1953 Ford NAA Golden Jubilee Tractor

This 1953 Ford NAA Golden Jubilee tractor is said to have been refurbished under prior ownership and was acquired by the seller in 2001. The tractor is powered by a 134ci gasoline inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and features include a Dearborn front bumper, a three-point hitch, and a rear power take-off. Work performed since 2021 involved refinishing the tailpipe and replacing the hood emblem, proofmeter, running boards, fuel line, ignition components, battery cover, radiator cap, muffler, and hitch components. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. This NAA is offered at no reserve in Missouri with owner’s manuals, decals, spare parts, and a bill of sale.

The Ford NAA Golden Jubilee model was introduced for the 1953 model year to commemorate the marque’s 50th anniversary. The engine cover and fenders on this example were reportedly repaired and repainted gray under prior ownership, while the chassis, drivetrain, and wheel hubs were refinished in red. Equipment includes a Golden Jubilee badge, a Dearborn front bumper, a front ball hitch, headlights, a taillight, a rear work light, rear half fenders, and a tool tray integrated in the left running board. Work performed under current ownership reportedly involved replacing the hood emblem, running boards, and taillight wiring harness.

Gray-finished wheels wear 6.0-16 front and 12.4-28 rear Firestone tires, and stopping power is from independent rear drum brakes. The steering linkage dust guards and Zerk fittings were replaced under current ownership, and the seller notes rust on the rear valve stems.

The spring-mounted seat is finished in black. Controls include a hand throttle, twin pedals for the individual rear brakes, and levers for the PTO and hydraulic system.

The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a reverse-sweep proofmeter and gauges for amperage, engine temperature, and oil pressure. The hour meter shows 2 hours of runtime, although total operating hours are unknown. The ignition switch and proofmeter were replaced under current ownership.

The 134ci Red Tiger overhead-valve inline-four is equipped with a single carburetor, and power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Service since 2021 involved refinishing the tailpipe and replacing the following equipment:

• Distributor cap, rotor, points, condenser, and spark plugs
• Fuel line
• Battery ground cable
• Battery case cover
• Battery and starter cable dust sleeves
• Radiator cap
• Muffler

An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale, and the seller notes the engine drips oil.

The tractor is equipped with a hydraulically lifted three-point hitch assembly, a rear power take-off, and a live hydraulic system that allows for simultaneous use of the PTO and other accessories. The lift arm gearbox has reportedly been replaced, and recent service involved replacing the lift arms and stay chains.
