53 Jubilee Value...I dont know what to offer??

2wheelgnnr · Jul 28, 2017

what do you value this potential buy? Not sure what is an avg price for a jubilee here in NY.

metal straight converted to 12v, no major rust. no real missing parts floorboards damaged rusted.

I;ll have to get pics up later.not sure what to offer.

So, the seller is one of those "make me an offer" guys right? Maybe even claims he doesn't know what it's worth? I've often wondered

1) why a person wouldn't give an asking price if he had something to sell, and
2) how he could judge an offer if he was clueless as to its price.

Personally, I'd never deal with anyone who wouldn't give a starting price, even if he says it's firm, at least he's being up front.

2wheelgnnr · Jul 28, 2017

so sorta force him into giving the first offer? I mean as I also sorta put it...its also only worth what your willing to part for it for and if your not using it and its of no use to you!!

Its a partial money and partial trade transaction potentially??

ok I will sorta force him to make first off then I know the ballpark hes in..but what would you guys consider a fair price? I mean we have trailer queens around here people wanting 6k for and working tractors for 1800 but those are all N's not sure how much more I should consider for the NAA???

thanks

Fair price????

Anywhere from $200.00 (scrap price) to $1800.00 in my
area. They are all over CL asking around $2000.00. I
bought one 4 years ago that had a Sherman backhoe and
Wagner FEL for $1850.00. It runs great and am still using
it.

One sold here in ohio a couple weeks ago on a farm auction.Looked close to that
tractor.Had like new rear rubber,but no headlights.It went for 1200.

2wheelgnnr · Jul 28, 2017

When they do that I tell them $1 now what do you want for it. If that doesn't get them to the table or onboard they are probably just goofing with you!!!

If the hydraulic pump isn't round, I would run away from it.
Round means the square pump has been replaced. Square pump is
the old vane pump. Round pump requires new pipes, which are
very hard to find.

I paid $5000 for mine. It came with a 72 inch woods rear mower.
I paid too much for mine. However the man that sold it to me
had put $5000 in parts overhauling it and new goodyear tires
and rims. So I got a free tractor, paid for overhaul. ,

So how much are they worth depend on what's been done it it. I
had to buy a new gas tank, old one was flaking off and screwing
up carb.

Just because the 1953 is called a Jubilee, IMO, doesn't make it
worth more.

I wouldn't buy another one. I would look at 1955 or newer one.
The 1953-54 NAA tractors have parts unique only to those years.
I would look for power steering, live PTO.

...and remote hookups. :lol: [/quote]

In my area if the tires hold air, cranks and runs, and the lift works it would go for $1200 upto $1500

hd6gtom · Jul 29, 2017

800.00 to 2400.00 here. That 1 looks more in the $800.00 range.

sotxbill · Jul 29, 2017

There are LOOKS and there is CONDITION...

does it smoke badly, hard to start, hydraulics take a while to prime and work? Half a turn of play in steering wheel, clutch slip, blow-by out of breather? jump out of gear, leak oil or fluids, pto will not stay engaged? over heat or blow bubble in radiator? have bad tires or rusted out rims?

If its a bad tractor, $500 bucks or less.. or run far away..

If everything is good,,, it only a fair tractor at best.. so 1800 to 2700 around here. higher means its got good tires and a spray can overhaul in addition to being in good shape. Any more than that and you can get into a '65 and newer series with live pto and 8 speed trans with power steering.

pto is not live, hp is a bit low, no power steering, ONLY 4 SPEED transmission (lack of gears needed) and its 65 years old.

But its a heck of a lot better than a riding lawn mower and you grand kids will be using it, if you get a good one, and keep up with it.

think I did good by log splitter and 3oo bucks. starts right up and live hydraulics with external port. there is a lever near external connection? is that a temp cut off or "off" lever fpr the port

tires good one has some crackkng on the tread but no oil leaks my poor 8n leaked out the axle seals....brakes were never good on it with all that oil.

thanks for help all. now I just need to borrow a trailer. LOL

I love old tractors and want to do pumpkin patch....

NY NAA's (I have quite a few)
$1000-$2500 (and at 2500, it would have to be oh so pretty and have the remote valve under the seat....and a combo Sherman..lol)
A running, moving, tires that hold air, OHV Ford for under 1000 just doesn't happen here on tractors that actually make it to a 'for sale' sign.
A NAA for sale for more than 2500...hope they get it, but at that price or above, I'd buy a Hundred or Thousand series.

Pictured tractor....if everything works, I'd go maybe to 1500.

.....my tractor trader friends know better than to ask me to make an offer...I promptly reach for my wallet..."10 bucks"
Ok, we had fun, now what is your asking price?

showcrop · Jul 30, 2017

Geo and Sotxbill have given you some useable info. To assess the lift have the owner mount an implement on the lift see if it hods it steady for fifteen minutes. If you want to assess the engine you can purchase a compression tester for not much money and tell a lot about how strong the motor is. replacing tires is a big expense, the tread on the ones on the tractor look good but the pattern looks old so they could be badly cracked. As it looks, in appearance if nothing is wrong it could bring around $2,000. As you find major things discussed here wrong you need to incrementally reduce your offer.

2wheelgnnr · Jul 31, 2017

I think I did pretty good. tractor is solid all metal there and converted to 12v. Lift seems strong and seems to work. Thinking about it I should test it with a load of some sort but start and runs good no smoke. so probably worth 2200 in this are to my thoughts.......we both made out good. each get something we want and not giving up any real cake or something we still need/.use... Thanks for all the advice.

You guys are too nice. On a make offer deal I always tell em OK, you give me 100 bucks and I'll haul it off for you.
