It's a workhorse and worth restoration in my opinion especially that it was in your family. I just bought a 1941 9N. Getting it ready to work this spring. Amazing they still make parts for these old machines. Says something for their design reliability and work readiness. The Ford N series NAA Jubilee were built to last. My grandfather had a 1962 Ford 2000 I used to operate while he'd hook up logs to skid out. He had his own sawmill also. Just rambling.
I like this so much. My dream is to open a farm where I grow vegetables and stuff like that. If I had to buy a tractor of course I would be considering buying a used one because I can't afford a new one, but just imagine if I happened to find an abandoned vehicle. It would be cool to work on it and restore it. Of course I know it requires experience and hard work but it'd make me so happy. I'm happy you're bringing this machine to its former glory
I'd recommend an 8N as the earliest model. The 8N has the brakes both on the right side whereas the 9N and 2N have a brake on each side and it's difficult to work the clutch and brake on the left side. A little more power also but not much else different. Just sayin.
This is great. I just purchased my first tractor and it is identical to yours. Same year and about the same shape. Where do I find used original Ford parts as many parts of my tractor are missing? Bars, arms, lights, and I would like to get original parts I can restore rather than purchase new aftermarket. Not that aftermarket parts are not outstanding and even improved, I just want all the old stuff on my old tractor. Thank You!!
Love stuff like this but I know myself well enough that if I had 2 tractors that I'd restore both. That's why I could never buy a parts vehicle. I'd buy aftermarket parts and make what I couldn't buy. Can't wait to see the finished product!
@@fulldrawfarm7232 I forgot to add -he taught me the basics of preventative maintenance and how to grease every grease fitting on a jubilee before I cranked it up. My grandfather was a retired Roundhouse Superintendent for the railroad and was a stickler for PM. I had to check everything before I was allowed to crank it up. A real learning experience for a ten year old. I better not miss a grease fitting because he checked up behind me and he would assign me to a new Ford tractor every few days to see if I had learned my lessons, well. If I let it out low on oil, gas or coolant, Captain Jack was not to forgiving. He farmed 2,500 acres in South Georgia with a couple of Jubilees, an 8N and a Johnny B high row model.
Family still has a Golden Jubilee that my Grandfather bought new. Only tractor left actually. All original still, purrs better than a kitten, but could use a fresh paint job.
Greg the only reason the guitar is too loud is because when I posted the video originally RU-vid filed a copyright claim due to the music I had playing in the background on my radio. So I had to edit in a little more volume on the guitar. I solved that problem in number two. Numbers three and four are both posted as well check them all out. Thanks for watching
I'm going to be going through my great grandpas Jubilee soon here. I've done a Super H and Super M Farmall... How would you compare working on the Ford/parts availability to the IH tractors?
@@fulldrawfarm7232 Thanks! Were you able to find a sleeve and piston kit to go oversize on the bore for more cubes? Haven't finished watching your vids yet.
The reason for that is I had to increase the volume of the music. RU-vid didn’t like the radio music playing in the background and final they copyright claim against me. I had to try to drown it out. Sucks but I learned a lesson
If you have an NAA the serial number is on the left side of the engine block, just below the head or left side of the transmission housing, just behind where the starter is. Run that number you’ll find year. If it’s a Jubilee like this one it’s a 1953. It’s a 50th anniversary model, thus the name. Good luck
I really enjoy the content but at my age, that background music makes it impossible to hear your narration. I am more interested in what you have to say than the guitar strumming in the background. I know this will directly contrast to other's remarks about the music.
Yeah the problem with that video was that I got a copyright claim because of the song on the radio in the background of my shop so I had to increase the volume of the background music
I had no choice but to increase the volume because RU-vid hung a copyright claim on me due to the music that could be heard on the radio in the background. Sorry I ruined your whole day. I hope things turn around for you. Keep your chin up
Had no choice but to increase the volume because RU-vid slapped me with the copyright claim for the background music. Sorry that you think it’s stupid and that you’re annoyed. Just kidding I’m not sorry
@@fulldrawfarm7232 I watched it too see how far u where going too tear it apart and ppl like u buy thangs like that so other ppl looking for a tractor like that and cant find one for ppl like u buy them jest too destroy it so no one else can get it and instead of u going too a tractor scrap yard to get the parts u need and that jest shows u have more money the brains and that is the dame truth
