County Sea Horse at Aston Bank

This is a rebuild of a County tractor that as a publicity stunt crossed the English Channel in July 1963. It has ballast tanks front and rear and each wheel centre acts as further ballast. The tyres are deep lugged fitted backwards to propel through water and a small propeller is driven from the rear PTO. There are no electrics on board as the starter motor is mechanical.
Part of the tractor display at the Astwood Bank Steam and Country Fair.
