Congrats! Good thing to save these legends from the dreaded export of 4-cylinder Fords.

Is that a County 7600 or Ford 7600. (either would be nice)

County 7600 Four, have to to a big job on the motor. Looks a little rough, but mainly paint needed. 70% on the tires.
Please post the leaflet, Pascal
I have no pictures at this time. Picking it up after easter when most of the snow is gone... Its paid though

Make a separate thread of it, Frode. It would be very interesting to follow.

Topic has been split. Had already planned to split it earlier, but had to wait till I got home.

Hi Frode,
Sure no problem. I will try to make a picture of the leaflet before the end of this week.

It's almost Eastern time...the time of Eastern eggs, Eastern bunnies...and Frode's County!
I do hope it's better weather with you in Scandinavia than over here. It's actually snowing a bit in Amsterdam.
It seems like our Eastern is colder than our Christmas last year....
Please take your time with the pictures.

Happy Easter! Weather is good here, sun is shining and the snow is melting. A bit cold in the night, so everything freezes again. Had a look at the County yesterday, and I think it will be at least a month before I can get it. Have to get the truck quite close to pick ut up (its a non runner).
Cab is just brown in color, not rusted through. Panels are straight. Missing some glass. Hood and nose is straight. Will have to build a new engine. Have been outside without the head for a year. I dont know if I will get the complete engine in parts, at least I'm getting the manifold and turbo. Tractor as good tyres all around, double dual-acting aux valve, trailer brake, and the norwegian made protector for the nose.

Frode, looks like you got another fun project! I like the front grill guard, looks good and heavy. Hopefully all the running gear is in good shape.

Wow, what a great tractor, Frode!
Looks very good to me! I guess al the engine parts will be quite easy to obtain?
I hope the weather will be good the coming weeks, so you will be able to pick it up soon.

Hi Frode,
It's a pity, you have to wait so long.
I have recently bought the operator's manual and fitting instructions of the 4WD kit for the 7600-4.
Interested in a copy?

Hi Frode,
I am looking forward to your pictures!
Is the word "County" stamped on the front axle or the 4wd box?

Yeah, on driving the non-blue tractors, you may find yourself driving a tractor with"extraordinary levels of dullness"
