New guy question about 1X8/1X9 Series
 

Looking to buy a 149 Cub Cadet, I see this all the time "1X8/1X9 Series" are there 2 models in the 149 cub cadets?
What cub cadets are 1x8?
What cub cadets are 1x9?

Thanks

First 2 digits represent hp rating (10,12,14,16), even #s are gear drive (8) odd #s are hydrostatic drive (9)

There's also an oddball model 86, 8 hp gear drive

First, welcome to OCC.......... :Welcome2:

1X8/9 means all the models (Gear & Hydro) that fall into that series.

Gear Drive: [Gear drives end in 8 - even numbers]
*86 - 108 - 128 [ 8 - 10 - 12 HP]

Hydro Drive:[Hydro drives end in 9 - odd numbers]
*109 - 129 - 149 - 169 [10 - 12 - 14 - 16 HP]

Thanks, good to know.
