Short video of my Ford Golden Jubilee

We had two;an 8N&9N and they did well for the time but I don't miss them.We have a local guy that restores them and does a great job;they really look good and run well.

That's a keeper. It'll last another 60 years.

I like those old straddle tractors like your Jubilee, the 8N and my 1964 MF135 diesel.




They're more stable on slopes than platform tractors where you sit high with your feet above the top of the transmission.

Good luck

I've always admired your MF with those flotation tires and the wide stance. Really cool machine!!! Thanks for the pics!

I remember driving the Jubilee when I was so little that I had to push up on the shearing wheel or stop and the transmission was so big my legs got hot trying to straddle it, I mean above the knee.

Great story! That reminds me... The guy that was gonna buy my tractor wanted it for his grand kids to drive. The way they peddles are set up pretty much any height person can push the brakes and clutch!

My neighbor just got a jubilee for his place and it sure does bring up memories of the old days. I almost want to get another one but I think I'll keep the Massey.

I have the opportunity to buy a golden jubilee that has had engine overhaul and was painted at some point. Is $3000 a good buy?

Might be a little steep. It looks like it's missing some original pieces. And when folks over spray paint onto the tires it makes me wonder about the quality of their work. I would pass.
