Fordson Super Major County.

[TreeTopKid]

Does anyone remember the old Fordson Super Major County especially when fitted with a Cooper winch. I 'd love to acquire one as a project. Have they become collect able ( I bet they have they were awesome ), and what sort of money do they fetch.

I used to ride shotgun on one as a kid hence the interest.

not sure if this will help,
but you can search tractor pages, yesterdays tractor, fordson pages, a friend of mine just bought a fordson super major and he found some forums on those tractors specifically off one of those searches..... sorry I don't have the actual addresses

Yes it was 4WD I was I had a picture of the Ford with the four big wheels (Like a Muir Hill) in my head when I posted so I probably confused everybody. The cooper winch and anchor were mounted at the rear PTO. Thanks! It looked pretty much the same as the Fordson Major except it had the larger forward traction wheels/tires on the front.

Similar. thanks for the photo though. What is that? It looks smaller than a Major. nice trakker though and it definitely has a winch on the back. the wheels on the back look like Massey wheels.

Me too an old JCB man we know used to have a Doe in England. Seriously collect able. He sold lots of old kit for lots of new money! He's retired now. He must have dug out over a thousand roots for us.

Thank you very much Burlman I really appreciate it. I never thought of myself as being into tractor restoration but I've a lot of fond memories of the old mans Major, and others as well. It's something that I have now got to do. Make her look new then drag her round all the shows. I believe you might just have found the right man. thank s again.

There is a local ford dealer near me that has a big wheel FWD major he uses for pulling. Chambers Ford Tractor, Montgomery NY

I'll try and get a pic of it next time I'm out that way.

I'd like that Dawzie I'll also post a picture of my brothers Tractor puller Major Aggro. It's extended, two full length Major Bonnets with a V12 fire engine motor, and a V8 diesel Scania truck engine slaved together. It was a massacre of two Majors but awesome too.
