Jubilee Hot Rod

Found this on Craigslist and picked it up over the weekend. Its actually a Worthington G-2 that was used to pull gang mowers at a golf course. It runs really nice, no smoke. It’s a blast to drive. I haven’t taken it above third gear until the front end gets some new tie rod ends to tighten it up plus some matching tires but its supposed to go 40mp in 4th gear. I want to figure out why someone raised the rear of the hood like that and put it back where it should be. Are the Jubilee hood and gas tank mounts the same as the industrial setups? I don’t have another NAA to look at so if anyone has some close up pictures of how the rear of the hood and gas tank are supposed to be set up I would love to see them. Or if anyone actually has one of these I would really like to see some pictures of theirs. It looks like several things have been modified over the years on this one, but sometimes its hard to tell what Worthington did originally and what someone changed 40 years ago.

i have a naa jubilee, and this machine is massively modified from it, the whole frame going beside the engine is not part of the original tractor,and most of the stuff behind the tranny is add on too for a mowing machine, but i think the reason they bobbed the hood and dash is on the original the gauges face up, in other words you have to be above them to read them on this lowered machine you probably wouldnt be able to see them,
 
Actually the hood is the only Jubilee thing about it. Turns out the engine, clutch and 4 speed transmission are an early 60s Ford industrial unit and it is actually the 172ci engine. Should give it that extra grunt for 4th gear acceleration!

It looks pretty standard Worthington to me except for the spacer on top of the rear tank support. Maybe a PO needed to adjust the valves and couldn't figure out how to roll the valve cover out and was afraid of removing the hood and tank.
