Jubilee Project Progress #10 (Final)

[Walston]

The Jubilee is finished all except some paint touch up which we will do when it is warmer. All the lights have been installed and work great. They are Dennis Carpenter re-pops and I am quite happy with the quality. The color is an 8N gray, so we will fix that when it is warmer. We will install the decals then also. But for now she is headed home to go to work, this Jubilee is not going to be a trailer queen, but will be a working tractor. It is essentially a brand new 1953 tractor.

WOW! very nicejob! Feels good to get done and see it come together. Now time to get it dirty!

very nice job,
if it were mine, two things I would change,

first, buy a front bumper as I would have that nice front grill into a stump or bush in no time flat, plus you can back your 4 wheel wagon much easier when hooked to the front.

second, the throttle lever on the new 53 that I drove when I was a kid was a metal color, not red, again just my two cents.

but a very good job,

Now that's a nice finish. I like how all the electrical and other lines are neatly tied up. I have a 641 and noticed our distributors are clocked different. My #1 cylinder is between your 3 & 4. Just wondered what the reason is?

looks great, walston

i really need to stop clicking on these threads, because the next time i go out to the pole barn and look at my 2N, i'm likely to cry, remembering these pics. and let's not even talk about the WD, the 2N is a pinup beauty by comparison.

I also would have gone for a vertical pipe. I hate tailpipes. But that's just me. Nice job. My grandfather's jubilee has been on this farm since new, but doesn't look like that.

Obviously a humbling experience for your blue truck,
to be in the presence of such greatness!

Looks amazing...one question....your drag links for the steering...did you get new drag ends or replace old "Dust boots with new poly ones?

 

[ASEguy]
