Hi all, here is a photo of of 1968 pre force County 1004 as bought in early 2007, as you can see the old girl has done her fair share of work but still ran/runs fine.
Regards Len.

It does'nt look too bad. Mainly panel work, oh, and tyres

What was it used for, with those frames and no 3PL.
What will it be used for, eg working or show
Look forward to progress photo's

Hi Kev, not sure but I think at one point it had some sort of crane, it also was fitted with compessor & air tank so that air brakes could be used on the lies of heavy trailors it was pulling. I have since done away with this and made it agri spec with hydraulics.

Hi Len...

Looks like you are farther along than I am with my 954.

Could you a post a couple of pics for me?

- Power steering reservoir and hose routing
- Tach cable and connection on generator

If you need any pics, please let me know. The only difference I think between our models is the upgraded diff in yours.

Last thing - You probably don't want to sell me your headlights

Regards

Hi Miles, will do I'm going down to the tractor today will take a couple of photos for you, the easiest way way to tell the 954 from both the 1004 and the 1124 is that the 954 does not have the huge brackets and the diagonal braces to the side of the engine.
Would love to see some pics of your tractor if you dont mind.
Regards Len.
P.S. anyone know where I could get a "Super 6" badge for the top grill???
P.P.S. Miles those headlamps are repro items in mine got the pair complete with brackets and grey rubber seals for £50
