1953 Ford NAA Golden Jubilee Tractor

This 1953 Ford NAA Golden Jubilee tractor is said to have been refurbished under previous ownership and was acquired by the current owner on BaT in July 2021. The tractor is finished in gray over a red chassis and running gear, and power is provided by a 134ci gasoline inline-four linked with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a Dearborn front bumper, a swinging drawbar, a Cyclone air filter, a tail light, and a rear work light along with a rear power take-off, an engine-driven hydraulic pump, and a three-point hitch. This NAA is offered on dealer consignment in Pennsylvania with a bill of sale.

The NAA Golden Jubilee was introduced in September 1952 for the 1953 model year and featured a streamlined hood along with an enamel grille badge commemorating the marque’s 50th anniversary. This example is said to have been refurbished under previous ownership with a two-stage repaint in gray over a red chassis and running gear. Additional equipment includes a Dearborn front bumper, a swinging drawbar, a tail light, and a rear work light.

Firestone tires are mounted on front 16″ six-bolt wheels and rear 28″ eight-bolt wheels. The tractor is equipped with rear drum brakes and a live hydraulic system that permits simultaneous use of the rear power take-off and other accessories.

The spring-mounted seat is finished in black, and controls include a hand throttle, twin pedals for individual rear brakes, and levers for the PTO and hydraulic system. A three-spoke steering wheel frames a tachometer and gauges for engine temperature, oil pressure, and amperage. Approximately 3,200 hours of runtime are shown on the hour meter, though total operating hours are unknown.

The 134ci Red Tiger overhead-valve inline-four is equipped with a Dearborn Cyclone air filter and was reportedly overhauled under previous ownership. An oil change was performed in 2020.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. Corrosion is noted on the exhaust, and additional underside photos are available in the gallery below.
