Default NF Frame Holes

Curious what the circled holes are for on an earlier NF tractor. I assume the pair near the front of the tractor have something to do with a later quick-tach setup, but that doesn't explain the one back by the footrest. They are on both framerails, same positions.

The two holes up by the mule drive are for putting a 38" timed deck on.
The other hole is not known by me.

Those 2 were also used to mount the chute turner rod holder for the snow thrower

I'm guessing that the pic is of a 100. One of my 70's has a hole in the same location (except on the left side) I didn't see a hole there on the right side, but the hydraulic lift is kind of in the way. I didn't go down and look at the other 70 or the 100 to see if they have it or not.

For what it's worth, often times there will be a hole punched in the "blank" that the part is made from (in this case the frame rail). There is normally a locating pin in the first die used in the stamping process. The blank is positioned in the die with the locating pin through this hole, it insures that the blank is positioned properly in the die before the press is cycled. Many times there will also be a locating pin in several of the dies but almost always in the first die.

Further, this same hole is sometimes used in the assembly process for alignment purposes in the welding fixture, for lifting/transporting the part, or for holding the part while other parts are attached to it as it moves along the assembly line.

It is very uncommon for any of the actual bolt holes in a part to be used during the assembly process for anything other than their intended purpose. For instance, they wouldn't drag the frame down the line using the engine mounting holes or the clutch pedal holes. Oddly enough, the original locating hole is almost never used for anything in the finished product.

That's all I know about that.

Yes, it is a picture of a 100.

Thank you for the input everyone. It is very appreciated.

I had a suspicion they might be assembly holes, but didn't want to fab up something that uses those holes only to find a neat, useful attachment that mounts to the tractor via those same holes.

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.
