Ford Golden Jubilee on LP

Anthony76 · Apr 22, 2014

Did Ford ever make any Golden Jubilees on LP from the factory, or was there a dealer kit were they could make the LP

can't tell you if they made em like that or offered a kit while NAA was in production.. however later series using essentially the same 134ci red tiger could be had in lp.. so it's not a stretch that parts could be swapped over. I own a few machines that were converted the other way. FROM lp to gas..e tc..

I almost bought one in Arlington SD that I thought was factory, but now Im not sure? I dont really know how you can tell.

Does the fact that its LP add any value to it or does it take away from the value

The one I found looks like it was from the factory so if it was done by a dealer or farmer that did a fantastic job....Usually one those tractors converted by a farmer you find a welded bracket or something that gives it away.............tractordata.com does not list any LP engines..

Parts site doesn't show any LP fuel systems on the NAA, only gasoline. They made a Kerosene version, but the actual model on that one was officially the NAB.

The parts lists on the hundred series shows the LP fuel system, and the claimed start date was January of 1957.

given how good ford dealerships were at meeting customer requests. it isn't a stretch to think a guy could have brought in his 4yr old NAA when the lp models hit and asked the dealer to convert it for him, tin and all.

if the dealer used all the 57 parts.. it'd look factory i'd think.

value is a cloudy issue that matters most if you are insuring it or selling it.

Past that. it's value to you is what matters most.

If it is not a actual factory setup. then a straight collector purist may not like it.

On the flip side. back in them days, some outside co's did tractor mods.. hi crop conversions and other things.. that was common.

some of those conversions are sought after by collectors.

so it all depends on who, what, when. etc..

Thanks for all yalls input, I am needing to sell it but just didnt have a clue as to its history or value, its a nice little tractor with a loader anyway thanks for all your help

The LP probally hurts cense it rules out many buyers.

probably a kit
One of my Jubilees was propane powered when I got it.
The valves, regulators, etc mounted where the gas tank was supposed to be looked pretty professional. Also had a different water neck and pump to plumb coolant where it needed to go.
As far as value, it depends on the Jubilee it is attached to.
I had no interest in the propane setup, but the sherman equipped Jube was a good deal. Got it home and with stuff I had laying around, I converted it back to gas and sold the propane setup.
good tractor
