I make that same comment on the N board but I'm thinking they're starting to resent me for it there. 
That one is a particular steal.
I wonder if he has the snowplow to go with the frame.

Even if he don't have the blade you can pick one up cheap or adapt one to fit. With the better half of the snow plow, valve,12 volt conversion, Sherman combo, runs and drives how can you beat it for $800 bucks?
Some guys over there are just into N's and some guys aren't. I like the N's and still have a bunch of them but I also have other tractors. If I were to only have one Work tractor it wouldn't be an N.

Thats NOT an N series, but a jubilee series... '53 to '64, over head valves, live hydraulics... 4 or 5 speed transmission, and some came with live pto.. They are a modern design, compared to the N series, and significantly easier, and better, and more hp. Power steering, and external hydraulics were a option on this series as well. Could be had up to 54hp as well.

The point of Kirks' post -It's NOT an N. Also, the NAA Model was released in September of 1952 as the new Ford Tractor Model, designated the 'Jubilee' commemorating the 50 year anniversary of Ford Motor Company. The NAA only was made from 52 thru 54 when the Hundred Series Models were released. The new Jubilee technically is considered a 1953 model and only called that,; the 1954 model was simply the NAA as the nose cone badges designated. the NAA was the first model to use the overhead valve Red Tiger engine, at 134 cu/in. It wasn't until the Hundred Series came out that the 172 cu/in OHV engine was released. The point Kirk is making is why settle for hamburger when you can have steak. he N's were/are good machines and have a place in the world, but if'N you are looking for something more robust an da heavier duty machine, seek out a later Hundred Series or even a Thousand Series. Me, I want a '56 860 next but nothing wrong with a 2000, 3000, or 4000 either.

I like your Dc. I've always wanted one. Looks like it has different front wheels than most.

My dad has a 62 4000 and I have a 9n. I like the physical size of the smaller 9n over dads 4000. 9n is cheaper to maintain. It has smaller tires less expensive tires for one.
Thanks TG, it actually came with two sets of front wheels.
The original cast iron ones and a pair of steel ones.
The man I bought it from, fellow forum member, replaced one
of the cast iron ones with steel to lower the weight for pulling.
That one front rim was more than I wanted to lift!

sotxbill, you may want to check your information source. I have never heard of a Jubilee "series" there was just one. Same as the Ns. I am pretty sure that there was no five speed or live PTO available. In '54 the Jubilee became the NAA, but still the same. 1955 was the start of multiple series and models that you refer to.
You are correct in that the jubilee was a one year tractor, however down here,, the 53-64 series is referred to the jubilee series as the n series'39-'53, 1000 series '65-'75, the 600 series, and the 10 series... and yes it was a naa.. but the new design stuck, and minor improvements were made through '64... Dont need to check anything... ITs a jubilee series tractor, or as some call it, a round top series,,, and some other common names among the tractor traders. Just like down here, we dont have ponds, we have "tanks"... for watering cattle. You dig a hole with a bulldozer, across a creek or sloped drainage field, make a spill way, around the dam, and soon, you have a tank.. takes a couple years for the bottom to silt in and quit leaking but but you have a tank. No one knows what a pond is. And that round top tractor is.. a jubilee series.... And sorry, I did not get the original comment for how it was meant....Too early and the coffee hadnt kicked in yet. ; )

In my part of Nebraska. The auctioneers refer to the 9n and 2n as 9ns. The 8n's are 8n's. The 53-54 are Jubilee's and the newer
ones by the series number 600,800,or 900. Doesn't matter if it's a hundred series or an 01 series.
Can't count how many auctions I've been to that have had a 54 Jubilee according to the auctioneer. Makes some people really mad!

It's probably only those N owners who's attachment is as much to the classic antique appeal as utility, that seem to object.
But being a newbie, I'm sure glad feel like I got in at the ground level here, choosing an NAA for my first . . . since my old Oliver crawler that I barely used cause the engine needed a complete.
But I know what you mean!
Look at this incredibly cheap one as close by as the cultivator I just bought. Ready for new paint almost.

Terry,
Since we're discussing whether something
is a Jubilee or not and whether an 01 is a
Hundred series etc, I'll throw a
correction in the mix here.
A 231 is tecnically not an industrial
model. It is a Utility model. Ford made AP
or all purpose models, Utility and
Industrial models. A 231 was the
replacement for the 2110 - an LCG (low
center of gravity) which was a utility.
It would be basically a 2600/3600 with
shorty front spindles and those low, wide
rears.
I'm wondering if that one is correctly
named tho. A 231 should have a gear type
hyd pump with a filter on it and that one
has a piston pump. Also, the exhaust on a
231 should not come straight up through
the hood from the manifold like that one.
It should dogleg forward and come up
through the hood about a foot forward of
there. I'd say that tractor is a 2110 and
not a 231. But it's still a real good deal
if it runs nice.

Nice score Royse.
We had a WF DC3 when I was a kid. I think
it was a 1953. Sure was a big tractor
compared to our Allis B. Dad rigged up a
crude, oak plank snowplow for it and it
would really push the snow. Iirc it was
basically a 3 sp with a 4th road gear that
was pretty long legged. No PS and a hand
clutch made it not the best tractor for
maneuvering in tight places. I still have
a soft spot for those Cases.

Thanks for posting....nice to see one of those 'impossible' good deals.
In my area, it would be a race between me and a couple of the local tractor jockeys (friends of mine).

To each his own. I have a 1952 8N with a Hi- Lo Sherman that I wouldn't trade for 2 Jubilees. I also have a 1964 2000 5 speed with 2 stage clutch. A jubilee would never be my tractor or choice.

Kirk,
As usual you hit the nail on the head. If I dragged another one home it would come with a to do list as long as my arm. Not enough time left for things that take a lot of time; time that could be spent with kids, playing music, with the wife, etc., etc.
But what I am still willing to spend time on besides chipping away at the unfinished projects is resurrecting old workable implements.
My recurring reminder is from the Bible:
"Store not up tractors on earth,
where moss and rust doth corrupt,
for where your tractor is, there will your heart be also."
