Interesting - a 9N with Jubilee sheet metal and a wide front.

They made Jubilee's with a wide front, just like a 4n

Yes they did - never said they didn't.

Matter of fact, I've never seen a Jubilee with a narrow (one row)
front.

No, but there are examples of narrow row Fords all over the place.

A Jubilee? Do a google search in images, to start. I've never, ever
seen a Jubilee with a one row front end. Not saying there weren't any,
but I've been around many, many old tractors in my life, and I've
never
seen one.

Hmmmm - disconnect in terms. My bad.

I'm not talking about wide front like Internationals which made it an
option - crow row or wide front. Fords and Ferguson's made a "narrow"
front which placed the front tires closer together, but it wasn't a
crop row. And by narrow, I mean that the tires were set closer to the
frame than the standard tractors.

Orchards used to use them a lot as they could turn on a dime. There
is a fellow over in East Putnam that has one with the Offenhauser race
engine after market "option". I got on it one time and spun the rear
tires - in fifth gear. :)

There are some other kind of interesting tractors around here. One of
my good friends, Harold Foskett, has a International F1 with a Model T
engine in it. He also has my old Super MTA-D and the MTA that I
restored over three years. He lusts after my C model, but I ain't
letting him have it. :)

I ought to go down there and take some pictures of his collection.


Pansy. My grandpa had a Cat. Very early model. I think it was a D4 40
hp
gas. They were invented about 50 miles from where I now live.

Long after International and Allis Chalmers you pansy.

Had to be a 1930's model. As I remember it when I would go to Turlock as
a
sub teen, and it was old then.

There is a fellow down in Canterbury who has a collection of really
neat bulldozers.

The creme de la creme is a John Deere dozer purpose built for building
the Dew Line.

He actually found it on a hunting trip to the Artic Circle, got
permission to move it and restored it to running condition.

It's quite the machine.

I would have probably seen that if I had taken the job of being a civilian
contractor on the DEW line. Back in fall of 1964. Might have gotten me out
of going to basic training, that would have been good.
