 w drive fitted the super 6 was the same but added a 6cy truck moter ie a fordson based one had a thames trader 6 a 5000 had a upright 380 simler to the slant in a d series later on they went by no/s my 5000 based one is a 754 ie 75 hp 4wd if i fitted the up right 380 from my k series 1004 later still they bought out a line of unequal wheelers 4004 6004 ect which was the ford name plus the 4 this one looks like a 754 b

I work on a pair of unequal wheel County's, a 4000-FOUR and a 6600-FOUR. They are essentially their respective Ford tractor with a different left hip, and a truck front axle. The best thing is you can still get parts and easily.

I have heard of a bloke in the Glenrowan/Beechworth (???)area importing a fair few parts for these. One of the relos bought an unrestored 6 cyl , late model for not much coin. Then bought a 4 cyl one that was all shiney. Turns out it was only a liquid rebuild. :'( The bloke who sold it came good with parts & some of the labour costs as well. A happy ending.

Here is a couple
