Thank You for all the advice. Recently got the Jubilee back in running order thanks to your help and a few parts from Ford/New Holland and TSC. I replaced the water pump, shaft and pulley (all one piece from FNH), had the radiator re-cored, after the old radiator was damaged when the fan came oft the shaft, and installed front heat lights and a rear work light. I had asked for and received advice on all these projects from you folks on the board. I had also been reading posts regarding snow plowing and got the chance to try my hand at it for the first time two weekends ago. I had worked Friday night and Saturday during the day in the garage repairing the tractor. It was cold (21F) but work went well. Sunday morning was -5F, but the Jubilee started right up. We had 8-9 inches of snow on Saturday, our drive way had been plowed by my wife’s cousins who also are the Church Sextons and plow our church lot a mile from the house. Our next door neighbors drive was not plowed!! Great neighbor always bring us fruit and vegetables from his extensive garden, and even letting my two girls plant gardens and flowers at his place this summer. He has a nice black topped drive and turn around, and area in front of pole barn. Lots to plow, and drifts up to two feet tall. Best two and half hours I’ve spent in long time. Really a good neighbor, and felt great to be able to return a small favor and use the Jubilee. I’ve got a list of things to repair, replace, or just general maintenance on the Jubilee. I’ll be coming back for some more good advice. Thanks again guys… Randy NAA in Michigan
