Default Spring assist
What is the difference between a Narrow Frame and a Wide Frame spring assist? IE why is there a difference?

That's a good question.?

Having a# 109- wide frame, I bought a spring assist for my # 122 narrow frame last year from a member. Not having put it on ( yet) but tinkering with it I can see that the unit would NOT fit on my wide frame. One can probably make it work but it would take some big modifications to make it work the way it's made. I'm sure many from this site are just some awesome fabricators that could make it work but I'm not one of them. Now with my NEW # 127 I'm thinking of thinning out & going to get rid of the # 122
& all the stuff I have for it.

Nik,

Because the frame, lift handle, etc. are totally different.

Iirc the difference is the mount to the rear of the frame. As well as the rod on the end of the spring has different bends in it. This is Tue info I got while hunting one down for my 1000. The spring and bolt are the same I believe I never did buy the wideframe one I just have a narrow

Ok thanks.

I've never really looked under a WF and didn't know why there would be a difference. Thanks

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
