That's a nice old tractor. It looks like it still moves, since it has a blade full of snow in front of it. That one was made from a Fordson Major by County Commercial Cars in England. They also made 4-wheel drive conversions for different models of Fordson and Ford tractors.

thats a rather odd picture. either my eyes are bad, the camera has goldfish eyes, or something. I just can't get a fix on proportions-either the tractor is 20+ feet long and has 6-foot-tall tracks, or that driver is a midget and the big dodge truck in the background is about 500 feet away and on a small hill.

That's definately a Major under all that iron. I don't know who would have made the undercarraige to convert one like that. The only Ford crawlers I'd seen before were on Aummans Album. There was an industrial model on a D2 Cat undercarriage that came out of the northwest. Then there were two earlier red and gray Fords on Cletrac undercarriages. They were something that Ford engineers were working on.

Looks to me like it's a County.... that's what the add says anyway. It also looks old enough to be Fordson based rather than 'Ford' based but I really don't know. Try researching County and see what that turns up.

I believe they were based on a Ford 4000 or 5000 engine, tranny etc but the final drives and tracks etc were built by a company in Italy or somewhere like that. Never seen one in person. Don't know how well they held up though I do know the 4/5000 were as good a tractor as anyone ever built.
