You may want to check your serial number with an established authority. Jubilee's (NAA is the real model number) were only '53 or '54 year models. The '53s were the "Golden Jubilee's" and the '54s were just "Jubilee's". Look at the medalion on the nose. If it has stars around the circumference, it is a Golden '53. There were 2 different types of pumps used on the Jubes. A vane type on the early '53s and a piston type there after. The piston pump can be retro fit to the vane models and they work better so if you are building work tractor go with the piston pump. If you are building a perfectly correct show tractor, a vane may be what is called for based on your serial number. Have seen several of both types at salvage yards and tractor show swap meets. We rebuilt our pump and saved some cash since most of the ones we saw needed rebuilding also. Got the parts from the Ford shop. You may be able to buy a rebuilt pump complete from some of the large tractor supply houses but I don't know since we did not go that route.
