    My dad bought one of these back in the spring of 1974 he got a plow and disk a sicklebar mower and cultivator with it from the gentleman he bought it from. although it looked good when he bought it time kinda took its toll but he eventually finally restored and painted it that little tractor was certainly a workhorse it planted many rows of corn and potatoes peanuts watermelons pumpkins and cantaloupes and made many gardens year after year a wonderful machine it was.

    Our farm in Canada used a Golden Jubilee for many years. I remember discing the land at 14 years of age on that beauty...ah memories.

    My late Grandparents use to have one of them on the farm. When my Grandpa died in '78 and a couple years later, my late Grandma retired from farming and sold just about everything, except for that tractor. She took it to her new house, just a half a mile away. We use to call it old Henry. She's been gone since 2014.

    My grandfather had one of these. I spent a lot of my youth riding on it with him and there are pictures of my mom and her brother doing the same. It ran well into the 90s before the engine finally threw a rod. My grandfather had passed away by then but I bet he would have repaired it and kept on using it if he'd still been alive.

    My Uncle taught me to drive on his Ford tractor in the summer of 1954, on my Grandfather's farm in Missouri. I was 6 years old. Once i knew how to handle it, i started getting farm chores with it.

    We replaced our 8n with a used jubilee and have kept it since 1967, and still running strong.

    We still have my grandfather's Jubilee that he bought second-hand in the mid 1950s. I've rode many times with him and now have the privilege of driving it myself now. Wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.

    Love the old Fords! My Grandparents had a 197 acre farm and I grew up driving Grandpa’s 1937 TO-20 and 1953 8N. Love all Old Iron, but the Fords are what does it for me.

    In January we stopped by a Barn Sale just a mile from our home. Nothing we really neede, but for pass 20yrs been looking for a '53 Jubilee, and there setting with 4 flats, was my '53. Asked if it was in the sale, and owner said $500 it could be. Paid the man, and called for a roll back, and rest will be history when it restored. Just wish I was up there riding long side yours, what a beauty it is. Bear in TX, & I was born in '53, so makes it more of a keep'er!

    My heritage I recall using Minneapolis Moline, Framall, Alas Chalmers and Fords. The way of life was such contrast to today, mostly in a fond way. I still have an 8n that I use to mow, and cut firewood with. Nostalgia is as familiar as a scent of a lost flower...

    I had a toy tractor like this one when I was a little kid in the early '50s! Much as I love tractors like this, I can remember a time, back from 1968 to maybe 1972, when I would travel from Jacksonville, Florida, back to school in Tallahassee, and was forever getting behind a mile's worth of slow moving tractor traffic for MILES on Highway 90. Those WERE NOT the days for a kid in his early '20s! But we eventually lost the tractor and finally got going.

    Just started looking at vintage tractors today. I’ve been a classic car guy all my life and never really paid attention to these, but these old tractors are just so interesting. My great grandmother had one of these Fords and recently she passed. I hope the family keeps it around for us to use and enjoy as she did

    What is the V shaped attachment resting on the draw bar. Is custom or did you build. I know what it could be used for but, I have never see one. I have driven a jubilee a million miles. Oh by the way I am 74 years old that's how I was able to get so many miles on the same tractor. Love IT.

  • @double-h-farms
    @double-h-farms 3 месяца назад

    Was the Sherman transmission added later ? Or an option ? Mine does not have it. I've even seen one with the secondary PTO lever left of the seat above the other PTO lever to disengage the tractor while the PTO still runs if you run into jam with baling hay or chopping corn..

    I still have my grandfather's 1949 8n. I know he had a jubilee and a john deere A for sure. Don't know what else he had back then. I'm doing a head gasket job on the 8n, and the radiator was plugged. I cleared it today and hope to have the tractor back together and running tomorrow. Dad converted it to 12 volt in the 1980's. I was driving that 8n by the time I was 7. Still one of my favorites. I'd like to find a jubilee. Doesn't have to be pretty, just functional. All my tractors are antiques. Newest one is late 1980s to early 1990s.

    In 1953 fords inline 6 was a modern overhead valve that actually to fords embarrassment made more HP and torque than their old flathead V-8, No difference between the 52 and 53 V-8 but it was rated with 10 more horsepower so people would still buy it, I see the 53 tractor also had an over head valve system . You would think if something had to be a carry over it would be the tractor
