Ford NAA tractor

I have a Ford NAA tractor that I recently purchased. I looked for a serial number in both of the places that are specified but can not find a serial number. Someone said to check the brass tag on the carburetor that indicates May 1953. The hood emblem is a "non-Jubilee" style. It seems like it may be a 1954, based on the hood emblem. I'm not sure if a May 1953 carburetor would be for a 1954 model year.
Any suggestions or recommendations to pin it down?
 
The true NAA was only made in 1954, The true Jubilee was made in 1953 almost the same tractors other then hood emblem and YEAR MADE

Both the 1953 and 1954 model year tractors were officially the NAA model. The "Golden Jubilee Tractor" was just a marketing name that they used for the 1953 model because it was the Golden Jubilee (50 year anniversary) of the Ford Motor Company. Look up NAA on the parts site and you'll see that it was made from 1952-1954. Try to look up the Jubilee or Golden Jubilee on the parts site and you will not find it because it was never an official model name.
 
(quoted from post at 21:09:11 12/21/22) What does the casting code tag say on the lower section of the
engine block under the EAE6015F

The EAE-6015-F is upside down but the lower section has: 35E:2

The serial numbers on the early models were on the engine block, and on the later modes were on the transmission, so it is possible that the engine or trans was swapped out at some point and it has a later engine with no serial number and an earlier transmission, also with no serial number.
 
Don't you mean the later ones had the serial number on the bell housing just aft of the starter on a flat spot????
 
Guys, here are the true facts as there are some myths and other incorrect opinions floating around. First, why would one use a Marvel-Schebler TSX carburetor Date Code
ID TAG to identify a tractor model? Does that seem logical to anyone? The brass Date Code ID tag was only used by M/S to ID the TSX Model Number and the date that the
unit was manufactured. The FORD carb p/n was EAE-9510 and used the M/S TSX 428 Carb. That's it. The M/S Date Code ID Tag has nothing to do with the tractor model year
and block serial numbers. Later, in 1954 when the new 500, 600, and 700 models were released, they also used the 134 Red Tiger engine and used the M/S TSX 580 carb but
either could be used on any 134 CID engine. Carbs could be and were swapped out often by owners just as engines also were swapped out often. See? Serial numbers were
hand stamped as shown when the engine passed QC Inspection. That's it, nothing more. Serial numbers were not ID'd in consecutive order on the assembly line - another
myth. Next, the NAA was the model number used in the succession after the 8N, and was released in September, 1952. It was a completely revamped tractor now using the
134 CID OHV Red Tiger Engine; a much better power plant, along with many other changes such as the steering and hydraulic system. FORD would never use a flat head
engine again. The NAA, released for model year 1953, was designated the GOLDEN JUBILEE MODEL by Henry Ford II as a tribute to his grandfather and the 50 years of
FoMoCo being in business; 1903-1953. JUBILEE was a biblical term referring to 50 years along with GOLDEN denoting passage of time. The tractor was the only module that
carried homage to his grandfather and the companys' roots. There was never a car or truck counterpart. The new NAA would also display a round nose cone emblem that had
GOLDEN JUBILEE MODEL 1903-1953 circular with stars and the red FORD badge and a wheat stalk central. This was only used on the 1953 NAA as the 1954 NAA was virtually
the exact same tractor with only a few minor changes made but kept the emblem minus the words and dates. Fellas put too much into serial numbers. There are also some
castings like heads, axles, and others that may have cast raised date codes but not always so don't rely on ID'g model year specifically to nail down an exact date.
Yeah, it's nice to know your model number and year, but it is more important for you to concentrate on which features exactly you have on yours. The first thing to
look into is whether your new tractor is using the OEM 6V/POS GRN system or has someone switched it over to 12V. This is very important as many switch out jobs, and
some 6V setups too, have been done incorrectly thus resulting in non-starting issues. As a new NAA owner, you can do yourself a huge favor by investing in The
ESSENTIAL MANUALS. Originals can be found in ADS here or on fleabay and all are available as new reprints from suppliers. Since FORD only used the 6V system til later
diesel models, there are no original manuals prior manuals for a 12V setup. However, our resident Electrical Engineer guru JMOR has compiled well diagrammed PICTOGRAMS
with flow charts and actual pictures and using OEM wiring color codes for both the 6V and the 12V setups. You'll have to go to a search engine to find a complete
listing for free downloading. These manuals and documents are the best investments you can make for your new tractor. Get and Read them religiously. Know what you are
doing and for God's sake don't start pulling old parts off and replacing with newer-made junk until you know. Rebuilding originals is always the best procedure.

Yes, the bell housing is part of the transmission housing, so what I said and what you said are both correct.
