A few pics of the current fleet, some projects are nearing completion too.

Have you got it bought yet then??

Still nobody??? Surely some of you modifiers have one or a pair?

There is a pair for sale in the classifieds but sounds like they won't split?

Please help!

I reckon it would spoil this tractor completely if the cab was removed! Might as well not bother with the thing at all. At the moment it's a really nice and interesting piece of County export history with that cab, which fits rather nicely, and even nicer assuming it's a Canadian-built unit? Plus it can always be used with the doors and back window taken off to get a blow through. Otherwise, with it removed, it's just another 1124...

Me and you Chris are going to fall out 

The bottom left door is missing, the front glass is smashed, no back window, wiper missing, you will lose your hearing when the tractor is running, if you get a strong wind it will blow over, if you try and park it in your shed it won't go in because too tall,  need I go on?

Not a very pleasant place to be unless it is actually raining?

I bought county antrim last nite on ebay  ;D 

sorry 

U bugger, I was adamant I was going to win 

Yeah If I decide to buy it, the cab will defenitly end up in the junk!  As I would want to repaint it , will it be difficult to find replacement decals? I have never owned a County but have always been captivated by them, so I am a greenhorn at the whole thingy.

Decals are easy, genuine £160 or very good copies £80, cheap to post! And yes Marky, that is the case )

Very very nice, no assistor rams but you don't need them. That cab has got to go 

I have been able to reduce the price on the 1124 by some. Can someone point out the County parts that are most likely in need of repair or that need lots of inspection before buying.Thanks.

Front pivot bush worth doing, fairly simple job, big bush about £50, smaller £35. Crownwheel and pinion can wear but if in good condition can be swapped side to side, look for play in top and bottom swivel bearings aswell. Driveshaft universal joints get play and are about £45 and front hub seals can leak, but fairly simple to replace. Handbrake discs again are simple to replace and not particularly dear. The rear brakes are a bigger and more expensive job. Check engine starts well and doesn't smoke or throw too much oil out the exhaust. That one has got an alternator fitted too so if you want to put it back to original a dynamo is readily available as I expect the tacho/engine rpm won't work as it is cable driven! Otherwise they are pretty bombproof.

It wasn't but what about aftermarket cabs fitted? They are typical of the period when the tractor was new and help to keep the original appearance. Well, that's just my thought! To many cabs get scrapped these days.

True Niels, but that cab doesn't even look good??? Looks like a greenhouse and will probably act like one when the sun comes out 

What a dreadful thing to say Howard  :'(

I don't think that was an unreasonable comment ha ha!. After all I don't think it was an original County fitment???

I see you've started the restoration with the front offside wheel then Howard... lick of paint on the rest of it and bingo... job done... old Peter Love will be twisting your arm for a scoop in F&F magazine 

Got to start somewhere Mark 

Actually that wheel was duly sold after I painted it............to be honest it came painted ha ha!

Whichever you chose it will be better than mine  ;D

That 1124 looks a beauty, well worth the $$$$. Rip the cab off and you have a decent machine!!!

Wil, have you any photos of these tractors to put on the register? Or have you some photos, are the 1454s, are they for sale?

Whats going on with the TW30s??

Check out my site www.county-tractors.co.uk we often get offers of County tractors from all over the world including Canada!

Look a lot of money for what they are  The Weise models I have bought look far better value, lets hope they come down in price (live in hope!).

Do they have to be white howard?

I only need one and assume I can paint it white I guess?

Thanks

H

That was in "Tractor and Machinery ".

I think I put it in both 

Can anyone help then please?? \

Andrew Cameron sure is a top man and a very impressive fleet!

Here's some.....

It was a 1494 rowcrop, I will see if I can find a photo for you.
