53 Ford Jubilee

[dgl24087]

I have one of these tractors, and for being 56 years old it runs better then I do. MY question is what is the H.P. rating at the PTO? I know that when new the enging is rates at 32 HP, but from what I have read, the HP at the PTO is somewhat less. I am thinking about getting a PTO driven chipper, and want to make sure that the tractor can actually handle such a load.

I think you should be safe callint it 30hp at the pto if compression are within minimum specs, and carb and gov, and ignition is up to snuff.

My guess is the dirt-bag sold it out from under you, and didn't have the 'stones' to tell you so! By telling you it was scraped, maybe he felt you'd feel sorry he got so little for it!! Would have been fun to say "Oh, what scrap yard, I might like to chase it down for parts!"

I bought a jubilee and Massey five foot shredder for 600 dollars and it is a power horse and runs great!

600$ for both? mower MIGHT be worth that alone..
