A un-restored 654 (Super-4) at Belvoir Castle show in 2006
The County 654 was a improved version of the County Super-4 tractor built from Nov 1964 to June 1968. It was replaced by the County 754 an uprated version, on the revised Ford 5000 skid unit in May 1968.
History 
Edit
- For brand history, see county.
Design & specification Edit
The tractor was based on the Ford 5000 Skid unit, and replaced the County Super-4 based on the Fordson Super Major skid unit. Initially called the County Super-4 5000, the name was changed to the 654. (i.e 65 hp 4-wd tractor). Latter models followed this numerical numbering convention. Thus being re designated as the County 754 in 1968 when the Ford Force version of the 5000 was released with a 65 hp (48 kW) engine.
