County super 6

Combines produced after 1964 will have the Dorset engine. Combines made right into the 1980's will have this engine, so you should get somthing. This looks like the Fordson engine but the Injector pump bolts dirctly to the timing gear housing. One of these engines will work with slight modification to the front engine mounts.

The engine you should have is a 1962 to 1964. The 1957 to 1961 will also work, but this engine has a pneumatic govenor, again, no big deal. The 1962-1964 engine also has the letters "FL" cast on the cylinder head near no1 and no2 injectors. See my description in a post below.

Just as a thought, there would be one advantage with a Dorset, parts are easier to get. The Dorset replaced the 510E Thames Trader Diesel, and it has dry sleeves and is slightly more powerfull. This engine was produced in various forms from 1965 to about 1995. Later engines did not have sleeves.(Post 1970).
Best of luck and keep us all posted.

The 590E engine is a very common engine in England... used extensively in Ford Thames trucks or lorries, and also used in Ford combines. Your best bet in the United States, will be to look for Ford combines in scrapyards... and see if you can come up with a 590E if the back half of your tractor is just like a Super Major.

Records indicate that only 18 County Super Sixes were imported to the USA. Exclusively through Southern Ford Tractor based in Florida. However, many used Super Sixes have found their way into the United States from Canada. There were several Super Sixes at the big Ford show in LeSeuer, Minnesota last year. That longer stroke, six cylinder engine is so smooth compared to the 220 cid four cylinder engine. They are a fun tractor.

What is wrong with your engine? Most of the parts from the four cylinder will fit the six.

Like I said before, the engine is a strech version of the Super Major. There is another big six that fits easily but I am not sure of the avialability in the US. They is also an English Ford truck called the "Cargo" that has a 360 and 380 CID six. These trucks were built from 1983 to 1995. They are simlar and will fit without too much hassle. The original engine is a 330 CID six cylinder diesel. They are rated at 100hp at 2400rpm but I think they are derated to 85hp at 1800rpm in the tractors.

Ah yes, another idea, these engines were also sold in New Holland and CLAAS combine harvesters, The engine you want is a 1962-1964. Like I said, the later version fits. Try some place that wrecks combines.

Keep posting if you have no luck, and keep me posted, I will try to think of somthing else.

The engine you want is identical to a Super Major Engine except two extra cylinders. Identify it as follows,

The Cylinder head will have a nunber 510E on he injector pump drive side.

The injector pump is mounted half ways bach down the engine and there is an external drive shaft to the injector pump.

This engine has the same bore and stroke as the 220CID four, thus its 330CID. It shares bearings, pistons, rings, con rods, injectors and timing gears with the Fordson. Obviously the sump and head gaskets are not the same.
