That would be around 1972 (Sept. 1972 I think) with the 86, 108, 109, 128, 129, 149 tractors (the 169 came a little later). Up till then there was the Original and the narrow frames.

IH started production on the Wide Frame series in September of 1971 with the 86, 108, 109, 128, 129, 149, 169 model tractors. That series ended in September of 1974 and IH started production on the Quiet Line series in October of 1974.

Some of the other fellas here may have some actual production dates, but without taking the time to look it up, I'm not exactly sure what they are. This will get you really close though.

My mistake, T-Mo, is exactly right. The 169's did come along some time after production started on the others.

They went to the wideframe because of the bigger 14 horse Kohler engines. On the 147, they notched the frame out for the blower housing of the engine, but they made the frame bigger on the 1X8 and 1X9 series.

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.
