Hi Robin,
The section for posting an introduction ,is no longer an option due to spam I was informed by the forum.
The tractor came from Jacksons, and was one of a pair both ex Cyprus, previously had been in the Falklands.
I have information relating to seven 1184tw tractors which were procured by the M.O.D for during,or after the conflict
six of these tractors , including mine, had the brockhouse torque units fitted.
I think that all of them went to A.T. Osborne's, A county tractor dealer , and were converted to ford series 10 dual power gearboxes after the Falklands due to the p.t.o shafts shearing under load.
I have a collection of county and muir-hill tractors ,and I also farm. I did consider leaving the tractor as it was , but things were needing done to it, where do you start ,and where do you finnish ?
County tractors have become highly collectible and especially a tractor with such low hours on it.
I decided that if I was doing it, I would prefer it back to an ag unit ,and had it professionally restored by Osborne's
who now sell county tractor spares, and service them.
My tractor's VRN is 07 CP 11.
I would be very pleased to hear from anyone ,who can remember or tell me anything more about this tractor,
or the others which were in the Falklands conflict.
I will post some more pictures I have, and can confirm, that the other 1184 in the photo, is now with a collector.
