Ford/County 1164: water-cooled six-cylinder diesel four-wheel-drive tractor from the Super 6 line, 6,582 cc, 74.3 kW and 4,464 kg weight, built 1971 to 1977
County Commercial Cars was a British manufacturer based in Fleet, southern England, which built its own machines on the basis of Ford tractors, fitted with additional four-wheel drive. The 1164 from the Super 6 line used the six-cylinder drivetrain of the large Ford tractors of the period and was built from 1971 to 1977.

The 1164 is powered by a water-cooled six-cylinder diesel engine of 6,582 cc, producing 101 hp, or 74.3 kW, and 346 Nm of torque at 2,300 rpm. At a weight of 4,464 kg, a length of 4,080 mm, a height of 2,590 mm and a width of 2,020 mm, with a wheelbase of 1,818 mm, the machine reaches a top speed of 30 km/h.
The additional front-axle drive considerably improves traction on loose, wet or sloping ground compared with an ordinary rear-wheel-drive tractor, which is an advantage for primary tillage with wide ploughs and for heavy drawbar work. A six-cylinder engine of this size delivers the high torque needed for such tasks at comparatively low engine speed.
When buying a Ford/County 1164 secondhand, the condition of the front axle differential and the four-wheel-drive joints matters most, since these assemblies carry considerably higher loads than on a tractor without four-wheel drive. Also worth checking are the injection pump and injectors of the diesel engine, the clutch and gearbox, and the brakes; parts for the Ford drivetrain are usually readily available through the open parts trade, while County-specific components are scarcer.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
