County 1164

[Mike Hill]

I have the opportunity to have for free a County 1164.The Engine is likely Seized as its been sitting outside with the Exhaust open for a few years.Its on a Farm thats going up for sale soon.

 

1)What would an approximate cost of a replacement Engine be?

 

2)Once replacement Engine is installed and it all works well,what would it likely fetch after a coat of Paint?

 

Other than the Engine the Tractor looks pretty good.

forestry or ag spec mate?

Don't know.

 

It dosn't have any plating under the machine,I guess its Ag spec?

easy way to tell is has it still got its lift arms, hitch etc as they are usually taken off to mount winches and crane pumps etc

[Mike Hill]

Its not got lift arms on the Back.Its in an area that still does a bit of Timber extraction.The Farm is up for sale after the owner died.Its about three hours drive,I should have taken photo's of it.I'd have to tow it to a loading bank and then pull it onto the Truck with the Hiab.

 

Mission.

Towing bar on the back of the mog? it should only take you a couple of days...be a great workout with no power steering:001_tongue:

I may be gettign my wires crossed a bit somewhere, but I think the earlier ford Cargo engines can be made to fit quite simply and give a bit more power as well as better top speed (though flat out as standard mine was scary enough)

 

Price wise, all I know is they are making more than they were when I sold mine.

exhaust open should be ok as they have drain hole in manifold. just check for water in oil, or better still change the engine oil before starting

Good to know!

 

I just spoke to a Tractor Enthusiast in Wales.He sayes the Engine is common to a number of early ford Tractors?

 

Any more help is welcome.
