Hi!

When it comes down to the basic chassis, without anything else - the basic frame- are the holes alike?

Couldn't find the info on the web, so hoping your personal experience can answer this.

Thanks!

Are You talking about the I.H. Cub Cadets The diffrence between the wide and Narrow Frame's?

 

[Sheila]

Yes, IH, 1x6/7 and earlier. So sorry for not being more clear -

Would IH change the frame every 2 years, or all narrow frames are the same, it's just what they hung on it that year?

:thanku:

Sheila,
There are narrow frames and wide frames. There are also tall tunnel nf's and short tunnel nf's. The wide frames are mostly all the same. I think all nf's hydros are tall tunnels for the hydro pumps that's why the change the height of the frame. The wide frames are the easiest to work on. The thicknest of the frame are all about the same. Hope this helps.

So she is asking if the all the narrow frames are interchangeable and it seems like the answer is no. The gear narrows would be the same frame and the hydro models would be the taller (different) narrow frame is that right?

 

[Cub Cadet Head]

Looks like Sergeant has it right, cept one of his 125's should be a 124 (not trying to sound like the correct police).

The type of tranny it has doesn't make a difference so much in the frame, the only difference I can think of off hand between a gear drive and a hydro is that a 123 frame has an access hole on the left side that a 71/102/122 doesn't have.

The frame differences are pretty much between each of different series just the way Sergeant has it layed out.

 

[Sergeant]

Thank You. I can't belive I did that.:thThumbsU
