County

The story of County Commercial Cars began in 1929, with brothers Ernest and Percy Tapp pioneering the transformation of Ford trucks from 2x4 to a more robust 4x6 drive system. By 1948, the company had extended its expertise to tractor conversions, notably adapting a Fordson Major to a track-drive configuration. County truly distinguished itself throughout the 1960s and 70s, becoming renowned for its innovative four-wheel drive conversions applied to Ford tractors. However, the 1980s brought challenging times, culminating in acquisitions first in 1983, and again in 1987 as manufacturing output experienced a significant decline.
