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.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
