1953 Jubilee have a Sherman 3-speed??

I had a man help me in the shop at our dealership back in the early 60s and he had a Jubilee with the over and under transmission and also a cut down Chevrolet car that he drove to work in. Some times when the Chevrolet was on the blink he would drive the Jubilee to work. He lived about 20 miles away from the dealership and he said the he could make the trip on the Jubilee in asmost the same time as in the Chevy.

He woulp put the transmission in overdrive and shift up till he was in fourth gear and if he were in a really big hurry he had a wire tied to the throttle shaft of the carburetor and would pull on that to gain extra speed. He said that you should have seen the look on some of the folks who he would pass on the way to town on that tractor doing about 50 MPH. He said that the faster the tractor got the thinner the back tires got and that they would really put up a racket.

Never was late for work!!!!

That footrest/toolbox is a factory deal. Most of them rusted out. If yours is in good condition, BONUS! I think maybe they needed some drain holes drilled in the bottom to prevent moisture accumulation.
