Ford celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in 1953, and marked that feat with the introduction of a completely new Ford NAA tractor. This compact tractor was built to replace the Ford N-Series tractors that had been released back in 1939. The 1953 NAA had a 50th Anniversary Golden Jubilee badge on the nose of its already stylish hood, signifying its importance. Because of this easily identifiable badge, the NAA was also known as the Golden Jubilee. The NAA was also released in 1954, although without the anniversary badge, and only had a change in gear ratio.
The Ford NAA had a 134 cubic inch, inline four-cylinder engine that ran on gasoline and gave farmers 32 horsepower. The four-speed transmission would get farmers going at nearly twelve miles per hour. The NAA had Solid System hydraulics that relied on an engine-driven pump, making a live PTO optional. This was different from the N-Series in that they came standard with a PTO-driven hydraulics pump. The Golden Jubilee was also a bit larger than the N-Series of tractors. The tractor had a wheelbase that measured at 73.875 inches, the length at 119 inches, a width of 64.75 inches, and height of 74 inches. It also weighed 2,814 pounds, which was about a hundred pounds heavier.
The serial numbers for the Ford NAA are as follows:
1953: NAA 1 – NAA 77475
1954: NAA 77476 – NAA 128965
