I just purchased a ford "judilee". It's a good tractor that's in good shape for an old tractor, but when it eventuaily breaks where is good source for parts. The tractor will have to work for it's keep. I don't want or need a show tractor.

If you have a good New Holland dealer close by, that would be a good place to start. Also, just go to Google and type in "NAA Tractor" and you will get many hits of places selling everything from sheet metal to lift arms to radiators. Just remember that the Jubilee is really a NAA model and you won't have a problem for most parts.

Soundguy will probably answer your post too and he has a lot of good source info.

I had a Jubilee at one time,actual, a friends tractor who let me use it for several years until I bought a tractor.Anyway, like jinman said start with your Ford dealer, you'll be surprised at what they can still get.I'll tell ya right now that the Jubilee is one tuff tractor.

What parts you need?

Easy things like oil filter can be had at the local parts store.

Spin on filter:

napa 1515, 1452
fram PH8A
Motorcraft FL1A

Cartridge style:

napa 1004

Post your sn... the first 22K or so had the sn on the block, upper left front side.. after that there was a beveled flat ont he bellhousing aft of the starter where the SN was stamped.

As Jinman said.. all jubes ( 53 aniversery edition ) were NAA models.

134ci red tiger engine.. about 33 hp.. 4 spd/non live pto stock fromt he factory, and has live hyds.

get a service manual.. at a minumum. and fo-19 I&T.. or more preferable.. the ford serivce or dearborn shop manual.

Naa is a decent tractor.. I have a 54.. mostly it sets now since i also have a 660 and an 850.. simialr tractors with more capabilities.. etc.

try john smith at Smith's Old Ford Tractors for some used parts

try Antique Tractors - Yesterday's Tractors : Antique Tractor Headquarters parts section for many parts

as well as The barkley's at Just 8N's

tom i don't have anything to take a picture, but i might try drawing . i am afraid you still wouldn't know what it looked like. it's just an old tractor runs real good , brakes are bad, paint has faded, headlights work(i disked up my garden last night) tires in fair shape and it's seems easy on gas and a heck lot better than my other tractor( a 25 hp farmpro) and only cost me $1500. don't know if that was a good price or not but the man said if didn't like it he would give me my money back.

Running NAA go for about 2000 for a ratty one and up.... you did good.

Are the brakes really gone.. or do they just ned adjusting.. Brakes use a start whell adjuster.. thus a big flat blade screwdriver and a jack is all ya need.. jack up a side and adjust and spint he wheel.. adjust till the brake drags, then back off a turn.. then do the other side and level pedals..

Soundguy thanks for the info. I think that this tractor is 54 or 55 model, by the hood emblem. I was told by a ford expert (the old man that lives down the road) that the 53 model that jubilee on the emblem and 54 and 55 just hard stars. It starts and runs strong, but the seat is hard on my back.

Uh oh. . . The brakes are completely mechanical. The fluid you are seeing must be from the differential. It means you have a bad axle seal and oil has probably soaked the brake shoes. That's why the brakes don't work. Do you have leaks on one side or both? I have a '54 Jubilee with the same problem (amongst others).
