Default Wide frame vs narrow frame -wheel base?
can anyone fill me in on how much wider the axle/rear wheel base on a 149 would be then on my 100? Thanks in advance.

The rear on the 149 is not any wider. The WF vs NF difference is in the frame rails where the engine sets.

I've never actually had a tape measure on either of them, but I don't think there is any difference in the width of the transaxles, the overall width difference comes from the rear wheel width/offset.

For the front axles, the Narrow Frame front axle and spindles are a lot narrower than the Wide Frame front axle and spindles, if the correct wide front wheels are installed on each, the overall width ends up being almost the same, because the wheel offsets are reversed between the two.

Not sure if any of this answers your question or not.

To add....the only thing that comes to my mind is the tire width of the rear wheels. 10.50's vs 8.50's. The rear end and axles would all be the same.

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.
