1953 Ford NAA Golden Jubilee- 1st start in 5+ years

This tractor was sitting for several years and a building collapsed on it last winter. Watch what it took to get it running again. It was towed into storage because it wasn’t running correctly.

Great tractor. Worked for a farmer in the early 70`s that bought one new. Used it to do all the work needed for his cherry orchards. About 40 acres. Easy to work on. Good job on getting it running better 👏

[@mikeoh5092]

Nice job in making the video. I find my Golden Jubilee is relatively easy to work on and easy to maintain. Treat then right and they won't let you down.

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

That is so true

[@benchamberlain5985]

These little tractors want to run and work! Nice job!

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

It’s a nice older tractor for sure, doesn’t compare to new compact diesel but I think that’s why people like them so much.

[@donkeeton7897]

My dad had one it was a real workhorse.!

[@joehartman517]

Thanks for the video. We're in southwest Michigan and are going to try to start a Jubilee that has been sitting for a couple years. Thanks again.

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

I lived in south west Michigan. Hope it goes well. Thanks for watching

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

Good catch, on that rotor clip. That’s a classy looking tractor!👍

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

I’m so glad I found the exploded diagram of the distributor, it instantly made sense.

My favorite ford tractor

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

They are a cool little tractor

[@WobblinGoblin1]

The '53 Jubilee and '54 NAA were the first pretty good Ford tractors because of the new engine (which, aside from the hood sheet metal and "dash" with the additional gauges, was more or less the same tractor as the 8N). In '55, Ford made a few more improvements (most notably improved brakes) which resulted in an even better tractor. This new series (actually, two different tractors: the 600 and 800 series) was also the first to have power steering and live PTO. Diesel was also introduced in the 800 series. We have a '39 9N, a '50 8N, a '53 Jubilee, and a '54 NAA on our farm. All are under cover, but the two older ones are retired. We'd love to find a 600 or 800 series tractor with power steering and live PTO someday to add to the stable as a working machine.

Thanks for info

Getting one tomorrow!

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

That’s cool.

[@barbaraflores6552]

Thank you so much - this was a wonderful hel[!

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

I’m certainly no expert on tractors but they seem pretty straightforward. Glad it helped you out

[@double-h-farms]

You can get a lot of the important parts for the electrical and fuel systems at tractor supply..

[@WaynesAdventure]

Awesome

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Thank you. Fun little project.

Thank you for the comment. Hope you enjoyed

[@Tinkerbell227]

As the other guy said. You were lied to about this tractor. This is NOT a Golden Jubilee (only called that for the anniversary tractor of 53'). Those were made in 1953 and the emblem said Golden Jubilee with the years 1903-1953 wrote on the outer ring, at the bottom. The 1954 version was the Jubilee NAA with stars all the way around the outer circle. It is only a Golden Jubilee if it was made the last few months of 52' or made in 53'. As I said, starting in 54'. It was called the Jubilee NAA but the tractor itself is EXACTLY the same.

[@Tinkerbell227]

P.S. Those headlights look stupid on the top. They are supposed to be on the sides, were the holes already are.

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Not my tractor, I was told the info from the owner and took him at his word. Thanks for the info

[@garywhite8369]

Do not expect the engine to run smoothly on 5 year old gasoline, it has lost most of the octane it once started with, drain old fuel and put at least 91 octane.

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Sorry if I didn’t show it in the video., I did drain and flush the tank. New gas is always helpful.

[@kerrykurschinsky2451]

OH NO,........not another "hasn't run in 50 years" video.......... the "53" is a good tractor though...... I use to adjust that lean/rich screw,... on the carb,... while standin' on the left runnin' board, pullin' the plow..... I think I was..... 15 yrs. old...........

[@crossroadsmovinghelpers]

What part of the U.P. are you in? I'm in MQT and just got my 1953 NAA running last week. It had sat in a field for about 30 years. Plowed a 200 yard driveway two lanes wide with it yesterday. Works awesome.

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

I’m about 2 hours west. I heard you guys got a lot of snow! Nice job with the tractor.

[@kennetherskine2572]

Love it l needs help

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

A lot of smart tractor guys and gals on KZbin. Hope you can find what you need help with.

[@WeepyGerm]

What’s the link for the clip?

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Is the link not working? I’ll try to send you it

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Link is in description they are $7 for one or I also put a 5pk which was $11

[@BobSmith-ce2zp]

If its a 1953 Golden Jubilee, it has the wrong badge on it.

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

Just going by what the owner said… what year is it?

[@BobSmith-ce2zp]

@@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418 Best thing to do is look at the serial number. You can easily Google that information (should be on the leftside motor or tranny). I believe they only made the NAA for 2 or 3 years but 1953 was the 50th anniversary model (Golden Jubilee).

[@jameslester3861]

That’s the first thing I noticed.

[@fastdadgarage-northsouthch4418]

@@jameslester3861 sorry for any misinformation.. the owner was very sure.

[@backachershomestead]

Last year of 8n was 52. The Golden jubilee started assembly late 52. It was sold as 53. Then regular jubilee naa was 54. That was Las year of production. To my understanding. My 54 has a hi and low trans on it. Also to my understanding not many of those out there. Most or either one or the other.

Hey I've been working on a 78 GMC G35 vandura motorhome if ya wanna come and see it😁
