Ford jubilee questions

Recently bought a jubilee from a widow, who said her husband had this tractor for over 30 years.
The hood emblem just has the stars around it.
I finally found the serial number located just back from the starter and according to that it is a 1953
But sometime the engine was changed to a 172. Don't think they made any from the factory like that. So, is it considered a golden jubilee or a Heinz 57 ? Thoughts ??
 
Ford Motor was founded in 1903, so the Jubilee year was 1953. It had a 134 cu. in. OHV
engine. in 1954, pretty much the same tractor became the NAA. In 1955 pretty much the
same tractor became the 640 in the 600 series. It was joined by the new 800 series which
had a 172 cu. in. OHV engine
 
Heinz 57. LOL There are darn few Ford tractors from that era that are 100% like they should be. The ability to use a wide range of parts from different models made them easy to maintain by switching things around. Bad motor in the 1953 but a good motor and bad transmission in the 800. Switch the motor.

Remember these were working tractors until the last 30-40 years. Collecting them did not really start until the 1980s or so. A guy using it for work would like the extra horse power.

I'm trying to get this back to as original as I can but will leave the 172 engine in it. Replacing one axel and both rear hubs, bearings and seals. All new wiring, guages, changing to a vertical exhaust. This will be a working tractor for brush hogging. Going vertical because I set a fire with a 2N blowing Sparks... don't want that to happen again !
