      Mine did too...1st thing he bought after getting rid of the horse...My dad rebuilt it, it went to my uncle in Manheim, Pa...and was later sold in the 1980's...still running somewhere.
      My uncle had John Deere (3 of them) - the 1st one still had a belt drive wheel on the side! Now THOSE were dangerous...live belts? 😂
      Those old Ford's were good, and there was an adapter kit made to put a flathead V8 in it!

    65 years ago, I bush-hogged with an 8N Ford. What I remember most, was the power takeoff was live, You could clutch it and the mower would keep pushing the tractor!
    After the mower pushed me through a bob wire fence at the end of the field, i learned to kick it out of gear and then try to brake. Memories!

    We had a 49 Ford tractor back in the mid 50s. I said "had" becaue my older sister filled the gas tank up and forgot to put the gas cap back on. When she started it up, it caught fire. I am 71 now, and I can still remember my sister jumping off the seat, grabbing the pillow she was sitting on and beating the fire out. My dad bought a brand new Masey Ferguson diesel tractor after that little episode.

    During the summer of 1966 I worked on my college's grounds crew. We had many acres of grass and an old beat-up worn-out Ford tractor + bush hog for the task. The seat was partially rusted out, so we used a feather pillow from one of the dorms to keep the tractor's seat from digging into the driver. I was the only farm boy on the crew, so the boss always put me on the tractor. One afternoon while mowing a rough section at fairly high speed, I hit a bump and bounced up off the seat. The pillow was right behind me. I landed on the seat but the pillow hit the ground...and I bush-hogged it! It looked like a white-out blizzard in July!

    Back in the sixties my Dad had four Jubilee’s ,each hooked up to different appliances to do custom plowing (Garden) tilling, hay cutting etc. so that when he came home from his day job he could just jump on his tractors and go. Or myself on one of the others. Before that he more or less got me started on two Massy Harris “ Pony “ tractors. Which I preferred because the mowing machine was underneath the engine which kept your neck looking forward all the time rather than trying to watch what was behind on the Ford. Don’t get me wrong, still love the old Fords. Loved the overdrive in them also from getting to job to job.

    I worked on a dairy farm back in 1966 when I was 14 years old and drove a Ford tractor just like that. I used to haul silage out to the cows with it. I had a full trailer of silage and accidentally let the clutch out too fast and popped a wheelie. Lesson learned.

    Hey Tyler and Brittany, you guys are doing a great job... always enjoy your videos. Tyler I've done very similar things as you do for over 50yrs. I have a nice little "Z" scar from a twistaflex watch band (45yrs ago) on my left wrist from an alternator positive to something... and a permanent ring scar (25yrs ago) when my wedding band caught on a ladder bracket after I finished strapping to my truck rack, jumped down and if it hadn't been for my tip toes touching the ground, I fear my finger would be gone. The ring went right to the bone and is now shape like a pear. The ring now hangs on a nail. Jewelry and working men don't go together! It only takes a split second when these accidents happen. My thoughts.

    The Jubilee is special because it’s my birthday tractor. Me and the Jubilee were born in the same year. I’ve owned three 8Ns and one 9N, but I never had the opportunity to buy a Jubilee. Always wanted to buy one and rebuild it from the ground up. At my age, opportunities are getting more rare. Enjoy it, it’s a great small farm tractor. Add a rake and a baler to your bush hog and you can make money selling the high grass as food for cattle. Add some alfalfa to your fields and you can sell it as hay for horses.

    Also, I do find these type of videos relaxing. The before and after of the work done is nice. My back often hurts after hours on my old Farmall 140 but I still like it. Speaking of crops and pumpkins, I have a nice pumpkin vine with blooms from discarded seeds from where I carved out one last Halloween and hoping I might have a pumpkin from it this year. I did have a perfect pumpkin from carved out seeds many years ago. Gotta change the oil and filter in my Farmall for this season soon.

    We had a '53 Golden Jubilee and I loved that tractor. We used it for tree planting also so we changed the exhaust to come alongside the hood and straight up. . . . . should have come from the factory like that. The crappy part of mowing with it is the lack of live PTO.

    Ford tractors do have a neutral safety switch that will not allow you to start the tractor unless you put the tractor in neutral. It will be a push button switch in front of the gear shift that has a mechanical device that will not allow you to push it all the way if the tractor's in gear. Unfortunately most of these were bypass by owners with a switch on a dash.

    Battery post not fitting. If you have a piece of 1/2" copper you can cut a slot in one side about an inch long. Then cut a 1/2" off the pipe. Now you have an adjustable sleeve that will fit over that skinny battery terminal and the ground clamp will tighten down on that. Won't wiggle off like the clamp that bottomed out on you.

    Your tractor is the same year as me. I hope I still have as much life in me as that old tractor has in it. Back in the 70s I ran a 8N, and a 52 Massey Harris, they did their share of work, mostly fencing work, holes & posts. These days all I have is an off grid homestead, 70 acres, and a John Deer track loader. A nice new 1959, well not so new, and the solenoid crapped out last week. sucks, I use that to load the saw mill. Speaking of sawmills, that LT 40 sure looks sweet, good to see young folks getting it done. Bless you both, take care.

      Are you sure that it was not a Ford Ferguson or a Massey Ferguson? They look almost identical.
      When Henry Ford started putting the Ferguson 3-point hitch system on his tractors he called it the Ford Ferguson because he put the Harry Ferguson three point hitch system on it. That system is still used on nearly all tractors to this very day.
      Harry Ferguson went on to make his own tractors the little gray Fergie.
      At that time Henry Ford kept using his three-point hitch system without permission and got sued.

    We had a Jubilee that we used primarily as a loader tractor until about 1970. I was the unlucky one as a teenager who had to use that thing more than anyone else on the farm. Always seemed about 10 hp less when you were in the field than it was in the promotional literature lol. Hated that thing mostly because it was just too small for our needs. Our BIG tractors in those days were an 830 and a 930 Case, so we still needed that Ford to do actual work, not just puttering around. The lack of traction and power plus having to use pto adapters for everything and no proper drawbar made it difficult to like. It was a great day when the truck arrived in our yard with a brand new IH 574 loader tractor so I could finally roll that Jubilee out behind the barn and forget it existed! YMMV. Fun to watch the thing working in your yard though. Just happy I don't have to rely on it. ;-)
