Found this on Youtube. It is a ad for the Ford Jubilee tractor. Kind of neat to watch.
Ford Jubilee Ad

Classic propaganda. We had a neighbor who bought one and he told the most amusing stories of how he plowed his farm eleven inches deep how he almost wrecked his IHC 52 combine by overpowering it. He told that this giant was too powerful to run a sawmill that was struggling with a McCormick W9. As a young boy I believed his stories and was so badly disappointed when we got a 850.

i like it ive been using a jubilee for over 30 years, finally bought it 15 years ago, and went thru it, its good as long as you respect the tractors limits , its a 30 hp tractor not a 100 hp tractor

I notice the only time they are plowing more than a few inches is when they have the camera in the furrow.

I have a Jub, very practical multi-use tractor. To plow good you must weight them and then they will pull 2-14's as deep as you want. My dad bought a new one in 1953 and we used a 3 disk breaking plow in our deep soil or an 8 disk tiller plow drawbar hitch for grainland.
Ford built and sold over 77,000 of them in '53 and '54 (same tractor without the front Jubilee badge) so I must assume the users liked them, and the price was very reasonable. Major drawback was lack of live PTO but an ORC makes that no big problem for mowing. Baling or windrowing with PTO is a problem at times if you overload by using wrong gear.

The Ford Jubilee was really a ford NAA. Most tractor collectors I know tell me to check the bottom of all ford that where this style. Some thing about the casting metal could crack on the bottom. I had tow guys who bought some and found it with cracks on the bottom cast steel.To me fard and Ferguson looked the same they might be.

Thanks JD, for posting this. I have 2 Jubilees One for mowing and one with a loader, with added on powersteering. I don't plow with either one as my 1941 9-n will pull 2 14's very well even in hard ground. joe
