[AT] wondering

[Dean VP]

Farmer,

Thanks for the clarification.  I have by habit kind of followed the convention that All Jubilee's had
the NAA designation but that not all NAA's were Jubilee's. Thereby NAA's were sold after the Jubilee
name was dropped.  So in my mind the NAA model name came after the Jubilee.  If you read the
description of this in the following web page one could get thoroughly confused;

Yep.
Just to clear one tiny thing up... The 1953 Jubilee was in fact a model NAA
as was the 1954. Ours had a model NAA label under the access lid on the
hood.
There were a number of left over Jubilee's on dealer's floors in early 1954
and they were Jubilee's but the 54 production tractors were not.

And... Ebay and Craigslist aside the rest of the tractors made within 10
years on either side of 1953 were not either...
