Barn Find

I just bought the contents of a barn in North Alabama. Along with a 30 gallon Air Compressor there is Tractor. I think it’s an 8n but I’m not sure. I cannot find a Serial Number as it was fairly dark in the Barn.
can any of you tell me which Tractor this is

I think it is either a Jubillee or a 600 Series tractor...the Ns did not have that Hood ornament

Take a look at this to see if it helps you find the #

this will open to the 8N ...but you can see the previous and succeeding models and where to find the number

Thank you, would you happen to know where to look for the Serial number
Click on the link I posted in post # 3
I just did , now I know where to look. Thanks again. I’m going to try to get it on a trailer tomorrow, if the rain holds off .
The valve cover is too high up to be an N series tractor, too

I looked at the emblem and the Jubillee has Jubillee on it and the 600 has a 600 on it
It does not have the Jubilee emblem on the front
I believe you are correct

Does your emblem have anything on it?
It does not have the “Golden Jubilee 1903-1953”on it scrolled around the emblem unless it was just painted on instead of embossed
Yes, it is a 1954 NAA. It is the same tractor as the 1953 NAA, but 1953 was the 50th anniversry of the Ford Motor Company and old Henry was a Bible thumper, and in the Bible a 50th anniversary is called a Golden Jubilee, so he proclaimed that year as the Golden Jubilee of the company. So they stuck that Golden Jubilee badge on the front of the NAA for that one year only. The words Golden Jubilee 1903-1953 were in place of most of the stars that go completely around the perimeter on the 1954 NAA badge. The Jubilee only had 2 stars on each side near the bottom, and I definitely see more starts that that in you picture.

Thank you. It has set up for about 7 years so I have a lot of work to do before I attempt to start it. But unless the key is in the ignition, are keys easy to get or do I need to change out the switch. And is a 6 x 10 trailer big enough for it or do I wait till I get a 7 x 16 trailer

Y’all been a great help so far and I’m grateful for it.

Since it’s a NAA Will any further posts I make still go here or somewhere else. I will post the serial number if it’s not worn away
Thank you
Looks a lot like my old 641. I'm not sure about all of the 600 series, but my 641 had an overhead valve engine, and I think all of the N series were flat heads.

TD says front end 52"-80" wide and rear 52'- 76" wide. I'd stick a tape on it?
