Need help identifying year

[Steve (NC)]

Looks like I need some help identifying year of tractor. I know I have an NAA. I found three serial numbers.
NAA-70063 or NAA7006B under brake pedals
NAA-4013-C on rear axel
NAA-4024C under PTO engage arm.
The emblem on the front has all stars around it.
In my infant knowledge of tractors, the serial number says 53 but the emblem says 54.
Thanks for your help and patience.

I know squat about Jubes but John Smith's site does. Maybe this will help.

Steve, what you found are part numbers and not the serial number. The serial number is located in one of two places on the Jubilees. Either on the engine block (early 53"s upper left hand corner) or on the surface by the starter. I suspect you have a 54 if the front emblem is surrounded with stars. If the carb is original,you might even find the correct year stamped on the brass plate on the side.

OK. Thank you everyone for the email, especially Richard. Had to chissel some paint away. My numbers were not raised. I've attached a picture of the serial number and the emblem. Is it possible I have a mish mosh of parts? I saw 9N on the lift arms.
Thanks guys,

Steve........congrats on having an early 1953 Jubilee s/n: 7337. Yes, the engine s/n is weakly hand stamped and can be difficult to read.

Ford saw NO REASON to change part numbers when used on different tractors. That is why the original 9N p/n is on yer 3-point lift arms......Dell

Serial number reads 73379 to me - makes it a very late '53 Jub - maybe they ran out of Jub emblems for the front and put a '54 emblem on it. Part numbers starting with 9N means they are using common parts unchanged from the early tractors, so they didn't change the part numbers.

Serial number reads 73379 to me .

I agree but there is a big gap between the Diamond & the first 7. Is that normal or could there be another number hid in there?
(this could get like a Simpsons episode) :lol:
