Dont know if you can get this magazine in the states. http://www.tractor-and-machinery.com/cgi-bin/purchase.cgi?m=TAM&y=2002&i=02IA12TAM&s=bi
The Super Six is based around Super Major back end with I think a Ford 6 cylinder engine

I know a --little-- bit about them, but if you ask on the Ford or Fordson forums, htey can fill you in...

The version of the County Super Six that was sold in the US used the 401 ci engine from the 8000 hooked to a 5000 trans. and rear end. They were assembled by the County Tractor Works in England. The pto hp was in the 105 to 110 range.

Whats the resale value is it worth anything

 

[Fordfarmer]

That's the later one... earlier one was based on the Major or Super Major, with Ford's Dagenham 6 in it.

 

[Fordfarmer]

depends on condition... some parts are not available, except used, as County is out of business. Should be some demand, if complete and working...

well its complete but not working

I would say the vast majority of them actually had the 2700 series engine fitted to the 5000 back end....
I'm not right up on County stuff since all I know is what I've read in a few different books, but I do know that they started with the Major chassis, then went to the 5000 chassis and the last were built up on 5600-7600 chassis'. I don't think they fitted the Basildon engines until the late 70's when the Dorset engines were fading from popularity, so there were a lot of years of 5000 based tractors with 2714 or 2715 engines...
They well proved what that drive line could stand consideringthey were driving 40 horse more through it than Ford intended. Otherwise they take about 40 acres to turn with those big front wheels, but they were considered pretty tough I think. There were a few of them around here, mostly used in the woods.
Dunno where on earth you'd get front axle or related parts for them any more. County bit the biscuit 25 years ago. The engines are not easy to source parts for either.

hi carl
Your county super six could be the original supersix ,based on the major or on some of the later ones e.g. 954 1004 or 1124
On the later models ,the model numbers were pretty clear on the hood
Power range from 95 to 112 h.p.
