Serial Number Location
The County Super 4 features a unique County Commercial Cars build plate, usually found:
-
On the tractor frame near the front left axle
-
On or inside the cab (if fitted)
-
Note: These are distinct from the Fordson Super Major serials, which are often located on the clutch housing or engine block
Most County Super 4 tractors align with post-1962 Fordson Super Major serial ranges, though County used their own tag system.
