A Step Above An 8N

Model year: 1953 Date Purchased: 2008-10-16 Number of Hours: unknown

"I bought this old tractor with a Wagner front-end loaded attached. It is not reliable, hard to start, and the front-end loader makes the tractor very difficult to steer due to no power steering. 8N was far more reliable, but both are so far outdated they are almost useless. I grew up and farmed 50 acres with an 8N for plowing, setting tobacco, cutting and baling hay. Yes, an 8N will run a hay baler and a Cub for cultivating. Like me, these tractors are worn out and too old for any real work anymore. "

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Live power Cons: Hard to start Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA KY I also considered buying: Ford 641, Ford 601 Workmaster

Great Little Tractor

"I've owned my Jubilee for a couple of years now. Before that it had been through other members of my family since the early 60's. It's a little rough, and is getting some much needed TLC bit by bit, but it runs and operates. The one thing I can say for this tractor is that I work it, and it keeps on going. By work it I mean I haul - foot round bales of hay fairly often, with each bale weighing between 800-1,000 pounds. I use it to blade snow in the winter, and I have a 4 by 6 foot disc that I use to turn the dirt in my horse pen. People look at me crazy when I tell them these things because it's such a small tractor, but at the same time, if people would study the history of these little guys, they would quickly learn that the Jubilee was built for farm work. It was built to plow, and cultivate. It was built to work and pull fairly heavy loads. Besides being a little light in the front end for carrying so much weight, this tractor is a beast. I've been looking for front-wheels that will accept weights but they're kind of hard to find for this tractor since I want to wheels to maintain as close to the original look as possible. Once I find the wheels and weights that I desire, this little beast will be unstoppable."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Absolute Beast for such a small tractor Cons: Not enough weight in the front for the work I do with it Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA KS I also considered buying:

"My father bought this jubilee in 1953 when I was 7 years old. He used it to farm about 10 acres of cotton and corn for about twenty years, and then for garden and bush hog work until he passed away in 2002. I have now built a house on some on the land and I use the tractor to keep the hay field bush hogged and to do other work around the land. This tractor has been serviced regularly and has always been stored inside a shed or barn where it is today. I started discing with this tractor when I was about 11 years old. I had to stand on the clutch to disengage it when I began using it. I use it now, but may want to restore it in the future. It is still in very good condition."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Great machine Cons: Stubborn hydraulics, fuel bowl leaks Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA MS I also considered buying:

"I have an old NAA that I picked up at auction. I replaced a Ford 8N with it. The tractor has been completely reliable the entire time I have had it. No major issues or repairs. It has been a much better tractor than the 8N reliability wise. Nothing fancy, but it starts every time, even in winter."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Cheap reliable. Cons: No hydraulic connections, although you can add them. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: USA OH I also considered buying: Ford 861

"Most of my life on the ranch has been lots of hard work. Even the Jubilee has needed a compression kit, a few seals and a few sediment bulb replacements. However, if you need to repair and maintain a tractor yourself. If I were younger, I'd by one in a minute."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: No electronics to stop it from doing it's job or your job. Cons: Need better cush for my tush and back at this stage of the game. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA MI I also considered buying:

Model year: 1953 Date Purchased: 2012-11-11 Number of Hours:

"I got this tractor pretty cheap after it was left in the woods for a couple of years or more. Gas tank needed redone, carb. rebuilt, distributor was rusted badly, etc. They are not the most powerful tractor, and it lacks live power at the P.T.O. If you really like the looks which I do, and the simple controls, then you would like the N.A.A. Plus the parts are reasonable and easy to find."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Easy to work on and operate. Cons: No live power at power take off. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: USA MO I also considered buying: John Deere 2010, Allis Chalmers 20-35

My New/Old Tractor

Model year: 1953 Date Purchased: 2013-04-27 Number of Hours:

"Just the right size for what I want to do (large veggie garden and small amount of trellised fruit trees, berries and grapes), I have a neighbor farming my larger acreage. I grew up with an 8N, so this is familiar to me. In excellent shape and seems all original---except that like so many in the 1960's someone painted it Ford blue, to make it look trendy, I assume. So I will be lightly restoring it and at the same time returning to Ford red and grey/original colors."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: I basically know this tractor from prior 8N experience. Cons: Need to remember it's size and HP. Type of User: Homeowner 10-50 Acres Location: USA WA I also considered buying:
