This 1953 Ford NAA Golden Jubilee tractor was reportedly purchased new by the founder of a coffee farm in Merida, Venezuela, and is said to have remained in his family for nearly 70 years before being imported to the US by the seller in late 2019. Subsequent service included paintwork, a 12-volt electrical conversion, and replacement of the gauges and badges according to the seller. Power is from a 134ci overhead-valve inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and features include a live hydraulic system and power-take-off. This NAA is offered with a Florida bill of sale.
The NAA was introduced in 1952 as an enlarged replacement for the 8N series, and the Golden Jubilee featured a streamlined hood with a badge commemorating 50 years of Ford. The seller reportedly performed paintwork on the white panels following importation, and the engine, transmission, differential, and suspension components are finished in matte brick red.
Six-bolt front wheels wear older pie-crust rubber, while the 20″ eight-bolt rears are mounted with 11.5-20 Goodyear agricultural paddle tires. The Golden Jubilee was equipped with a live hydraulic system that permitted simultaneous use of the rear power take-off and other accessories.
Controls include a hand throttle, twin pedals for individual rear brakes, and levers for the PTO and hydraulic system. A new tachometer as well as oil pressure, coolant temperature, and amperage gauges are said to have replaced damaged instruments under current ownership. Total operating hours are unknown.
The 134ci overhead-valve inline-four sends power to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The upper hood is fixed and conceals the fuel tank. The electrical system has been converted to 12 volts by the seller.
Additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery, which shows corrosion on the exhaust system and elsewhere.
