Jubelie

[Steve Lambert]

I found what I thnk is a 53 Jubelie. It has excellent tire"s and the sheet metal is in good shape ie all there and only a few dents. The down side is this tractor has not run for 5 to 10 years. Its tight up agianst a wall and I see the left side to well [dark.] What do you feel it worth. Thanks

500-750$ as a parts machine, cause you don't know much about it.. might have bad trans, lift and engine..

Thats one that could be worth $250 to 700 it could as sound said have big problems or it could be a diamond in the ruff. Good chance the engine is locked up from sitting and all sorts of other problems or it could just need a simple tune up and carb rebuild you never know on one like that, but thats the type I always look for

The 53 is know for broken center housings plus it has the hubs of an 8n.Pig in a poke.

What breaks are you refering to on the center housing? busted diffy at the drawbar bracket holes?

Fellow just had a post about breaking center housing while plowing.Ford made improvments so weak part was only in use for I year.I notice the the part is very hi priced on used part lists.

Weak Center Housing? 28 years ago, I bought one for parts that had been rear ended while being driven on the road. The tranny housing was shattered, but the center housing (hydraulic Reservoir) which BTW, was made for two years, survived intact, and is being used to this day on another tractor.
